RealEditText behaves like TextView (Eclipse compatible)

I am using RealTextView and I am facing the following problem. First of all let me say, I would love to use this in Android Studio (and gradle). However, I have a project in Eclipse that needs the RealEditText properties. I've tried * manually importing the library and RealEditText behaves like a TextView.

in my layout.xml:

<com.myapplication.view.RealEditText
 android:id="@+id/realEditText1"
android:layout_width="400dp"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_marginTop="70dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/textView1"
android:ems="10"
real:minTextSize="18sp"
android:text="RealEditText" />

      

        
        
        
      

    

And then referencing it in the activity / fragment (pretty common practice, nothing happens here).

private RealEditText mRealEText;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mRealEText = (RealEditText) findViewById(R.id.realEditText1);

}

      

        
        
        
      

    

I also tried adding a property android:editable="true"

to the view, but that didn't matter. Has anyone tried to import this library into Eclipse? Any ideas why this is happening?

* copied the lib package (no checkboxes and button views), updated attr.xml with lib data

EDIT:

The solution to this problem includes touch properties in the widget declaration:

android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
