How to manually focus on EditBox in Android/iOS

Hi,
I want to know how to manually focus on EditBox in Android and iOS.
Are the following topics, have the manual focus API been added?
http://discuss.cocos2d-x.org/t/how-to-focus-editbox-in-android-ios/31982

Currently the focus API is missing, now only the web platform supports this API.

The Focus API will be added in v1.6.

I see.
Thank you!

Focus API available for iOS / android added?

I dont think this has been added yet. @owen @slackmoehrle?

I don’t believe it has yet. Also @owen has moved on to another company quite some time ago IIRC

Oh really.
If so, will not the API be added?
