Is it possible to set the focus to a specific button on roSpringboardScreen?!

Sorry, no. At this time, it is not possible to specify button focus in the roSpringboardScreen.

If you're just wanting the selected button to stay selected after a screen refresh or content change (I can't think of any other reason you wouldn't want the first button to have focus initially), you can set UseStableFocus() to true.

Thanks, I will try this.
I want to use this for "Next" and "Previous" buttons, when user clicks on "Next" then on next video I want to still keep focus on "Next" button instead of "Play". But I think that "Play" after "Next" make sense as well.

UseStableFocus will do that. You might also consider using the AllowNavLeft and AllowNavRight instead of explicit "Next" and "Previous" buttons. In most channels, navigating through content on the springboard is typically done with the left and right buttons on the remote.
