android editable  false  should work  but it is deprecated  you should be using android inputType  none  instead     Alternatively  if you want to do it in the code you could do this      EditText mEdit    EditText  findViewById R id yourid    mEdit setEnabled false        This is also a viable alternative      EditText mEdit    EditText  findViewById R id yourid    mEdit setKeyListener null        If you re going to make your EditText non-editable  may I suggest using the TextView widget instead of the EditText  since using a EditText seems kind of pointless in that case     EDIT  Altered some information since I ve found that android editable is deprecated  and you should use android inputType  none   but there is a bug about it on android code  So please check this
