How to disable EditText in Android

Question

How can I disable typing in an EditText field in Android

User · Answer

In code   editText setEnabled false     Or  in XML   android editable  false

User · Answer

The XML editable property is deprecated since API LEVEL 15   You should use now the inputType property with the value none  But there is a bug that makes this functionality useless   Here you can follow the issue status

According to me   if you have already declared the edittext in the XML file and set the property in the XML file  android enabled false  and disable at runtime to it at that time in java file adding only 2 or 3 lines    First create the object    Declare EditText et1     Get by id  et1    EditText  FindViewById R id edittext1    et1 setEnabled false     You can do enable or disable to every control at run time by java file and design time by XML file
