I'm trying to put a EditText as not editable with this code:
<EditText android:id="@+id/outputResult"
android:inputType="text"
android:editable="false"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/result" />
I had to add this for not editable
android:focusable="false"
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks you verry much
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.
In case you want to make an EditText not editable from code:
void disableInput(EditText editText){
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
editText.setTextIsSelectable(false);
editText.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
@Override
public boolean onKey(View v,int keyCode,KeyEvent event) {
return true; // Blocks input from hardware keyboards.
}
});
}
In case you want to remove the horizontal line of your EditText, just add:
editText.setBackground(null);
If you want to let users copy the content of the EditText then use:
editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/editTexteventdate"
android:background="@null"
android:hint="Date of Event"
android:textSize="18dp"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:editable="false"
android:focusable="false"
android:clickable="false"
/>
Add this
android:editable="false"
android:focusable="false"
android:clickable="false"
its work for me
I guess I am late but use following together to make it work:
android:inputType="none"
android:enabled="false"
Add below line in youe xml edittext.
android:editable="false"
android:focusable="false"
android:clickable="false"
Its working for me
I had this problem, too.
I did this:
<EditText
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/yourid"
android:editable="false"
android:inputType="none" />
Use This:
EditText edtText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourEditTextId);
edtText.setEnabled(false);
also you can use this in your xml file.
If you really want to use an editText and not a textView, then consider using these three:
android:focusable="false"
android:clickable="false"
android:longClickable="false"
EDIT: The "longClickable" attribute disables the long press actions that cause the "Paste" and or "Select All" options to show up as a tooltip.
