I have a EditText which I am presenting as disabled so that user cannot edit the contents and also to avoid popping-up keyboard. But now I want to capture onclick event in the EditText and identify the individual words that are being clicked.
Any help is most welcome.
Thanks,
Balkrishna.
On your EditText
set attributes android:focusable="false"
and android:enabled="true"
.
And set OnClickListener
to that EditText
. The click on that Edittext triggers the onClick()
method but it can't be edited. I just tried it.
You can make the component unclickable by using.
editText.setClickable(false);
To make the component look visually disabled by decreasing the Alpha value.
editText.setAlpha(0.5f);
It will allow you to set an OnTouchListener on your component by which you can perform your desired operations.
editText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Component is disabled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return false;
}
});
