How to disable EditText in Android

Question

How can I disable typing in an EditText field in Android?

Answer 1

Edittext edittext = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edit);
edittext.setEnabled(false);

Answer 2

you can use EditText.setFocusable(false) to disable editing
EditText.setFocusableInTouchMode(true) to enable editing;

Answer 3

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

1. First create the object
2. Declare EditText et1;

3. 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.

Answer 4

edittext.setFocusable(false); 
edittext.setEnabled(false);

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)
  getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edittext.getWindowToken(), 0);
  //removes on screen keyboard

Answer 5

Just set focusable property of your edittext to "false" and you are done.

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/EditTextInput"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:cursorVisible="true">
    </EditText>

Below options doesn't work

In code:

editText.setEnabled(false); Or, in XML: android:editable="false"
