How to set editable true/false EditText in Android

Question

We can set editable property of EditText in XML layout but not programatically, but there is no setEditable() method!

If EditText is not Enabled [ by setEnabled(false)] it still Editable!

Answer 1

try this,

EditText editText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);

editText.setKeyListener(null);

It works fine...

Answer 2

An easy and safe method:

editText.clearFocus();
editText.setFocusable(false);

Answer 3

This may help:

if (cbProhibitEditPW.isChecked()) { // disable editing password
       editTextPassword.setFocusable(false);
       editTextPassword.setFocusableInTouchMode(false); // user touches widget on phone with touch screen
       editTextPassword.setClickable(false); // user navigates with wheel and selects widget
       isProhibitEditPassword= true;
} else { // enable editing of password
       editTextPassword.setFocusable(true);
       editTextPassword.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
       editTextPassword.setClickable(true);
       isProhibitEditPassword= false;
}

Answer 4

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);

Answer 5

Try this it is working fine for me..

EditText.setInputType(0);
EditText.setFilters(new InputFilter[] {new InputFilter()
{
@Override
public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start,
                            int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) 
{
return source.length() < 1 ? dest.subSequence(dstart, dend) : "";

}
}
});
