Question

A very strange situation, I’ve got this code that is supposed to make an EditText filed uneditable if SpnSelected.equals(“Service”) and editable again, if its something else.

final EditText etAdd = (EditText)dialogAddTextView.findViewById(R.id.etSymb);

    if ( SpnSelected.equals("Service") )
    {
        etAdd.setFocusable(false);
        TextView tvInfo = (TextView)dialogAddTextView.findViewById(R.id.tvAddTextInfo);
    }
    else
    {
        etAdd.setFocusable(true);
        TextView tvInfo = (TextView)dialogAddTextView.findViewById(R.id.tvAddTextInfo);
    } 

It does make it uneditable ok, but it doesn’t bring the ability to edit back with etAdd.setFocusable(true);

Any ideas what to do about it? Thanks! 🙂

Answer 1

Try

etAdd.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
etAdd.setFocusable(true);

instead of just

etAdd.setFocusable(true);
