Question

I am facing problem with enabling an edittext box at initialisation. I have disabled my editbox like so: text_edit.setFocusable(false);

Later, I want to enable the textbox via the click of a checkbox.
The textbox is not being enabled, here is my click event code:

if(((CheckBox) v).isChecked()) {

    Toast.makeText(User_name_search .this, "Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    text_edit.setFocusable(false);
    //checkbox.setChecked(false);

} else {
    Toast.makeText(User_name_search .this, "Not Selected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    text_edit.setFocusable(true);
}

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You should use setOnClickListener or setOnCheckedChangeListener for the checkbox, and when somebody clicks, you should change setfocusable.
