Question

I have an AlertDialog defined this way:

final CharSequence[] items = { "Red", "Green", "Blue", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten" };

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Pick a color");

builder.setSingleChoiceItems(items, 0, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {

        // Set items uncheckable

        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    }
});

builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
});

AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();

FIRST QUESTION

Is it possible to mark some of the items as uncheckable?
Although I’m showing various items I what the user understand that the items exist but some of them are uncheckable.

SECOND QUESTION

If there is a way to accomplish my first question, is it possible to put that uncheckable items grayed out?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Maybe something like:

(AlertDialog)builder.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE).setEnabled(false); 

Here is another way:

Button button = dialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
button.setEnabled(false)

See if that works. Also make sure you this after builder.create(); but before alert.show()

EDIT: For the list items I think you can use getListView() with that you can access the checkable options, and the use setEnabled(false)
