Question

I have an editext which populates on the click of a button.

The problem is when I load android the cursor is allowing this editext to be editable.

I need the edittext not be editable and only update onclick. Is this possible?

Thanks

Tommy…. You can change the text in the onClick handler using setText. Here is some sample code for enabling or disabling editing dynamically:

given

private boolean isProhibitEditPassword= false;

You can do:

     if (cbProhibitEditPW.isChecked()) { // disable editing password
            editTextPassword.setFocusable(false);
            editTextPassword.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
            editTextPassword.setClickable(false);
            isProhibitEditPassword= true;
        }
        else { // enable editing of password
            editTextPassword.setFocusable(true);
            editTextPassword.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
            editTextPassword.setClickable(true);
            isProhibitEditPassword= false;
        }
