Question

I’m fairly new to android programming, and I have the following situation:
I’d like to have two editText fields, where if the user types data into the first, it disables the other field, meaning it’s still visable but not editable by the user.

I’m sure there’s an easy way to do this, but I haven’t been able to find it.

Thank you for the help, and let me know if I’m missing any specific details,
Classy

Use EditText.addTextChangedListener to detect user input data.
Use EditText.setEnabled(false) to disable your second EditText.

editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
                    int count) {


            }

            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                    int after) {


            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                disableEditTExt.setEnabled(false);
            }
        });

Hope this will help you going.
