When I disable the EditText with setEnabled(false) or via the xml file android:enabled="false", the background color will be gray:

enter image description here

and if I change the background with a white color android:background="@color/white", I will lose the border:

enter image description here

So my question is, how to disable the EditText (I don’t want any dialog to be pooped up on long-clicking on it) and keep the border as it is?

    I found a way to do it:

    android:editable="false"
    android:cursorVisible="false"
    
    editText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener()
    {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
        {
            return true;
        }
    });
