android setEnabled但未更改文本

Question

I have some edit text fields which I would like to make un-editable at certain times. I have used the setEnabled method but that also grays out the text. Is there a way to toggle whether the field can be edited but not change the appearance of the text? It has been a little while since I last messed with Android but I think I used to be able to use setEditable which did exactly what I am looking for.

I have tried to use the android:focusable="false" but I am still able to edit the field, unless that is only the behavior of the emulator I don't think that will work.

Answer 1

You can disable input for an EditText without any visible indication by setting it's input type to InputType.TYPE_NULL . An example would look like:

import android.text.InputType;
. . .
myEditText..setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);

Note that this behavior doesn't exactly jive with what the reference docs seem to be saying and that there doesn't appear to be an XML equivalent.
