EditText either editable or non editable and clickable

Question

I have a RecyclerView with the following items layout:

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        ....
        android:clickable="@{viewModel.isClickable}"
        android:onClick="@{viewModel::onPropertyClicked}">

        <LinearLayout
            ....
            android:clickable="false">

            <TextView 
                android:clickable="false"
                android:focusable="false"
                .... />

            <EditText
                ...
                android:text="@{viewModel.propertyValue}"
                android:focusable="@{viewModel.isEditTextClickable}"
                android:focusableInTouchMode="@{viewModel.isEditTextClickable}"
                android:cursorVisible="@{viewModel.isEditTextClickable}"
android:clickable="@{!viewModel.isEditTextClickable}"/>

        </LinearLayout>

        <ImageView ... />

    </LinearLayout>

I want depending on a boolean the EditText to be either editable or non-editable and clickable . For some unknown reason, my EditText doesn't dispatch the touch event to the parent's parent. If I click on the TextView though, the onClick method is called.

If I specify the onClick of the EditText it works. I am wondering why though it doesn't work through the root ViewGroup's onClick .

I have tried many different things like

• Disable/Enable the EditText using inputType
• If EditText is non-editable and clickable set focusable to false and clickable to true
• Disable/Enable EditText using enabled true/false

It's really weird because the EditText is actually almost the same as the TextView that behaves as expected.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

try to change this android:clickable="@{!viewModel.isEditTextClickable}"/>

for android:clickable="@{viewModel.isEditTextClickable}"/>
