Enabling or Disabling EditTExt with CheckBOx not Working

Question

Not Disabling the EditText on execution in onCreate() . But, when clicking on CheckBox the method executes once and then stops execution again.

Anyone help to find the Answer

public void EXtraWorkCalc(){
    extraworkCheck = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.workCheck);
   extraworkCheck.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
       @Override
       public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean b) {
           if (!compoundButton.isChecked()) {
               extraSpace = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.extraWidthEtxt);
               extraSpace.setEnabled(false);
               extraSpace.setBackgroundColor(Color.LTGRAY);
           } else
               extraSpace.setEnabled(true);
               extraSpace.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
       }
   });
}

Answer 1

You are initializing the EditText in inside the checkBox setOnCheckedChangeListener . That's why it's not working.

Initialize your EditText (extraSpace) in oncreate() or before calling EXtraWorkCalc() method.

Move this line to onCreate() :

extraSpace = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.extraWidthEtxt);
