Android disabling a button

Question

I can't figure out why this wouldn't set a button to be disabled?

btnSaturdayStartTime = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnSaturdayStartTime);
btnSaturdayStartTime.setEnabled(false);     

When I click on the button it still fires the listener.

Answer 1

Try using btnSaturdayStartTime.setClickable(false).

See setClickable from the docs.

Answer 2

try the method: Button.setClickable(false); or delete the listener on your button like this: button.setOnClickListener(null);

Answer 3

Maybe the button is recreated or re-enabled between you disabling it an the user click interaction. Are you sure you are disabling the right button? What version of Android are you targeting?
