How to make EditText not editable through XML in Android?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to make an EditText not editable via XML? I tried setting android:editable to false, but

Answer 1

I've tried the following:

codeEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);

this.codeEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

  @Override
  public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {

    if (hasFocus) {

      pickCode();

    }

  }

});
this.codeEditText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {

    pickCode();

  }

});

but the problem was that if the edit text is the first in the form then it gets the focus and the pickCode() code which launches a new activity is called straight away. So I modified the code as follows and it seems to work quite well (except I cannot set the focus on the text edit but I don't need to):

itemCodeEditText.setFocusable(false);

this.itemCodeEditText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {

    pickItem();

  }

});

Best Regards,
