Make EditText ReadOnly

Question

I want to make a read-only EditText view. The XML to do this code seems to be android:editable=\"false\", but I want to do this in code.

If you setEnabled(false) then your editText would look disabled (gray, etc). You may not want to change the visual aspect of your editor.

A less intrusive way would be to use setFocusable(false).

I believe that this answers your question closer to your initial intent.
