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.

Answer 1

editText.setEnabled(false);
editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[] { new InputFilter() {
    public CharSequence filter(CharSequence src, int start, int end,
            Spanned dst, int dstart, int dend) {
        return src.length() < 1 ? dst.subSequence(dstart, dend) : "";
    }
} });

This will give you uneditable EditText filter. you first need to put the text you want on the editText field and then apply this filter.
