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

Use this code:

editText.setEnabled(false);
editText.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.black);

Disabling editText gives a read-only look and behavior but also changes the text-color to gray so setting its text color is needed.
