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.

I had no problem making EditTextPreference read-only, by using:

editTextPref.setSelectable(false);

This works well when coupled with using the 'summary' field to display read-only fields (useful for displaying account info, for example). Updating the summary fields dynamically snatched from http://gmariotti.blogspot.com/2013/01/preferenceactivity-preferencefragment.html

private static final List keyList;

static {
    keyList = new ArrayList();
    keyList.add("field1");
    keyList.add("field2");
    keyList.add("field3");
}

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
