Disable a text edit field in flutter

Question

I need to disable TextFormField occasionally. I couldn\'t find a flag in the widget, or the controller to simply make it read only or disable. What is the best way to do it?

Answer 1

I have used a combination of readOnly and enableInteractiveSelection properties to achieve the desired behavior on TextField.

TextField(
  readOnly: true,
  enableInteractiveSelection: true,
  onTap: () {
    do_something(),
  },
)

With enableInteractiveSelection set to true, it will allow onTap() to function as normal.
