public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start,
                            int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend)

}
}
});

Answer 5

editText.setFocusable(false);
editText.setClickable(false);

Answer 6

Fetch the KeyListener value of EditText by editText.getKeyListener() and store in the KeyListener type variable, which will contain the Editable property value:

KeyListener variable;
variable = editText.getKeyListener(); 

Set the Editable property of EditText to false as:

 edittext.setKeyListener(null);

Now set Editable property of EditText to true as:

editText.setKeyListener(variable);  

Note: In XML the default Editable property of EditText should be true.
