Disabling Spinner in android

Question

I\'m having problems when using android:enabled=\"false\", it\'s not disabling the component in the case it\'s a spinner

Answer 1

You can set this in the Java code itself, instead of in the XML, because the Spinner should implement setEnabled(boolean) from View.

Answer 2

you can set android:clickable="false" in the xml to disable the spinner for click event.

Answer 3

Disable or enable it before setting the adapter.

yourSpinner.setEnabled(false);   
yourSpinner.setClickable(false);  
yourSpinner.setAdapter(typeAdapter);

Answer 4

It's not possible to enable/disable a Spinner in XML (yet). To do so you have to do it in code.

Here's an example:

Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.mySpinner);
spinner.setEnabled(false);
