checkbox.setClickable(false) doesn't work in android

Question

I am trying a custom based listview which has a text and checkbox. I would like to disable the checkbox's clickable feature. So that the user will only be able to click on the item row rather than clicking on the checkbox.

I tried the following:

 holder.checkbox = (CheckBox) convertView.findViewById(R.id.checkBox);
 holder.checkbox.setClickable(false);

This is not disabling the clickable. How do I fix this issue?

Thanks!

Try this

   holder.checkbox.setEnabled(false);

for dealing with the colours of the checkbox(as asked by you in comments) see this Android: Set color of CheckBox

yup,it is telling you that your checkbox is disabled – nobalG Aug 25 '14 at 07:39
Is this the only way? Is there any other work around? – TheDevMan Aug 25 '14 at 07:41
you want to disable a checkbox but don't want your users to see it that it is disabled.You will need to set some .xml file for it – nobalG Aug 25 '14 at 07:43
Yep. I just want to disable the clickable part in the checkbox. – TheDevMan Aug 25 '14 at 07:44
I tried what ever you recommended. It is not working. I can't see the changes I have done in my XML. – TheDevMan Aug 25 '14 at 09:38

Use setEnable(true/false) instead of clickable
