Android EditText help: uneditable text beside EditText

Question

I want to have an edittext that has an uneditable text beside it (on the left, the beginning of the EditText). Just like this one, How do I go with this?

The text you want to display in your edit text is static or dynamic ? — Radhey, Oct 31 '15 at 11:06

Put constant text inside EditText which should be non-editable - Android

I found this useful for those who wanted it. I haven't applied it yet but this would work, right?

final EditText edt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);

edt.setText("Speed");
Selection.setSelection(edt.getText(), edt.getText().length());


edt.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }

        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                int after) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

                Selection.setSelection(edt.getText(), edt.getText().length());
