How to Set an EditText uneditable/disabled

Question

I have a editView with OnClick event to show Calender like this :

 <EditText
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/checkOut"
            android:onClick="onPlayButton"
            android:inputType="date"
            />

I want to disable typing in this EditView in order user just could select date from my calender.

Set android:focusable="false" in your EditText tag

@vrundpurohit It works for me. :) The soft keyboard does not pop up when it does not receive focus. – SripadRaj Jun 08 '16 at 09:18

well that's great if it worked for you... but i still recommend to use `android:editable="false"` instead of `android:focusable="false"`. – V-rund Puro-hit Jun 08 '16 at 09:23

Try this.

By Java

editText.setEnabled(false);

By xml

android:editable="false"

or if you want to show the edittext but not input any values

edittext.setInputType(0);

You should use some thing like this

<EditText
    ...
    android:editable="false"
    android:inputType="none" />
