You need to set listeners on your checkboxes, and then have to capture the events like when checkbox is checked and when check is removed to make your editexts work the way you want.Your current code will execute and it will take care of no future events because no listener is registered to capture the events. The Simplest way to start is

CheckBox someCheckBox= (CheckBox) findViewById (R.id.someID);
someCheckBox.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
        if (((CheckBox) v).isChecked()) {
                //CODE TO MAKE THE EDITTEXT ENABLED         
        }
        else 
           //CODE TO MAKE THE EDITTEXT DISABLED     

      }
    });

However there are other ways too,to perform this task, but you can kick off with this right away.
