problem solved but setFocusable(false) working fine but setFocusable(true) is not working from java code. – Bashir Fardoush May 09 '19 at 05:45
before setFocusable(true) you can enable your editext and check if it's working – Vikas Sharma May 09 '19 at 05:52

Use setEnable(boolean)

How to disable?

TextInputEditText tie = findViewById(R.id.my_textInputEditText);
tie.setEnabled(false);

Result: Disabled

How to enable again?

tie.setEnabled(true);

Result: Enabled

You can make use of this

fragmentRegistrationFirstScreenBinding.etName.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            if (hasFocus){
                make editable and let user edit them
            }else {
                do not make editable
            }
        }
    });
