Convert EditText to TextView Programatically?

Question

What I Want

I want to convert EditText into TextView programmatically.

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/inputValue"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="number" />

how can I convert the above EditText to below TextView

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="TextView" />

you probably can't, better question is _why_ do you want this — a_local_nobody, Mar 07 '22 at 06:52
Because I want to reuse the layout. I don't want to redesign everything just for EditText to TextView. — Haris, Mar 07 '22 at 07:00
One thing you can do is that set text to edittext and disable the edittext so that user can't give any input using that editext. — Kamal Nayan, Mar 07 '22 at 07:00

You can use 1 edittext and 1 Textview on same postion and hide them according to your need

or
You can use editText.setEnabled(false);

Thank You So Much, That is exactly what I wanted. 2nd option perfectly worked for me. – Haris Mar 07 '22 at 07:03
this doesn't actually convert the edit text to a textview - you're either just using two, or disabling it, so the original question was just asked incorrectly and needed to do more research, as this is something which could have been easily found – a_local_nobody Mar 07 '22 at 07:31
