Apps Read only Edit Text.

[manubharghav]

is it possible to display the edittext widget to be readonly.

for example.

when we execute a sample program with edittext widget then is it possible for the user to only read the text that is only select it but not modify it anyway.

please help.

You could try setting inputtype to none -- that's the only option I see.

You could also just use a textview instead.

android:editable="false"

How do you do this in code?

EditText txt = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.YOUREDITTEXTID);
txt.setEditable(false);

EditText txt = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.YOUREDITTEXTID);
txt.setEditable(false);

while this works, if you would be able to do it from the xml, its going to be beneficial in the long run, cleaner code, etc

if you would be able to do it from the xml

android:editable="false"

Note, having android:inputType seems to override the above snippet.

Use a TextView which is the non editable version of edittext.
