How to prevent the user from typing in Edittext, but allow clicking on it to open a Datepicker?

Question

I have an Edittext that when clicking on it opens a Datepicker, how to prevent the user from typing in Edittext? I tried to use edtData.setEnable(false) but clicking on editText nothing happens.

Answer 1

Add the following to Edittext:

android:focusable="false"

This will prevent Edittext from receiving phocus, not allowing you to type in it.

Alternatively use a Textview instead of Edittext.

For Textview to look like an Edittext use:

style="@android:style/Widget.EditText"

Answer 2

To avoid editing in Edittext set Keylistener to null

edtData.setKeyListener(null);
