I have an editText which is disabled and I want to enable it when I touch it.

Here is what I've done but it doesn't work :

if(textmail.isEnabled() == false){

        textmail.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

            @Override

            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

                textmail.setEnabled(true);

                return true;

            }





        });

    }

If you disable the Edittext, it will not trigger the events i.e. onTouch/onClick. In order to tackle this issue, you need to avoid using disable and use clickable instead. textmail.setClickable(false); within your onCreate method.

To make the component look like it has been disabled, you can also work with the Alpha value where you are to reduce the opacity of the component to make it look faded away.

textmail.setAlpha(0.5f);

Now it should response to your listener...

textmail.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

    @Override

    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

        textmail.setClickable(true);

        textmail.setAlpha(1f);

        return false;

    }

});

i read your use-case carefully you want to disable your TextView and want to disable it onTouch() (Correct me if i am wrong)

Here's a solution instead of using setEnabled() as if you set it onTouch() is not called so better to do it manually by declaring a global variable(boolean) in your (View/activity/fragment/class) where you are writing the logic.

    //this as global variable

    private boolean isTextViewDisabled=false;





    //place this code on onCreate()

    textmail.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override

        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

            if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN ){

             if(isTextViewDisabled){

               return false;

              }

            }

          return true;

        }

    });

Set your isTextViewDisabled to true and false when needed as per your use-case.

But confusion here is condition for enabling and disabling should be something else not the touch event as according to your use case code should be like below:

   //place this code on onCreate()

    textmail.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override

        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

            if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN ){

             if(isTextViewDisabled){

               isTextViewDisabled=false;

              }

            }

          return true;

        }

    });

The above code doesn't make a lot of sense until you explain why you want to disable the textView

try this i hope this help

        textmail.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

            @Override

            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {







       if(textmail.isEnabled() == false){

                textmail.setEnabled(true);

            }  

                return true;

            }





        });
