Make EditText behave as a TextView in code

Question

How to make an EditText look like a TextView that is done in Java but not in XML..

I have seen how to do it using xml file like

style=\"@android:styl         


        

Answer 1

This was all I needed to create the effect.

In code:

ET.setFocusable(false);

And in layout:

android:background="@android:color/transparent"

Setting the background in the layout completely removes the under bar, as apposed to just hiding it in code.

Make it editable again with:

ET.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);

Answer 2

EditText Et; // initialize your edittext//

Et.setCursorVisible(false);
Et.setLongClickable(false);
Et.setClickable(false);
Et.setFocusable(false);
Et.setSelected(false);
Et.setKeyListener(null);
Et.setBackgroundResource(android.R.color.transparent);

And you'll never see it like an EditText again.
