Set button clickable property to false

android, onclicklistener

Solution

Use

btn.setEnable(false);

instead of

btn.setClickable(false);

Problem

I need to disable the `click-event` for a button in Android. Just as a sample, I have tried doing the following. I have taken a `TextView` named it (entered a text) as Name. The condition checks if, `TextView` is empty button and clickable should be set to false. However this does not happen when the Toast is printed. Can somemone tell me the reason. Also if the text field is not empty I want to reset the `clickable event` for button as true. Java File: ``` public class ButtonclickabkeActivity extends Activity { TextView tv; Button btn; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); tv.setText("Name"); btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); if (tv.getText().toString().length() != 0) { btn.setClickable(false); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "" + tv.getText().toString().length(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } else { btn.setClickable(true); } btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View arg0) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Button clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } }); } } ``` XML file: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello"/> <TextView android:text="TextView" android:id="@+id/textView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> <Button android:text="Button" android:id="@+id/button1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> </LinearLayout> ```
