setEnabled doesnt work in android
android, java
Solution
What do you expect `setEnabled(false)` to do to a TextView?
If you want to hide the TextView, you should rather call `setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE)`
If you want to disable clicks, you should rather call `setOnClickListener(null)`
If you want the text to display in a disabled state, then you need to define the states for the view in a separate XML file.
For example textView.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_enabled="true" android:color="@color/enabled" />
<item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/disabled" />
</selector>
And then in your TextView definition use
android:textColor="@drawable/textView"
Problem
I have this code: ``` public TextView main_text;//begining of the class main_text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextMain); //inside OnCreate main_text.setEnabled(false); //inside button handler ``` And now the part of Xml ``` <TextView android:id="@+id/TextMain" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="left" android:textColor="#FFFFFF" android:text="@string/home_load" > </TextView> ``` Why doesnt SetEnable work? It seems so obvious that it should.
