How to disable an Android button?

Question

I have created a layout that contains two buttons, Next and Previous. In between the buttons I'm generating some dynamic views. So when I first launch the application I want to disable the "Previous" button since there wont be any previous views. I also want to disable the "Next" button when there are not more views to display. Is there anyway to disable the buttons?

Accepted Answer

Did you try this?

```
myButton.setEnabled(false); 
```

Update: Thanks to Gwen. Almost forgot that `android:clickable` can be set in your XML layout to determine whether a button can be clickable or not.
