Cannot change EditText back to being editable

Question

I want to make my EditText not Editable through java code, and then get it back to being editable, but it seems that it cannot be changed back.

 noteDetailsview.setClickable(false);
 noteDetailsview.setFocusable(false);
 noteDetailsview.setClickable(true);
 noteDetailsview.setFocusable(true);

Now it is still not editable. How can I make it editable again.

use setEnable(true/false) to make your edittext editable and noneditable.. — malli, Apr 01 '16 at 09:12

you can use these methods:

 public void getFocous(EditText edit) {
        edit.setFocusable(true);
        edit.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
        edit.requestFocus();
        edit.requestFocusFromTouch();
    }



    public void loseFocous(EditText edit) {
        edit.clearFocus();
        edit.setFocusable(false);
    }
