Android EditText disable edit but allow scrolling

Question

I know that is possible to disable editing EditText.

Answers is here, and here.

But, when i disable EditText it also disabled vertical scroll in this text.

Is it possible to disable only editing, but allow scrolling?

Answer 1

    editText.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
    editText.clearFocus();

Answer 2

Use this porperties in your EdittText:

android:enabled="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:scrollbars="vertical"

Your EditText will be enable, but not focusable for edit. Then, you will able to scroll (in vertical on this case) and will not able to edit.

Answer 3

I've found that just disabling the key listener, focusable and cursor seems to work:

editText.setKeyListener( null );
editText.setFocusable( false );
editText.setCursorVisible(false);

As long as you keep the edit text enabled you seem to be able to scroll the text still.

Answer 4

If you wrap your EditText in a ScrollView then you should be able to preserve the scroll behavior.

<ScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <EditText ... />

</ScrollView>
