Bootstrap datetimepicker don't work with readonly or disabled

Question

I have a serious problem with bootstrap datetimepicker, Here is the jsfiddle :

<br/> <!-- padding for jsfiddle --> <div class="row">     <div class="col-md-12">          <h6>datetimepicker1</h6>          <div class="form-group">             <div class="input-group date" id="datetimepicker1">                 <input type="text" class="form-control" >   <span class="input-group-addon"><span class="glyphicon-calendar glyphicon"></span></span>             </div>         </div>     </div> </div> 

The problem is that when i open my website in mobile, mobile keyboard triggered when i focus the input field so what i need is that only the datepicker show without keyboard. So for that i use readonly or disabled, but the problem is that when i use one of them the bootstrap datetimepicker doesn't work. http://jsfiddle.net/faissal_aboullait/kx0e5wmq/1/

If your are still looking for a solution take a look at the snippet. This is exactly what i suggested in the comment, you just have to call datetimepicker with

ignoreReadonly: true 

That's it.

$(function () {    $('#datetimepicker').datetimepicker({      ignoreReadonly: true    });  });

.container {    margin-top: 80px;  }

Use the icon to pick your date not the text field. The text field is read only.

The clause readonly="yes" in put statement is workable, actually required libraries are not included, that are as following ones
