How do I edit text in xml?

Modify the default content of res/layout/activity_main. xml file to include Android UI control. Run the application to launch Android emulator and verify the result of the changes done in the application. Following is the content of the modified main activity file src/com.

Add this to your EditText xml file:

<EditText ...         android:clickable="false"          android:cursorVisible="false"          android:focusable="false"          android:focusableInTouchMode="false"> </EditText>

It will do the same effect as android:editable="false". Worked for me, hope it'll work for you too.
