How To Make TextInputEditText Read-only?

Question

I'm trying to make TextInputEditText read-only but I'm getting a quick flash of cursor and click is triggered.

I tried setting isFocusable = false and isClickable = false.

XML Layout:

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="@string/label_address"
    android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/material_layout_vertical_spacing_between_content_areas"
    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox">

    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
        android:id="@+id/input_address"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:imeOptions="actionNext"/>

</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Code to make read-only:

fun TextInputEditText.disable() {
    isFocusable = false
    isClickable = false
}

What is the correct way or proper method in making TextInputEditText read-only?

In XML

Set attribute android:enable="false"in TextInputEditText

The Code

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="Hints"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:layout_margin="40dp">
    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
        android:id="@+id/input_address"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:enabled="false"
        android:imeOptions="actionNext"
        android:text="Hi How are you"
        android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary"
        android:textColorHint="@color/colorPrimary" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
