Is it possible to make a checkbox/radio button uncheckable?

Tags:

android

The program I am making has several views in which the user is trying to basically figure out a lot of boolean values. Sounds strange, but what I mean is that my device will connect to another device via bluetooth, and then read the status of that device. I basically display a checklist of the current status of that device. So depending on what that device is doing, different checkboxes are checked. Is there a way to make all of the checkboxes unselectable?

Even better, is there a way to hardcode this into the XML file?

Have you considered using android:clickable for an xml attribute for your checkboxes?

From the documentation:

Defines whether this view reacts to click events.

If it cannot react to click events, then it effectively becomes uncheckable.
