how to make a Switch unclickable in android in xml


I have this xml layout, I want to make the switch element unclickable (disabled) so that when a user tries to press it, it doesn't work. how can I do this?

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:weightSum="2">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="@string/english"
        android:textSize="18sp" />

    <Switch
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:textSize="18sp" />

</LinearLayout>

Solution

  • Add android:enabled="false" to your Switch element.

    <Switch
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        **android:enabled="false"** />
