edittext disabled and scroll horizontal

I want to do scroll when the EditText is disabled and contains a large text in 1 line.

I try edittext.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL)

but background don't change, and users can not tell the difference when they can edit or not.

EDIT: my xml:

<EditText
                android:id="@+id/et_address"
                android:layout_width="0dip"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:inputType="text"
                android:maxLength="120"
                android:maxLines="1"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:nextFocusDown="@+id/et_name" />

the horizontal scroll works fine when edittext is enable, i want the same when edittext turn disabled

The EditText that needs several attributes is the search field, such as the field of the Google search engine

You can do it like this

<EditText
                                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                                android:layout_height="40dp"
                                android:scrollbars="horizontal"
                                android:scrollHorizontally="true"
                                android:singleLine="true" 
                                android:background="#FFF"
                                android:paddingHorizontal="10dp"
                                android:gravity="center_vertical"
                                android:hint="search"
                                android:textSize="12sp" />

XML

 android:singleLine="true"
 android:scrollHorizontally="true"

Code

myEditText.setKeyListener(null);

This way the edit text is not enabled and the scrolling works. You can also change the color of the text of the editText to #d3d3d3. To have the same apperance as setEnabled(false)

Worked for me, Hope it helps someone

EditText et= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et_address);
et.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

try the android:singleLine="true" in your xml for single line and increase the font size for large text. for scroll can you describe the exactly what you want?

You can use the following parameters in the edittext. 

et.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.WHITE));
et.setHintTextColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
et.setFocusable(false);
et.setClickable(false);
et.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
et.setEnabled(true);
et.setKeyListener(null);
et.setHorizontallyScrolling(true);

So that when edit is pressed, it will work as the desired behaviour and else will behave as text view.

Short answer:

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/et_1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:ems="10"
            android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
            android:scrollHorizontally="true" />

Example, how to use PopUpWindow instead default keyboard:

        //Your Main Layout        
        RelativeLayout mainLayout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.activity_rl);

        LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)getBaseContext()
                .getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        //Set layout instead keyboard (Linear layout with buttons)  
        View popupView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.keyboard, null);  
        PopupWindow ppwin = new PopupWindow(popupView, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,  
        LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        //Some Button on that Linear layout
        Button bt = (Button)popupView.findViewById(R.id.button1);
        bt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    edit_text.setText(edit_text.getText().toString()+"Your text");
                }
        });
       //Your EditText in Main layout 
        EditText edit_text = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.et_1);
        edit_text .setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
                @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                    //show PopUpWindow with buttons instead default keyboard
                    //or your custom keyboard
                    ppwin.showAtLocation(mainLayout, Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, 0);
                    return false;
                }
       });

Better use textview and set background like edittext using XML style

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/output"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:background="@drawable/btnstyle"
                android:hint="@string/convert"
                android:inputType="number"
                android:textColor="#000000"
                android:scrollbars="horizontal"
                android:scrollHorizontally="true"
                android:gravity="left|center"
                android:textSize="18sp"

               />

and set

        Output = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.output);
        Output.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

Hope this Helpful
