The accepted answer allows only to disable the EditText. The same solution cannot be used to enable it because all EditTexts are not touchables anymore.

The below solution is just an improvement on previously produced solutions.

       fun setAllEditTextEnabled(view: View, enable: Boolean){
            if (view is EditText) {
                view.setEnabled(enable)
            }
            else if (view is ViewGroup) {
                for (i in 0 until view.childCount) {
                    val innerView = view.getChildAt(i)
                    setAllEditTextEnabled(innerView, enable)
                }
            }
        }

The recursivity is the easiest way to do that. More secure to catch them all.

private void setAllEditTextEnabled(@NonNull View view, boolean enable){
    if (view instanceof EditText) {
        view.setEnabled(enable);
    }
    else if (view instanceof ViewGroup) {
        for (int i = 0; i < ((ViewGroup) view).getChildCount(); i++) {
            View innerView = ((ViewGroup) view).getChildAt(i);
            setAllEditTextEnabled(innerView, enable);
        }
    }
}

Where ll is your linearlayout:

    LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.myLLid);
    for (View view : ll.getTouchables()){
        if (view instanceof EditText){
            EditText editText = (EditText) view;
            editText.setEnabled(false);
            editText.setFocusable(false);
            editText.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
        }
    }

LinearLayout linearLayout = 
                    (LinearLayout) getView().findViewById(R.id.contentPanel);

        for (int i=0;i<linearLayout.getChildCount();i++){
            View view = ll.getChildAt(i);
            if (view instanceof EditText){
                EditText editText = (EditText) view;
                editText.setEnabled(false);
            }
        }
