android:editable is deprecated.

Use only android:focusable="false" in xml.

And on button click -

EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.yourid);
editText.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);

You can use this code : It handles edit and done both events.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {

private EditText edtText;
private Button btnEdit;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    edtText = findViewById(R.id.edtTxt);
    btnEdit = findViewById(R.id.btnEdt);

    edtText.setEnabled(false);
    btnEdit.setText("Edit");

    btnEdit.setOnClickListener(this);
}


@Override
public void onClick(View v) {

    switch (v.getId()) {
        case R.id.btnEdt:  //Your edit button
            enableDisableEditText();
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}

//method for enable or disable edittext
private void enableDisableEditText() {
    if (edtText.isEnabled()) {
        edtText.setEnabled(false);
        btnEdit.setText("Edit");
    } else {
        edtText.setEnabled(true);
        btnEdit.setText("Done");
    }
}

}

Happy coding..

edT.setFocusable(false); //to disable it

 button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
   public void onClick(View v) {
      edT.setFocusableInTouchMode(true); //to enable it
      }
  });

You can disable it in your xml

android:editable="false" 
android:inputType="none"

And enable it programatically in the onClick() of the edit Button

EditText mEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourid);
mEdit.setEnabled(true);
