Edittext field enable and disable using button in Android

I am working on an Android application in which I want to make my edittext enable and disable by using a "EDIT" button. I am making something like if I press the button it will enable edittexts and if I again press EDIT button then it will disable EditTexts.

My code snippet is given below. In following condition on first attempt it works fine, but after clicking again it just return "click1".

editText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (clickCount == 0){
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "click0", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    fName.setEnabled(true); 
                    lName.setEnabled(true); 
                    mailText.setEnabled(true);  
                    mobileText.setEnabled(true);    
                }
                clickCount = 1;


  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "click1", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        fName.setEnabled(false);
        lName.setEnabled(false);
        mailText.setEnabled(false);
        mobileText.setEnabled(false);
            }
        });

You can create 2 function :

public static void disableEditText(EditText editText) {
        editText.setFocusable(false);
        editText.setEnabled(false);
        editText.setCursorVisible(false);

     }

And

public static void enableEditText(EditText editText) {
    editText.setFocusable(true);
    editText.setEnabled(true);
    editText.setCursorVisible(true);
 }

It work for me, I hope it will help you!

Thanks!

Try this

  editText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

              @Override
              public void onClick(View v) {
              if (clickCount == 0){
                  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "click0", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                  fName.setEnabled(true); 
                  lName.setEnabled(true); 
                  mailText.setEnabled(true);  
                  mobileText.setEnabled(true);    
                  clickCount = 1;
            }else if(clickCount == 1){
                  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "click1", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                  fName.setEnabled(false);
                  lName.setEnabled(false);
                  mailText.setEnabled(false);
                  mobileText.setEnabled(false);
                  clickCount = 0;
            }

Use if-else and isEnabled :

if(fName.isEnabled())
   fName.setEnabled(false);
else
   fName.setEnabled(true);
//do the same for other Views
