Disabling of EditText in Android

by

I believe the correct would be to set android:editable="false".

And if you wonder why my link point to the attributes of TextView, you the answer is because EditText inherits from TextView:

EditText is a thin veneer over
TextView that configures itself to be
editable.

Update:
As mentioned in the comments below, editable is deprecated (since API level 3). You should instead be using inputType (with the value none).
