Unable to disable EditText programmatically in kotlin android

Question

I am trying to disable an EditText programmatically in Kotlin but I am not finding any method to do. I tried below code which didnt work:

panEditText.focusable = false //Requires API 26 and above.

panEditText.enabled = false //No such method found

How to disable EditText in Kotlin programming language?

By disable do you want deny userInput or just hide it from the view? If you want to hide it will be panEditText.visibility=view.INVISIBLE — udit7395

setEnabled is indeed inaccessible from kotlin, can't figure out why though — Samuel Eminet

You should use isEnabled.

Set the enabled state of this view.

 panEditText.isEnabled =false

Method Overview

@android.view.RemotableViewMethod
    @Override
    public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
        if (enabled == isEnabled()) {
            return;
        }

        if (!enabled) {
            // Hide the soft input if the currently active TextView is disabled
            InputMethodManager imm = InputMethodManager.peekInstance();
            if (imm != null && imm.isActive(this)) {
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindowToken(), 0);
            }
        }

        super.setEnabled(enabled);

        if (enabled) {
            // Make sure IME is updated with current editor info.
            InputMethodManager imm = InputMethodManager.peekInstance();
            if (imm != null) imm.restartInput(this);
        }

        // Will change text color
        if (mEditor != null) {
            mEditor.invalidateTextDisplayList();
            mEditor.prepareCursorControllers();

            // start or stop the cursor blinking as appropriate
            mEditor.makeBlink();
        }
    }
