Android disabling a button

Question

I can't figure out why this wouldn't set a button to be disabled?

btnSaturdayStartTime = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnSaturdayStartTime);
btnSaturdayStartTime.setEnabled(false);

When I click on the button it still fires the listener.

Are you sure you got the right id for your button? That should work in reality. — yogsma

Try using btnSaturdayStartTime.setClickable(false).

See setClickable from the docs.

try the method : Button.setClickable(false) ; or delete the listener on your button like this : button.setOnClickListener(null);

Maybe the button is recreated or re-enabled between you disabling it an the user click interaction. Are you sure you are disabling the right button? What version of Android are you targeting?
