How to Disable TextField In Flutter?

TextField Widget in Flutter Application is used to get data from users and store that data into the database. So in this article, we will be going through How to Disable TextField In Flutter.

How to Disable TextField In Flutter?

• TextField now has enabled property. where you can just disable the TextField like

  new TextField(
      enabled: false, 
      ...
      ...
  )

  TextField and TextFormField both have an argument called enabled. You can control it using a boolean variable. enabled=true means it will act as an editing text field whereas enabled=false will Disable the TextField Widget.

• Create AlwaysDisabledFocusNode and pass it to the focusNode property of a TextField Widget.

  class AlwaysDisabledFocusNode extends FocusNode {
    @override
    bool get hasFocus => false;
  }

  then you can also use this, as shown below:

  new TextField(
      enableInteractiveSelection: false, // will disable paste operation
      focusNode: new AlwaysDisabledFocusNode(),
      ...
      ...
  )

User can also try like a below:

TextField(
    enableInteractiveSelection: false,
    focusNode: FocusNode(),
)

enableInteractiveSelection will disable content selection of TextField .

Similar to disabled in HTML

TextField(
    enable: false
)

So you can also make it happen like below:

AbsorbPointer(
      absorbing: true,  //To disable from touch use false while **true** for otherwise
      child: Your WidgetsName
);

I have used a combination of readOnly and enableInteractiveSelection properties to achieve the desired behavior on the TextField Widget.

TextField(
  readOnly: true,
  enableInteractiveSelection: true,
  onTap: () {
    do_something(),
  },
)
