Looks like editable is used as a fallback when inputType is specified as "none", which makes it impossible to use inputType="none" by itself to make text non-editable.

Starred.
The original issue (2854) was open in 2009, 7 years later the "editable=false" is still deprecated and there isn't any valid XML alternative to it.
As of as Android-N Dev Preview 2 the best way to achieve the expected result is to set the EditText to android:editable="false".
Is this going to have a valid alternative or should I use android:editable until it gets removed?

Tired looking a solution for that..
As many programming language APIs available this should not be deprecated, or there should be a valid alternative.

Why is this bug ignored?!?
Are we supposed to keep using the deprecated editable="false"?
This bug is open since 2009, it's been 7 years now. (this is a reopen of an automatically closed bug).
It is assigned but now one is looking into it.

Is google jsut going to ignore this bug?
Description
the documentation for it say:
"Use inputType instead."
but inputType="none" does not achieve anything, there's no inputType that makes EditText work as if using editable="false"
Why would you do it?
I just give you an example
I want to wrap my EditText for birthday with the new design library widget:
android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
this widget does not work on non-EditText.
I still want to lock the EditText so that the user does not manually change the value but has to go throw my button that open a Date Picker.
disabling the EditText visually change the widget and even if I can redefine the background / text color it's just way easier to just set editable="false"
I suggest to either remove the deprecation or introduce a new inputType="lock" that does the thing editable="false" did.
This way we can both set editable="false" (older platforms) and inputType="lock" (new ones).
This bug is a re-opening of very old bug marked as obsolete but never solved:
Bonus: setting lock / editable="false" should trigger a warning if focusable has not been set to false too to avoid the issue described in
