Is there a way to disable an HTMLEditor so that the user cant perform inputs to it?

Hi,
The Javadoc for setHtmlText() reads thus:

Note that if the contentEditable property on the tag of the provided HTML is not set to true, the HTMLEditor will become read-only.

So, you can try: <body contentEditable="false">

Ranga.

Call htmlEditor.setDisable(true) to disable the html editor.

HtmlEditor's setDisable(true) makes the editor's content read-only. I had tried <body contentEditable="false"> in the HTML itself and the display in the editor - it didn't work.

The setDisable(true) also disables the the scrollbar that's associated with the HtmlEditor. To view HTML content as read-only one has to use WebView.
