Disable a text edit field in flutter
There is another way this can be achieved which also does not cause this issue. Hope this might help someone.
Create AlwaysDisabledFocusNode and pass it to the focusNode property of a TextField.
class AlwaysDisabledFocusNode extends FocusNode { @override bool get hasFocus => false;}then
new TextField( enableInteractiveSelection: false, // will disable paste operation focusNode: new AlwaysDisabledFocusNode(), ... ...)Update:TextField now has enabled property. Where you can just disable the TextField like
new TextField( enabled: false, ... ...)Note: This will also disable icon associated with text input.
