How to disable all nested children of linear layout in android?

Question

In android if I have a linear layout object, and it has a bunch of stuff inside it like textviews, more linear layouts which contain more linear layouts. How can you just disable (.setEnabled(false);) everything in that given linear layout?

Thanks

I want to use the setEnabled and set it to false. Which makes the control unusable and grayed out. — omega, Aug 03 '13 at 20:58
You can create a `newLinearLayout`, store `youcurrentLinearLayout` in it, then delete `youcurrentLinearLayout` childs with the code below. — Hossam Oukli, Aug 03 '13 at 21:04

Something like that:

for(int i = 0; i < ((LinearLayout) YourLinearLayout).getChildCount(); i++){
  ((View)((LinearLayout) YourLinearLayout).getChildAt(i)).setEnabled(false);
}

But this removes the view from the screen, I want to use `.setEnabled(false)` method, so it makes it unusable and grayed out. – omega Aug 03 '13 at 21:01
