Android: How to enable my button back if EditText is not empty?

Question

I have 2 EditTexts; 01 and 02. My button will be disabled once the activity is started and when these two EditText contain text, the button has to be enabled again. However my button is always disabled and can't enable it using button.setEnabled(true);.

Can anyone help me with this?

summit.setEnabled(false);

buttonEnable();

public void buttonEnable(){
    if (feedback.length()>0 && email.length()>0){
        summit.setEnabled(true);
    }else{
        summit.setEnabled(false);
    }
}

You're correct about needing a TextWatcher. The afterTextChanged(Editable) method is the one you're interested in for something like this. Call your buttonEnable() method from it, and add the TextWatcher to any applicable text fields. (Looks like feedback and email from your sample.)
