Add to EditText the following:

android:focusable="false"

This will prevent EditText from getting focus , not allowing you to type in it.

Alternatively use a TextView instead of EditText.

For TextView to look like an EditText use:

style="@android:style/Widget.EditText"

To avoid editing in EditText set KeyListener to null

edtData.setKeyListener(null);
