Android: How would you make Buttons un-clickable for some period ?

Question

I've got some Buttons that I want to make un-clickable (but still appear on the screen) until another process (thread) has finished its work ? How would you do this ?

The goal is to avoid my users to keep clicking on this button and so, launching a new thread every time they click on it ...

Thanks for your help.

1. Don't use Threads unless you really have to. Use AsyncTask instead.
2. Use setEnabled on your Button in onPreExecute and onPostExecute.
