Hi Engale,
I've included an updated version of your code.

The main changes are ...

  --  Initially set the edittext area to disabled with a gray background,
and have the button read "Edit".

  -- When the button is pressed
  --   if it says "Edit" then it means that the user wants to go INTO edit
mode
  --       so I clear the edit field, set the field to enabled, set the
color to white, change the button to say "Ok", and move the focus to the
edit field.
  --   if it says "Ok" then it means that the user wants to go OUTOF edit
mode
  --       so I save the entered text, set the field to disabled, set the
color to gray and change the button to say "Edit"
  --
