Use this

Button submit, next;
submit= (Button) findViewById(R.id.submit);
next= (Button) findViewById(R.id.next);    
next.setEnabled(false);

submit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
              @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                      next.setEnabled(true);

                }

        });

Try to hide by using next.setVisibility(View.GONE); – Syed Mar 15 '18 at 06:33

You can use Clickable property as false and change it after clicking submit button.

Button submitButton, nextButton;
boolean b = false;

submitButton= findViewById(R.id.submitButton);
nextButton  =  findViewById(R.id.nextButton)

nextButton.setClickable(false);


submitButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
              @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {

                   nextButton.setClickable(true);

                }

        });

how can I make 2 buttons name (submit) and (next page) :- using xml create two buttons

<Button
            android:id="@+id/next_button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Next"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:textAllCaps="false"/>

But make the (nextpage) button unclickable :- In your MainActivity.java with

Button next =(Button) findViewById(R.id.next_button);
next.setEnabled(false);

Then make it clickable after the (submit) button was clicked :-

btn_Submit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                next.setEnabled(true);
            }
        });

Hope this helps. No question is a bad question. Cheeers! Reply if any doubts.
