How to disable All buttons in a layout - Android

Unfortunately there is not an elegant way to do this (e.g. one line of simple code). However below is a method that I defined for myself that does the job perfectly:

public void disableButtons(Layout layout) {

    // Get all touchable views
    ArrayList<View> layoutButtons = layout.getTouchables();

    // loop through them, if they are instances of Button, disable them.
    for(View v : layoutButtons){
        if( v instanceof Button ) {
            ((Button)v).setEnabled(false);
        }
    }
}

So the trick is to retrieve all touchables into an ArrayList, then loop through them while check if it is an instance of the Button class, if it is, disable it!
