Assume I have a addon. In that setting

<setting label="Test" type="text" id="test" default="Testing" />


Like this have. I want this to prevent from editing by user. Can I hide it? Or lock it?

I need that value to get using addon so I need that setting
Why make it a setting if you don't want it set by the user?

Hello,

I remember seeing the option here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_settings.

I think, you simply set the attribute visible to false

i.e. <setting label="Test" type="text" id="test" default="Testing" visible = false/> .

This should allow you to preset a value but hide the setting option itself from a user i think.
