How to Disable Only Cut option From EditText? - android

i have two EditText for UserName and Password. first UserName EditText will be Visible.it will check Valid UserName.Then, Password EditText will be visible. i want user to copy the username but don't want to cut.
how to disable the Cut Option.
But below code Disable all the Option.
Code :
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode actionMode, MenuItem menuItem) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode actionMode) {
}
});

First set a customSelectionActionModeCallback.
You could identify the cut option by its id: android.R.id.cut
So your code in the onCreateActionMode from the ActionMode.Callback would look like this:
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(android.R.id.cut);
if (menuItem != null) {
menuItem.setVisible(false);
}
return true;
}
Or you could even remove it by using menu.removeItem(android.R.id.cut).
Also null-check for menu.findItem(android.R.id.cut) because it might return null when calling setVisible on it.

How to disable the,Paste,selectALL for the editText view

I have an login fragment. For password (Edittext), I need to disable the Paste and select ALL options.
I tried setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback and "set longClickable " but they are not working.
Any suggestions Thanks in advance
edittext.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
});
Returning false from onCreateActionMode(ActionMode, Menu) will prevent the action mode from being started(Select All, Cut, Copy and Paste actions).
This will definitely work
All you need to do is add mode.finish() in onCreateActionMode()
mEntryText.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) { return false; }
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) { }
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
/* This is done to solve the issue of SELECT ALL PASTE etc., showing up.
mode.finish() should not be called at this point. If called, it will throw
this exception "E/DecorView[]: Destroying unexpected ActionMode instance of TYPE_FLOATING;
com.android.internal.view.FloatingActionMode#2e022bc was not the current floating action mode! Expected null"
This makes that class not to execute the rest of the code and hence the FloatingAction is never created!
I wish the the author of FloatingActionMode class gave me a method to just stop showing it. menu.clear()
is supposed to do it, but doesn't do.
*/
mode.finish(); // menu.close(); menu.clear();
return false;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) { return false; }
});

How to disable copy paste in android

I am working in xamarin forms to create an app for android. I want to disable the copy/paste functionality of textbox in android. I used the following line to disable it
Control.LongClickable = false;
But its working only in case of if user press the text for long time. But if user click multiple times on text, he becomes able to copy paste. How I can completely disable the copy paste functionality of textbox?
In eclipse this can be used, Just check will it be helpful.
textView.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
});
// after onCreateView and findById you you_editText view;
you_editText.CustomSelectionActionModeCallback = new CopyPasteDisabler();
class CopyPasteDisabler : Java.Lang.Object, Android.Views.ActionMode.ICallback
{
public bool OnActionItemClicked(Android.Views.ActionMode mode, IMenuItem item) => false;
public bool OnCreateActionMode(Android.Views.ActionMode mode, IMenu menu) => false;
public void OnDestroyActionMode(Android.Views.ActionMode mode) {}
public bool OnPrepareActionMode(Android.Views.ActionMode mode, IMenu menu) => false;
}

How to disable copy/paste from/to SearchView

I would like to disable copy/paste actions when I use the SearchView in Toolbar.
Actually I don't want to have the native copy/past bar which appears on top.
You can use this method:
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)
private void disableSearchViewActionMode(SearchView searchView) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
((EditText) searchView.findViewById(R.id.search_src_text)).setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
});
}
}

how to disable paste option in android EditText

I have a requirement where EditText doesn't allow paste but it should allow copy.
I tried setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback but it disables the copy option.
EditText etxt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
etxt.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new Callback() {
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
});
I did it myself..credit goes to Android intercept paste\copy\cut on editText
I just changed onTextContextMenuItem() based on my requirement..
#Override
public boolean onTextContextMenuItem(int id) {
// Do your thing:
//boolean consumed = super.onTextContextMenuItem(id); // Change1
// React:
switch (id){
case android.R.id.cut:
onTextCut();
break;
case android.R.id.paste:
onTextPaste();
return false; //Change2
//break;
case android.R.id.copy:
onTextCopy();
}
return true; // Change3
}
If you are using API level 11 or above use this
edittext.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new Callback() {
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
});
If you want to disable only the paste option, I think it is better to remove the paste context menu item, this is a util method I implemented in my apps to achieve that (I also removed cut item)
public static void toggleContextMenuType(EditText editText) {
if (editText.getCustomSelectionActionModeCallback() == null) {
editText.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
menu.removeItem(16908322);
menu.removeItem(16908320);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
});
}else{
editText.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(null);
}
}

Android EditText without QuickAction

My problem is, when I select some text in an EditText (version 4.0.3), a QuickAction (showing several options like cut, copy, paste) will appear near the selected text. I Don't need this popup, so how can I turn it off or something like that? Thanks
edittext.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new Callback() {
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) { return false; }
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) { }
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) { return false; } public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) { return false; } });
you can add callback for your editText like this :
YOUR_EDITTEXT_OBJECT.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new Callback() {
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
});
