Have BOTH an onLongPress menu and select-copy text on aTextview item?

My App contains a RecyclerView with TextView items. On each TextView item I have defined a few functionalities, like sharing the text to another App.
How can I combine both onLongPress or onCreateContextMenu with (enabling) select-and-copy text? It is OK to enable the select-and-copy text from the context menu.
Of course I could use the for selecting text. But that conflicts with the long press (context) menu on the textview item.
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=""
android:id="#+id/pwTextView"
android:enabled="true"
android:textIsSelectable="true" <== mandatory
android:focusable="true" <== optionally
android:longClickable="true" /> <== optionally
Of course I would like to have the context menu back after select-copying the text.
Is this functionality realistic? Yes. For the app this is essential. I have seen it in other apps as well ;-)

The below solution helps me for most situations.
I want text to be either selectable (for copy and paste) or want other gestures to work.
Initially setting the gestures on the text field:
Set textIsSelectable to false, either in the layout file or programmatically.
Set an onTouchListener on the textview with your Gestures.
Allow one of the gestures to switch to textSelection mode. See below.
How to set textSelection programmatically?
Set the textIsSelectable, focusable, longPressable to true
Set the onTouchListener to null.
Install a clickListener on the textview to allow you switch back to the original TouchListener.
1) Install your GestureHandler:
// Create your Touch Listener
onTouchListener = new OnSwipeTouchListener(mCtx, this);
view.setOnTouchListener( onTouchListener);
2) Switch to textselction modus:
// Create your popup with an menu option to switch to textselection modus:
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(mCtx, view);
popup.inflate(R.menu.text_options_menu);
popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case ...
case R.id.text_textisselectable:
view.setOnTouchListener(null);
((TextView)view).setTextIsSelectable( true);
((TextView)view).setFocusable( true);
((TextView)view).setLongClickable( true);
// Install a click listener to switch back to the previous Touch Listener
((TextView)view).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
PopupMenu popupx = new PopupMenu(mCtx, view);
popupx.inflate(R.menu.selecttext_back_menu);
popupx.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
((TextView)view).setTextIsSelectable( false);
((TextView)view).setFocusable( false);
((TextView)view).setLongClickable( false);
view.setOnTouchListener(onTouchListener);
return true;
}});
popupx.show();
}
});
break;

How to change a title of popupmenu

I have a problem with changing of popupmenu title.
My goal is that there is a join menu in popupmenu list.
After user join the app by using the popupmenu button , I want to change the "join" title to "User profile".
But I don't know how to change the title of popupmenu.
If there has a solution, let me know how to change.
Here is the code
<item android:id="#+id/menu6"
android:title="join"/>
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.btn_menu://popupbutton
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(getApplicationContext(), v);
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_menu, popup.getMenu());
popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(popupClick);
popup.show();
}
PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener popupClick = new PopupMenu.OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem menuitem) {
switch (menuitem.getItemId()) {
case R.id.menu6: // here is a code of join
break;
}

You can follow this answer
Change PopupMenu items' title programatically
.
First create a boolean variable
private boolean menu6;
Create a menu object to check which popup item is clicked
Menu menuOpts = popup.getMenu();
if (menu6) {
menuOpts.getItem(1).setTitle("User profile");
}
Modify onMenuItemClick to this
switch (menuitem.getItemId()) {
case R.id.menu6: // here is a code of join
menu6 = true
break;
}

Show popup menu when action bar item is clicked

How to add a menu popup when an action bar item is clicked (see screenshot)? I want the menu item to show an icon.
tHings I have tried:
Setting actionProvider (support lib v7) for the action bar item. In the actionProvider, return null for onCreateActionView. In onPrepareSubMenu, populate the submenu. This works on Android 2.x but not Android 4.0, and for Android 2.x, there is no icon.
In the actionProvider, create a imageview and on clicking, shows a PopupMenu, but popup menu has no icon, when I have specifically used setIcon to show it.
I don't understand why PopupMenu does not show any icon. I followed the "official" code as closely as possible but to no avail.

Please help!
Thanks!

Use popUpMenu ->>> Follow>
res/menu/horario.xml
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/menu_MudaDia"
android:titleCondensed="Mudar Dia"
android:title="Mudar Dia"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_menu_popup"
android:showAsAction="always">
</item>
activity.class
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
menu.clear();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.horario, menu);
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.menu_MudaDia:
View vItem = getActivity().findViewById(R.id.menu_MudaDia);
PopupMenu popMenu = new PopupMenu(getActivity(), vItem);
for (int i = 0; i < diaSemana.length; i++)
{
popMenu.getMenu().add(0, i, i, diaSemana[i]);
}
popMenu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
DIA = diaSemana[item.getItemId()];
atualizaGUI();
return true;
}
});
popMenu.show();
break;
default:
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

You can try creating a layout with the ImageView and TextView. Inflate that layout inside a PopUpWindow (refer : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/PopupWindow.html).
Use the showAsDropDown(View actionBarIcon) method to show the menu on your actionbar icon click.

I use support library v7 and works well.
- use ActionProvider
I use custom ActionProvider and it works well at 2.x and 4.x ,
code in onPrepareSubMenu
subMenu.clear();
// labels contain list item text.
int len = labels.length;
for(int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
subMenu.add(0, labels[i], i, labels[i])
.setIcon(icons[i])
.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new MineMenuItemClickListener());
}
super.onPrepareSubMenu(subMenu);
- about PopupMenu
PopupMenu don't show icon as default, but you can do your own PopupMenu and set icon display.
Like this man does CustomPopupMenu
The only modify is add mPopup.setForceShowIcon(true);

Android Options Menu Without ActionBar?

what I'm looking for is to make an options menu but without the ActionBar. In the Google music app I saw that they have a options menu sort of thing with no action bar. Below is a picture of what I was talking about in the Google music app.
Thank you in advance! :)

That's just a simple popop. You can do that on any view. Throw an icon on a view, like the overflow menu icone and set a click listener on it.
This example is a list of devices (smartphones) in a catalog. I populate the tag with an object so I know which one the user clicks on.
public void showDeviceMenu(View v) {
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu(this, v);
popup.inflate(R.menu.cart_device_menu);
DeviceTag tag = (DeviceTag) v.getTag();
final String groupId = tag.groupId;
final String sku = tag.sku;
final String productId = tag.productId;
SpannableStringBuilder text = new SpannableStringBuilder(tag.name);
text.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 0, text.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
popup.getMenu().findItem(R.id.menu_name).setTitle(text);
invalidateOptionsMenu();
popup.setOnMenuItemClickListener(new OnMenuItemClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMenuItemClick(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.duplicate_device:
duplicateDevice(sku, productId);
return true;
case R.id.update_device:
updateWirelessItemInCart(sku,groupId);
return true;
case R.id.delete_device:
removeItemFromCart(groupId);
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
});
popup.show();
}

Android ActionBar options long click event

Android Can anyone know about Actionbar item options long click , I want to show text on LongClick on actionbar menu option like a hint on long press of actionBar long press

Do you want to capture long press on menu item on action bar? As for me, after finding 2,3 hour, I found this solution. This is perfectly work for me.
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(final Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
final View v = findViewById(R.id.action_settings);
if (v != null) {
v.setOnLongClickListener(new CustomLongOnClickListener());
}
}
});
return true;
}

For me, the following approach works fine for newer Android versions - I tested it with Android 4.2 and Android 5.0.1.
The idea is that I replace the action icon view by a custom view. Here, I have to handle the single click, and I can handle the long click.
If I want the appearance to be exactly like normal action bar icons, the following works.
First, create a layout containing just an ImageButton with your icon.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ImageButton xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/myButton"
style="?android:attr/actionButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="#layout/text_view_initializing"
android:src="#drawable/ic_action_plus" />
Then put this ImageButton into the action bar and attach listeners to it.
MenuItem myItem = menu.findItem(R.id.my_action);
myItem.setActionView(R.layout.my_image_button);
myItem.getActionView().setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(final View v) {
// here, I have to put the stuff that normally goes in onOptionItemSelected
}
});
myItem.getActionView().setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(final View v) {
// here, I put the long click stuff
}
});
Important remark: this will only work if the item appears in the action bar. So, whatever you want to do on long click will not be accessible in this way if the option appears in the menu dropdown.

user1206890, you do not need listen long click event. If you want show action hint, will be sufficient set title in menu add. Checked on 2.3 and 4.0.

If you create your own action view via android:actionLayout, you are welcome to set up listeners on your own widgets for long-click events. You do not have access to widgets in the action bar that you do not create yourself.

I think "findViewById" is the easiest way to find.
Just do
View action_example = findViewById(R.id.action_example);
if(action_example!=null)action_example.setOnLongClickListener(
new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "action_example", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
}
);

This is the code of function that works with me thanks to #YeeKhin
change "main" to your menu name and "action_refresh" to your action name and "Activity" to your activity name
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
final View v = findViewById(R.id.action_refresh);
if (v != null) {
v.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(Activity.this,"Long Press!!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return false;
}
});
}
}
});
return true;
}
