setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback not work with my editText :(

On my editText, when i do setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new Callback() {}) then the Callback is never called :( i think everything on the edittext is well configured, i do
settextIsSelectable(true);
setfocusable(true);
setfocusableInTouchMode(true);
setlongClickable(true);
What in my editText can forbid the callback ? how to build custom context menu for my edittext ?
This is my code :
this.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new Callback() {
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
Log.e("onPrepareActionMode","onPrepareActionMode");
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
Log.e("onCreateActionMode","onCreateActionMode");
return true;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
Log.e("onDestroyActionMode","onDestroyActionMode");
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
Log.e("onActionItemClicked","onActionItemClicked");
return true;
}
});

disable button click of all listview item when choice_mode is on

Am using CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL for a ListView and it is working fine. problem is my ListView row item contains 2 buttons. And i want this all row buttons set to be disable when i have some rows checked.How to achieve this?
listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE_MODAL);
listView.setMultiChoiceModeListener(new AbsListView.MultiChoiceModeListener() {
#Override
public void onItemCheckedStateChanged(ActionMode mode, int position, long id, boolean checked) {
final int checkedCount = studentListView.getCheckedItemCount();
mode.setTitle(checkedCount + " selected");
adapter.toggleSelection(position);
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
SparseBooleanArray selected;
switch (item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.menu_item1:
mode.finish();
return true;
case R.id.menu_item2:
mode.finish();
return true;
case R.id.menu_item3:
mode.finish();
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
mode.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.multiselectmenu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
adapter.removeSelection();
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
});

// Add one boolean in your model class and check same condition in adapter
raw_button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (<booleanvar==true>) {
//
}
}
});

Check when have some rows checked.
Call buton.setEnabled(false) for button you want to disable.

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) {
}
});
}
}

android edittext contextmenu

In edittext long press created contextmenu. How to remove the contextmenu?
I tried this:
et.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
return true;
}
});
et.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode actionMode,
MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode actionMode) {
}
});
But then I can not select text.

I'm not sure that you can remove the menu altogether, but you can call menu.clear() in onPrepareActionMode and this will remove all the menu items from the menu. You'll have to remove the onLongClickListener in order to see the handles again as well.

You can create your own class extending EditText and override the performLongClick() method, that should work as expected
class MyET extends EditText{
public MyET(Context context) {
super(context);
}
#Override
public boolean performLongClick() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return true;
}
}

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;
}
});
