Menu
So the user won't be able to copy/ paste into the Edit fields. OnLongClickListener mOnLongClickListener = new OnLongClickListener() { @Override public boolean onLongClick(View v) { // prevent context menu from being popped up, so that user // cannot copy/paste from/into any EditText fields. return true; } };
You can do it either by opening the Gboard app or by long-pressing the comma and tapping the Settings icon. In Settings, click on the Clipboard option. Here, turn off the toggle for Clipboard.
In your xml code set focusable="false" , android:clickable="false" and android:cursorVisible="false" and this will make your EditText treat like non editable.
One of these is an integrated clipboard manager. Like Gboard and the Samsung Keyboard, just tap the arrow icon in the top-left corner of your keyboard, and you'll see the Clipboard icon, among others. Tap it to access blocks of text you've copied recently, then you can paste them with one tap.
Best method is to use:
etUsername.setLongClickable(false);
If you are using API level 11 or above then you can stop copy,paste,cut and custom context menus from appearing by.
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).
You can do this by disabling the long press of the EditText
To implement it, just add the following line in the xml -
android:longClickable="false"
I am able to disable copy-and-paste functionality with the following:
textField.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) {
}
});
textField.setLongClickable(false);
textField.setTextIsSelectable(false);
Hope it works for you ;-)
