Is there a way to allow the user to select / copy text in a TextView? I need the same functionality of EditText where you can long-press the control and get the popup options of select all / copy, but I need the control to look like a TextView.
Tried a few things like making an EditText use the editable="none" option or inputType="none", but those still retain the framed background of an EditText, which I don't want,
Thanks

This is 99% there, all I'd want is for the selection hilight to be visible (the orange stuff). Other than that it's good, could live with this though:
<EditText android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:editable="false" style="?android:attr/textViewStyle" android:textColor="@color/white" android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium" android:cursorVisible="false" android:background="@null" />
I guess it's being caused because of cursorVisible="false" but without that the cursor is present even without any selection being made.
android:textIsSelectable works (at least in ICS - I haven't yet checked in earlier versions)
<TextView android:id="@+id/deviceIdTV" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textIsSelectable="true" android:text="" />
