How to avoid cut/copy/paste in smart phone after rotation port to land on Android4.X?

Question

I am working on to avoid cut/copy/paste in smart phone (for tablet its fine). Its fine in port mode but coming in land mode EditText shows a Button Next. after selecting the text, next button converts into Edit Button which has copy,cut and paste option.

So is there any way to disable cut/copy after rotation when edit button appears.

i am following this link. How to disable copy/paste from/to EditText

Answer 1

I think you can use this:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:imeOptions

With the flag:

flagNoAccessoryAction

Used in conjunction with a custom action, this indicates that the action should not be available as an accessory button when the input method is full-screen. Note that by setting this flag, there can be cases where the action is simply never available to the user. Setting this generally means that you think showing text being edited is more important than the action you have supplied. Corresponds to IME_FLAG_NO_ACCESSORY_ACTION.

Thanks for answer. i have tested this but according to my functionality Next button should be there .after using this nothing is there only text,. – Displant

By having the button there I think you can't stop copy paste, as it is replaced by those functionalities as soon as you select text.. – Epiboly

This is default behavior of jelly bean .we want next button but do not want this Next button change to Edit after select the text. – Displant

Answer 2

I would insist you to disable the long click on the EditText as that Edit button appears when you long press on the selected text in the EditText.

et_text.setLongClickable(false);

Also, you can clear the ClipboardManager, so that if you already have something that is already copied to ClipBoard will be cleared using,

ClipboardManager manager = (ClipboardManager) 
                                 getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
manager.setText("");

thanks for reply .i think ClipboardManger is deprecated in 3.2 or greater version. – Displant

Deprecated class is import android.text.ClipboardManager but you can use import android.content.ClipboardManager, also setting long click false should work on EditText. – Gaussmeter

No longclick not working ,i have tested again and again..i am using 4.0.3 version and using google nexus – Displant

edittext.setLongClickable(false); ClipboardManager maner = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); maner.setText("");..code – Displant

Answer 3

Try this ..

your_edit_text.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;
    }
});

Try using these two lines. It may help you:

 EditText.setFocusable(false);
 EditText.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);

@Cobra - set EditText.setEditable(false); in your code, or you set this property in your xml as well. this property done well, but if any case this won't work ..set setFocusable also false.. this solution work for me..
