I have an requirement where EditText
doesn't allow paste but it should allow copy.
I tried setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback
but it disable copy option.
EditText etxt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
etxt.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;
}
});
If you are using API level 11 or above use this
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;
}
});
I done my self..credit goes to Android intercept paste\copy\cut on editText
I just changed onTextContextMenuItem() based on my requirement..
@Override
public boolean onTextContextMenuItem(int id) {
// Do your thing:
//boolean consumed = super.onTextContextMenuItem(id); // Change1
// React:
switch (id){
case android.R.id.cut:
onTextCut();
break;
case android.R.id.paste:
onTextPaste();
return false; //Change2
//break;
case android.R.id.copy:
onTextCopy();
}
return true; // Change3
}
If you want to disable only the paste option, I think it is better to remove the paste context menu
item, this is a util method I implemented in my apps to achieve that (I also removed cut item)
public static void toggleContextMenuType(EditText editText) {
if (editText.getCustomSelectionActionModeCallback() == null) {
editText.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
@Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
menu.removeItem(16908322);
menu.removeItem(16908320);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
@Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
});
}else{
editText.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(null);
}
}
