Is it possible to highlight part of a text and copy in Android? It's kinda like how in iPhone, when you hold a text for sometime, the box will show up and you can copy then paste that somewhere?

Is there a Java library for colourings text in an EditText? Or is this just accomplished with Regex? I looked into Google Prettify but that seems to be for static text.

I'm a recent iPhone convert -- picked up a Samsung Captivate last week and have been really enjoying it, though I think I may get a refund and switch to the DroidX due to various issues I have with the Captivate.
Anywho, one pressing issue I haven't been able to find a solution to is regarding email.
1. How do I copy text from an email? I know if I first reply to an email then I can copy text, but is there a way to do so without having to first hitting the reply button?
2. How do I move emails from one folder to the next?
I'm currently just using the stock email client that came on my Captivate, are there others that are more powerful (not sure you can really call it 'powerful' to be able to copy text and move emails around).
I may be missing something obvious, but is there a way to select and copy text from within an email? For example I just got a message sent to my gmail account with a friends new home address, but while I can read the email obviously, scrolling through the message I cant actually select any text within it to copy out his address and then paste it into my contacts.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" set on my ListView, which fixed this issue in one of my other lists in another activity, but it's not helping in this other list. I'm using the Light theme in my app, if that matters. I can't figure out what's going on. Long press brings up the context menu just fine, I just don't get the nice highlight of the row while pressing it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView set up in single-choice mode like this:
<ListView android:id="@id/android:list"android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="#ff444444" android:layout_weight="1"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" android:choiceMode="singleChoice" android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:headerDividersEnabled="true"/>
When I press my finger on a choice, the selection changes from white text on light gray to black text on orange. But as soon as I lift my finger, the selection reverts to the original state. I'd like that chosen row to remain in the black-text-on-orange mode when I lift my finger so that the user knows what was selected in the list (my onClickListener has captured the selected row, of course). Is there a way I can tell the ListView that I want this behavior or something similar so the user knows what item has been selected?
I'm trying to customize my buttons in my view a bit and give them my own look. Whenever I set a picture as a background so that the button looks different though, I seem to lose my cursor. I can use my trackball to go through the items still but when I come to one of my custom buttons the cursor does not show. I have the same problem with some TextViews that I made clickable.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to disable the highlighting of objects in a GridView in Android 2.2. I did find another article saying that I should set the selector to a transparent ColorDrawable, but the views in my GridView are still dimmed when I select them. I'm just using the GridView to display static objects (right now it's text, but I plan on switching it to simple images). None of these objects will be selected. Would it be better to just use a basic view and draw my images manually with quartz?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen viewing Web pages either in the built-in Web browser or in a WebView canvas, focusable items get the orange highlight ring as you navigate the page with the D-pad/trackball. A design team I am working with wishes to create some Web content, specifically for Android, where they handle their own focus highlighting via Javascript/CSS and wish to disable the built-in Android focus highlighting. In this case, the content is being viewed through a WebView, so I have some measure of control. I see some posts describing how to use ColorStateList, <selector>, and android:background to affect this sort of change, for a single View. How would one go about affecting this change for the contents of a WebView?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView component and its items are highlighted orange when clicked or selected with the trackball, as you would expect as this is the default behavior. Some of my list items get colored with setBackgroundColor(). These colored items seem to hide the orange highlighting when clicked or selected. How can I color some of my items like this and still inherit this highlighting behavior?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen components like TextViews got focus we can focus them using highlighting the border of the component. Like that how can we highlight the border of a spinner object when it got focus? You can highlight borders of each and every item in the spinner at the time of selection. What I need is to highlight the border of spinner object when it got focus initially. I went through xml attributes and couldn't find matching one. Let me know if u have any clue to do this.

View 4 Replies View RelatedLast night I was trying to send a friend anothers friends mobile number via a text message. I assumed that there would be an easy way to copy the number from my contacts and paste it into a text message. However I couldn't work it out and had to go down the traditional route of writing it on a piece of paper then sending the text! Hardly a good advert for the new 'uberphone' that the desire is billed as! So, is there a way to do it?

I loaded a new custom ICS rom on my Samsung Galaxy sIII i747 and noticed that every time I tried to copy text in the Chrome Browser address bar, Chrome would force close. I am posting in general since this fix may work for any ICS running on any device.
The original thread that contains the fix is here: (unable to post links at this time since I am a new user)
Summary:
Fix requires root.
1. boot recovery (CWM) > wipe cache
2. reboot phone > Root Explorer/ES File Browser > delete /data/clipboard/* (everything in this directory)
3. reboot recovery again > advanced > fix permissions
4. reboot phone > Copy/Paste should now word (worked for me)
