Hi, I am using a WebView to display some text. I want to allow the users to be able to select a word (or even a character) and take some action on it (for example, look up the dictionary).
So far, I have only found the following code that can enable text selection in a WebView: KeyEvent shiftPressEvent = new KeyEvent(0,0,KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN,KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SHIFT_LEFT,0,0); shiftPressEvent.dispatch(myWebView); The above code will trigger the text selection mode in a WebView and copy the selected text automatically into the clipboard. However, I have no idea how I can act on the selected text when it is copied into the clipboard. Any ideas on how I can detect that some text is copied into the clipboard and act on it (without user interaction)? If not, are there any other ways that I can allow users to select a character/word in the WebView and perform some operation on it? Thank you for your ideas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
