I tried everything that I could to remove the copy and past, long touch and the blue selectors.
I followed the all suggestion on this thread:
EditText: Disable Paste/Replace menu pop-up on Text Selection Handler click event
However, it only works when my phone screen is in portraid mode.. if I rotate the screen in landscape mode then I still see the text selections, long press, etc.. I wanna rid of these blue cursors and copy and past functionality.
I notice in landscape, the onTouch methods are not called.. seems to be an independent object and does not respect the layout and class definitions.
