android:textIsSelectable="true" for TextView inside Listview does not work

Question

I have the problem with TextView inside ListView below.

In listview, I have a TextView and I have set

android:textIsSelectable="true"

But, when I long click on TextView, I see log print

TextView: TextView does not support text selection. Action mode cancelled.

So I can not use Copy and Paste function for TextView.

If you have any idea to resolve this issue, please give some hint to fix it.

Thanks so much

please check you minimum SDK level in manifest, it should be 11 or above. — Jignesh Ansodariya, Mar 21 '16 at 04:32
JigneshAnsodariya : My minSdkVersion is 14 @nandkishormewara : I set android:focusable="false" or android:focusableInTouchMode="false" in my xml. But It does not work. Note : It only happen for TextView inside ListView — Khoa Nguyễn, Mar 21 '16 at 04:47

Just try this...

  ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.yourList);    
    list.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {
    public void onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> a, View v, int position,long id) {
                    TextView yourFirstTextView = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.yourFirstTextViewId);                    
                    copyTextToClipboard(yourFirstTextView);                   

    public void copyTextToClipboard(TextView txtView){
         int sdk = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
         if(sdk < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
             android.text.ClipboardManager clipboard = (android.text.ClipboardManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
             clipboard.setText(txtView.getText().toString());
         } else {
             android.content.ClipboardManager clipboard = (android.content.ClipboardManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); 
             android.content.ClipData clip = android.content.ClipData.newPlainText("text label",txtView.getText().toString());
             clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip);
         }
    }

May it work.

Thanks @SJ143 : I don't want to copy all text, I only the part of text by select text — Khoa Nguyễn, Mar 21 '16 at 05:37
In list.setOnItemLongClickListener, try to add textView.setTextIsSelectable(true); and remove it from xml and instead use: android:inputType="textMultiLine" — , Mar 21 '16 at 05:59
