I'm using PopupWindow to get some data from users. Surprisingly, I'm unable to select text inside the EditText layout which is the requirement, as I want user to be able to copy(from anywhere) and paste here. I've explicitly used android:textIsSelectable="true" for my EditText. Here are the attributes I'm using for EditText.

       <EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="48dp"
        android:id="@+id/emailEdit"
        android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
        android:textIsSelectable="true"
        android:drawableLeft="@drawable/email"
        android:drawablePadding="16dp"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/actionable_horizontal_margin"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:hint="Email"
        />

I'm also setting popup.setFocusable(true). Is there something else that needs to be done?

My copy paste is working fine for other EditTexts in activities and fragments.

P.S. I don't want to use custom Clipboard actions.

Have you got any solution? – Vishal Patoliya ツ May 24 '19 at 12:39
Still no solution for that? I can barely imagine that Android is unable to do that without major modification or an own implementation of a copy/paste menu. – BenjyTec May 02 '20 at 09:24
