you can use a Style.xml if you want to make it highlight at the pressed state . Is that what you want? — Charuක, Jan 24 '17 at 03:20

If you want to highlight text inside editText Insted of tv2.performLongClick() you can simply use setSelectAllOnFocus(true)

Set the TextView so that when it takes focus, all the text is selected.

editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            editText.setSelectAllOnFocus(true);
            if (!hasFocus) {
             // noFocous
            }
        }
    });

you can also set this option in xml: `android:selectAllOnFocus="true"` – Julius Naeumann Jun 10 '22 at 10:50
