Select and copy text in a TextView Android

Question

I know there is another question just like this one but still haven't answer working for me.

I have a TextView in my fragment with informations inside.It's a long textview with a scrolling bar. I want to copy paste some information but can't select and copy.

There is my TextView :

<TextView
            android:id="@+id/tv_observ_client"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="40dp"
            android:textIsSelectable="true"
            android:layout_marginEnd="5dp"
            android:textColor="@android:color/black"
            android:scrollbars="vertical"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:focusable="true"
            android:longClickable="true"
            android:text="Info pratiques " />

I'm able to copy all the TextView's but I only want some information.

Thank's

EDIT

This is all the layout, it may help :

This textview is in a fragment, this fragment is handle by a viewpager adapter with differents tabs, I wonder if this case can't give the focusable(and selectable) to the textview because of the swipe action. Hope it's will help

@RakeshKumar Hi, i am trying but i just can't select my text — NeoKerd, Jan 21 '20 at 13:27
in my code i just set text is selectable because i think this it's a problem about xml, i just want to select part of my text view ( like we do in browser when we want to copy) and next copy in the phone's keyboard. this is the java code : tv_observation=view.findViewById(R.id.tv_observ_client); tv_observation.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod()); tv_observation.setTextIsSelectable(true); — NeoKerd, Jan 21 '20 at 13:34
I am able to select part of the text through your xml layout. There is no problem for me. — seyfullah.bilgin, Jan 21 '20 at 14:26

Try this:

android:textIsSelectable.

i.e., android:textIsSelectable="true"
