I have implemented selectable text in android via
android:textIsSelectable="true"
What I now need to do is make the menu disappear when there is touch anywhere other than the text/menu/cursors. How do I achieve this?

Menu after selecting text should disappear by default after clicking at any point at the screen. – iknow Jul 28 '20 at 10:05

It doesn't. It just stays there unless i click the back button – Kapil Jul 28 '20 at 15:51

@iknow Yeah, on my phone, it does not go away either (TextView, android:textIsSelectable="true"). – Damn Vegetables Jun 09 '21 at 03:09

Firstly you can follow this link to hide software keyboard/do action after click outside edittext(or any view type you want to achieve Handle outside click
For example
fun setupUI(view: View, action: () -> Unit) {
// Set up touch listener for non-text box views to hide keyboard.
if (view !is EditText && view !is AppCompatEditText) {
view.setOnTouchListener { _, _ ->
action.invoke()
false
}
}
//If a layout container, iterate over children and seed recursion.
if (view is ViewGroup) {
for (i in 0 until view.childCount) {
val innerView: View = view.getChildAt(i)
setupUI(innerView, action)
}
}
}
Then in your action clear your rootview focus to dismiss text copy menu: rootView.clearFocus()

Seems like that what the OP has asked about was "TextView", not "EditText", which allows text selection by default. – Damn Vegetables Jun 09 '21 at 03:08
