I have a WebView and I want user to be able to select text and then display a QuickAction so that they can choose the action he will perform on that text he just selected.

The problem I have is that I can't find a way to get text selected before the user clicks on Copy on the Action Bar.

Example of text selection with Action Bar

I want to popup the QuickAction as soon as TouchUp event is fired and I don't want to have them to select Copy on the Action Bar before that.

Any idea on how to implement this behaviour?

I'm developping on Android 3.1 SDK and using android.content.ClipboardManager.
