Just Set "textIsSelectable" on the TextView to true

    <TextView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Detail Text"
                android:id="@+id/txtBody"
                android:background="@android:color/white"
                android:gravity="right"
                android:textColor="@android:color/black"
                android:textSize="16sp"
                android:padding="5dp"
                android:enabled="true"
                android:textIsSelectable="true"/>

just add this to your TextView xml file :

android:textIsSelectable="true"

In your onClickListener for the TextView: 

ClipboardManager clipboard =
    (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); 
clipboard.setText(yourTextView.getText());

ed : Answer to the question in comments :

  yourTextView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO: add your code here

        }
    });

    but how to get a portion of text from that textview – daffodils Oct 20 '11 at 08:16
  • You have to make your TextView Spannable, refer [to this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2120035/highlight-text-in-textview-or-webview) or better [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6309093/how-to-allow-the-user-to-select-a-text-range-in-a-textview-similar-to-edittext/7035836#7035836) – Reno Oct 20 '11 at 08:20
