Not sure if this is really an Android bug because it is so easy to repro:

1. Mark some text in a TextView
2. TextView highlights the text and shows the Copy-Share-SelectAll popup.
3. Tap onto the TextView but not on the popup.

I consistently get:

You need to provide a lot more information, please. Device? Version of Android? Can you reproduce this on the latest 6.0 devices or emulator?

mi...@mictale.com <mi...@mictale.com> #3Oct 25, 2015 05:16PM

Sorry, here comes the rest of the info:

I can repro this on a Nexus 5 (hammerhead), Android 6 build MRA58K

I believe I'm seeing the same issue on the AOSP Nexus S emulator, API 23 x86 rev 4. I long press a TextView to highlight text and then click anywhere. The TextView has rich text (spans) and a LinkMovementMethod. I enable text selection after setting the movement method:

text.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
text.setTextIsSelectable(true);
text.setFocusable(true);
text.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);

Ah, specifically, after I've selected text, I must click somewhere _within_ the TextView but outside the selection. For example, highlight the "le" in "Google" and the tap the G.

Hi, I found a workaround to this, and posted to StackOverflow:

try removing this if you have it: view.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

Google refused to fix this. If you support Android 6 and older in your app, you should manually handle the LinkMovementMethod like this:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/43290390/524355

Inmho, if Google decides to not update an OS anymore, then they should at least provide an official workaround RIGHT HERE at the bug report instead of just dumping it in the virtual trash bin. Not a way to build customer relationship.

pa...@gmail.com <pa...@gmail.com> #24Jul 25, 2023 01:11PM

Re #23, they didn't refuse to fix it, it's not practically possible to fix anything for older APIs because they would need to issue a new release, and every vendor out there would need to pull that new code in as well and release it for all their devices.

The issue seems fixed in 24 and above from a quick testing. This is why they requested that we file a new issue if it still exists in later/recent versions.

Thanks for the link! It has some workable workarounds for supporting older devices.
