textselection

I have simple UIWebView with loaded html. I want to show the PopoverView pointed to the selected text. I can get the menuFrame of the UIMenuController and use its rect, but the result isn't as accurate at the corners of the screen as I need. I can calculate the screen size and get menuFrame rect and then I can suppose where the selection may be found, but I want exactly know where is the selected text. Is it generally possible? hwaxxer You can use the javascript function getBoundingClientRect() on the range object of the selected text. This is how I do it: function getRectForSelectedText() {

I've got an app that uses a web view where text can be selected. It's long been an annoyance that you can't select text across a block boundary in UIWebView. WKWebView seems to fix this with a property on its configuration: selectionGranularity . One of the possible values is WKSelectionGranularityCharacter : Selection endpoints can be placed at any character boundary. Sounds great! Exactly what I need. Except that when I set that in my web view, I often can no longer select text at all. What is going on? Is there something else I need to set? Has anyone figured this out? Update: I've figured

My end goal is to create a tooltip over a text selection. The user will then be able to interact with the tooltip similar to . Please note that I was able to accomplish this by wrapping selected text in a tag and then creating the tooltip on it however this is no longer an option for me due to some other requirements and functionality issues. If you notice in the image above in element inspector, the selected text is not wrapped in any kind of tag, the tooltip is just created over the selection. I have already looked at this and it will not work for me because mouse position may not be the

I'm searching for a way to prevent the user from moving the cursor position anywhere. The cursor should always stay at the end of the current EditText value. In addition to that the user should not be able to select anything in the EditText. Do you have any idea how to realize that in Android using an EditText? To clarify: the user should be able to insert text, but only at the end. I had the same problem. This ended up working for me: public class CustomEditText extends EditText { @Override public void onSelectionChanged(int start, int end) { CharSequence text = getText(); if (text != null) {

Background Android M presents a new way to handle selected text (link here ), even from outside of your app . Text selection can be handled as such: I know it's possible to handle the selected text from outside the app, because if I go to the web browser (or any other place that allows text selection), I can see that I can use the "API demos" app to handle the selected text. The problem I can't see a lot of information about how to do it. The question What should be added in code (and manifest) to be able to handle the selected text from outside the app ? Is it possible to limit the selection

Why does the CSS3 pseudo-element selection not change all parts of the highlight? As you can see in this screenshot I have selected part of the page, and parts of the selection are the default bright blue color: This is the CSS that I'm using, it is at the top of my CSS file: ::selection { background: #3B3B3B; color: #fff; } ::-moz-selection { background: #3B3B3B; color: #fff; } It seems like the highlight for inputs (text, checkboxes, etc.) and white space does not change. Does anyone know why this is, and is there a way to change it for every part of the page so the highlight color is

I have div with some text and contenteditable="true". When I single click on this div - works some my scripts, it is not very important. And when I double click on this div - need to edit text in div. Edit text need to be only after double click, not after single. And very imortant, when I double click on div - caret need stay under mouse cursor. No need selection text. I found some script for single/double. But have problem. When I double click on div - text are selection. Selection no need. Need editor caret where I clicked. I do not understand how. http://jsfiddle.net/X6auM/ Tim Down Every
