Answer 1

I had similar problem, maybe my solution would help someone. I had to make a view composed of several horizontal neighboring EditText's, and add ability to paste text to them (one letter of text to one editText) I used ActionMode.Callback's approach and it was working fine, except Xiaomi devices. The solution for Xiaomi devices was using OnLongClickListener on edit texts and create PopupMenu on long click:

editText.setOnLongClickListener(v -> {
    PopupMenu menu = new PopupMenu(context,v);
    MenuInflater inflater = menu.getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.paste_menu_item, menu.getMenu());
    menu.setOnMenuItemClickListener(item -> {
       pasteText();//some custom function to handle selected action
       return false;
    });
    menu.show();
    return true;
});
