Try overriding the onLongClick listener of the edit text to remove context menu:

EditText myTextField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.my_edit_text_id);
myTextField.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
        return true;
    }
});
