Text selection listener in Android(API level 7)

Question

I need a listener which is called every time the selection in an EditText changes. I googled around but I couldn\'t find anything useful for API level 7. I\'m writing a Text

Answer 1

Pretty old question, but someone might still need this, so here's my solution : since the text selection accomplished with long press on the text, I simply used the following :

editText.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {

@Override
public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
        // do whatever you need to do on text selection
    }
});

This allows for custom behavior on text selection and doesn't prevent the user from copying/pasting.
