Answer 1

In results of next example are:

• disable context menu (double click etc.),
• and prevent crash on dialog on input's event.

editText.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new EditTextNoContextHelper());


public class EditTextNoContextHelper implements ActionMode.Callback
{
    public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu)
    {
        return false;
    }
    public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu)
    {
        return false;
    }
    public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item)
    {
        return false;
    }

Try checking the solution provided here:

EDIT:

The solution suggests the following:

Change:

<style name="MyDialogTheme">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation.Dialog</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowFrame">@null</item>
    <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>
</style>

To this:

<style name="MyDialogTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation.Dialog</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowFrame">@null</item>
    <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>

Answer 3

I think the problem comes from the layout you implemented.

I guess you gave a size for your actionBarContextView and this is not possible. You have to choose fill_parent or match_parent for this item.

Answer 4

If you read the first line it says ActionBarContextView can only be used with android:layout_width="match_parent" (or fill_parent). In other words, something in your layout has a invalid android:layout_width. Check that...
