Edittext that make selection on long click but do not show context menu?

i want to provide custom handlers that cut,copy text.

Target on Longclick

Context Menu Should not appear.
Text could get selected with trackers ( or Draggers ).

[UPDATE]

 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    edittext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.notetext);
    . . . .

    edittext.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback()
    {
        public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
            return false;
        }

        public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
        }

        public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu)
        {
            return true;
        }

        public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
            return false;
        }
    });

  . . . .

}

@Override
public void onSupportActionModeStarted(android.support.v7.view.ActionMode mode) {
    super.onSupportActionModeStarted(mode);
    View v = new View(MainActivity.this);
    mode.setCustomView(v);
    mode.getMenu().clear();
    mode.getMenu().close();
    mode.finish();
}

Using above piece of code i am able to remove Select All, Cut, Copy and Paste.But Still it shows "Text Selection"

Below Image shows what is required.

you want to get rid of the ActionMode? and create your own??

you can override this and get notified when the default is about to be displayed

  @Override
  public void onSupportActionModeStarted(ActionMode mode) {     
    super.onSupportActionModeStarted(mode);
    //you can add your custom ui here
    mode.setCustomView(....);// it takes a view
}

if you want to close it then you call mode.finish(); you can call it there to close if or finish it if you do not need it.

when it is about to die it calls this onSupportActionModeFinished(ActionMode mode)` the methods i have stated are for the support libraries, hope you know that.

The rest is cheese

Finally I have sorted this out. This solution perfectly works for me. First of all, you need to create the context menu background as follows

menuback.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
      <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <solid android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>
      </shape>
    </item>
  </selector>

Then Create your Custom Menu as follows

mymenu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@+id/m" android:title=" " ></item>
  </menu>

Now add the following lines on your

styles.xml

<resources>

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
    <item name="actionModeBackground">@drawable/menuback</item>
    <item name="actionBarSize">1dp</item>
    <item name="android:actionModeCloseDrawable">@android:color/transparent</item>

</style>

</resources>

And Finally set elevation of the actionbar to 0 and implement the ActionMode.CallBack as follows

       EditText editText=findViewById(R.id.ed);

    getSupportActionBar().setElevation(0);
    editText.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
        @Override
        public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
            mode.getMenu().clear();
            MenuInflater inflater=mode.getMenuInflater();
            inflater.inflate(R.menu.mymenu,menu);
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
            return false;
        }

        @Override
        public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {

        }
    });

Ta...da... Here is the Final Result
