Android EditText with text password input type doesn't select all character by double tap

Question

I'm trying to use EditText with textPassword input type. I faced a situation in which all the characters entering in the field were selected by double tap in android version 5 and 4.4 while this feature didn't work on android version 6. Would you please help me to have this feature in all android versions?

This is my xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">


    <EditText
        android:hint="Text Password Input Type"
        android:inputType="textPassword"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

This is the result:

Answer 1

THe general algorithm would be:

private long timeLastClicked;
private static final TIME_DOUBLE_CLICK_MS = 1000;
private EditText passwordField;  //should put the result of findViewById in here

...

myEditText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View view) {
        long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
        if(time - timeLastClicked < TIME_DOUBLE_CLICK_MS) {
           passwordField.setSelection(0,passwordField.getText().length());
        }
        timeLastClicked = time;
});

What this does- it sets a click listener. When you see a click, you check if you already saw another click in the previous second. If so, you hilight the text. If not, you don't. Either way, you save the time of this click so you can compare it next time.
