android How to show copy and paste context view in edittext in service window

Question

I create popup window in service like this

public class ChatService extends Service {
    WindowManager mWindowMgr;
    WindowManager.LayoutParams mWinMgrParam;
    View mView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate()
    {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        mView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.chat_window, null);

        mWinMgrParam = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE;,
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE,
        PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

        mWindowMgr = (WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
        mWindowMgr.addView(mView, mWinMgrParam);
    }

}

But not open copy&paste context view in edittext and textview like this. please see this attachment img. string was selected but not popup "copy, paste" context view...

Change in layout file chat_window.xml: add below property to your EditText

android:textIsSelectable="true"

it is already added. you can understand that. check attached image. text can be seleted. – Ronaldo Robert Mar 20 '18 at 06:30
I added xml in content – Ronaldo Robert Mar 20 '18 at 06:35
Which theme you are using? Try to use `@android:style/Theme.WithActionBar` OR `@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen` – Vikasdeep Singh Mar 20 '18 at 06:37
Try this option `editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);` – Vikasdeep Singh Mar 20 '18 at 06:43
As per the documentation, content of `EditText` can always be selectable. How you are using: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#isTextSelectable() – Vikasdeep Singh Mar 20 '18 at 06:45
select text is not problem. text is already selected. problem is not generate copy and paste popup window... – Ronaldo Robert Mar 20 '18 at 06:49
Is it because edittext and textview were run through the windowManager? – Ronaldo Robert Mar 20 '18 at 06:52
