Hide text selection handles on out of focus: Android -Webview

Question

I'm trying to hide the text selection handles when the user clicks somewhere else (a floating button) in webview, as shown in images the handles overlap with my linear layout. layout_meaning_selected_text is the element I hide and show after selection and clicking on the button.

any idea how to resolve this overlapping, and I want the text to be selected, it's just I want to make focus on that yellow part and after closing that, focus on the selected text.

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

    <com.myview.HorizontalWebView
        android:id="@+id/web_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:scrollbars="none"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="10dp"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="10dp"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>

    <View
        android:layout_width="@dimen/afc_200dp"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/afc_200dp"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:background="@drawable/watermark_logo_grey" />

    <include

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/afc_10dp"
        android:visibility="gone"
        tools:visibility="visible" />

    <include

        layout="@layout/toast_with_icon"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/afc_10dp"
        android:visibility="gone" />

    <include

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/afc_10dp"
        android:visibility="gone" />

    <include layout="@layout/config_layout" />

    <include
        android:id="@+id/layout_meaning_selected_text"
        layout="@layout/layout_meaning_selected_text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

You have to take one EditText on your yellow page. Then you simply copy the selected text data from WebView and paste it on the EditText.

Alternatively, if you don't want an EditText go for Android - Clipboard

example 2

Android Clipboard

but my situation is that first i want to select the text by long press and text selection handles and then click on search-meaning icon in the bottom , then the yellow layout should be visible above my webview and that text should be selected as well but without "TEXTSELECTION HANDLES" – josh May 08 '19 at 12:17
