I am trying to implement a textview which has select text/copy and
paste functionality. I tried to do this by making an Edittext with the
following properties.

I currently have the following Edittext:
<EditText style="?android:attr/textViewStyle"
                                        android:editable="false"
                                        android:background="@null" 
android:textColor="@null"
                                        android:id="@+id/textbox"/>

I want users to be able to highlight the text with long click -->
select text. This works fine with the above code and the highlights of
selected text come out fine. However I do not want the cursor to
always be flashing. I successfully get rid of the cursor by using:

textBox.setCursorVisible(false);

However with this change whenever a user long clicks and hits select
text, the highlighted text no longer has any color over it. I have
tried to change the color of the highligthed text to

textBox.setHighlightColor(android.graphics.Color.RED);

But this does not seem to have any effect. Any suggestions will be
greatly appreciated!
