Please don't. Users will expect the standard EditText context menu to appear, so they can do silly things like edit the text. Android developers get ripped to shreds by users and the media for having zero UI discipline, breaking existing UI patterns and causing no two apps to work the same -- your proposal is a case in point. If your goal is for users to not edit the text, then don't use an EditText. If your goal is for users to edit the text, leave the context menu alone, and find some other way to trigger whatever it is that you are trying to do. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 3.0 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
