How to disable copy paste in android

Question

I am working in xamarin forms to create an app for android. I want to disable the copy/paste functionality of textbox in android. I used the following line to disable it

   Control.LongClickable = false;

But its working only in case of if user press the text for long time. But if user click multiple times on text, he becomes able to copy paste. How I can completely disable the copy paste functionality of textbox?

In eclipse this can be used, Just check will it be helpful.

textView.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {

    public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
        return false;
    }

    public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {                  
    }

    public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
        return false;
    }
});

*In Eclipse*... So, that means Java code, not Xamarin. – OneCricketeer Aug 12 '16 at 05:24

// after onCreateView and findById you you_editText view;
you_editText.CustomSelectionActionModeCallback = new CopyPasteDisabler();    

class CopyPasteDisabler : Java.Lang.Object, Android.Views.ActionMode.ICallback
{
    public bool OnActionItemClicked(Android.Views.ActionMode mode, IMenuItem item) => false;
    public bool OnCreateActionMode(Android.Views.ActionMode mode, IMenu menu) => false;
    public void OnDestroyActionMode(Android.Views.ActionMode mode) {}
    public bool OnPrepareActionMode(Android.Views.ActionMode mode, IMenu menu) => false;
}
