Disable editing/text input and paste from clipboard of EditText

Question

We can disable editing text in EditText like this https://stackoverflow.com/a/8942552/7767664d

EditText.setFocusable(false)

But still we can paste some text to this view when you do long tap on it and paste button pops up

Otherwise disable long click on edittext :

EditText.setLongClickable(false);

or directly in the xml:

android:longClickable="false"

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