I know there is an attribute android:textIsSelectable="true" which enables text selection in a TextView by a long click on text and after that it shows an ActionMode for manipulating text.My question is how can I disable the default ActionMode? I tried to disable it by writing a custom ActionMode and returning false in it's onCreateActionMode method:

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

and passed it to the:

TextView.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(customActionMode);

It ruined text selection and disabled Start-End pointers. I want to disable ActionMode to write my own PopupWindow after selecting text. Do you have any suggestions?
