My problem is that I have a custom application, using EditorParts, which are persisted to a database. The user can open several Editors, and switch between them. I need to ask the user to save any unsaved changes in an Editor, before switching to the next Editor (or else close it).
I have created an IPartListener2, and I receive the partDeactivated notification. If isDirty()==true, I bring up a MessageDialog asking to save or not; because I want to call editor.doSave().
My problem is that does not work. I never see the MessageDialog, because another partDeactivated fires. I guess, this is caused by the MessageDialog over the Editor.
I have researched How to listen to lose focus event of a part in Eclipse E4 RCP?, but that did not help me.
thanks to help a e4 beginner

You probably need to run your code after the deactivate event has finished. You can do this using Display.asyncExec.
Something like:
#Override
public void partDeactivated(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef) {
if (!partRef.getClass().getName().equals("org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorReference")) {
System.out.println("partDeactivated: not a Editor="+partRef.getClass().getName());
return;
}
if (!editor.isDirty()) {
// if the editor is not dirty - do nothing
return;
}
Display.getDefault().asyncExec(() ->
{
// TODO the rest of your deactivate code goes here
});
}
(Above code assumes you are using Java 8 or later)
This is 3.x compatibility mode code, not e4.
I have found a great solution, using the suggestions above and Enumerating all my Eclipse editors?
I am checking all editors first, then all persisted editors - skipping itself and the persisted objects.
Thanks for your comments!

I am trying to figure out how to propagate events for components inside google maps InfoWindow.
I create anchor or a button and want to handle click event on any of those.
I have found solutions described here
and
here
but those both are using google maps wrappers for gwt.
I would like to avoid those libraries.
QUESTION:
Do you know any way how can I propagate those events from info window to some GWT panel which wraps google maps?
Based on code found here:
http://gwt-maps3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/com/googlecode/maps3/client/
I have created this class that solves problem with using no external library (you have to take Only InfoWindowJSO source from link given)
And then instead passing InnerHtml as string to setContent... you just pass Widget element.
import com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject;
import com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.ComplexPanel;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Widget;
public class InfoWindow
{
static class FakePanel extends ComplexPanel
{
public FakePanel(Widget w)
{
w.removeFromParent();
getChildren().add(w);
adopt(w);
}
#Override
public boolean isAttached()
{
return true;
}
public void detachWidget()
{
this.remove(0);
}
}
/** */
InfoWindowJSO jso;
/** If we have a widget, this will exist so we can detach later */
FakePanel widgetAttacher;
/** Keep track of this so we can get it again later */
Widget widgetContent;
/** */
public InfoWindow()
{
this.jso = InfoWindowJSO.newInstance();
}
/** */
public InfoWindow(InfoWindowOptions opts)
{
this.jso = InfoWindowJSO.newInstance(opts);
}
/** Detaches the handler and closes */
public void close()
{
this.detachWidget();
this.jso.close();
}
/** Detaches the content widget, if it exists */
private void detachWidget()
{
if (this.widgetAttacher != null)
{
this.widgetAttacher.detachWidget();
this.widgetAttacher = null;
}
}
/** */

{
this.jso.setOptions(value);

}

this.detachWidget();
this.jso.setContent(value);
}
/** */
public void setContent(Widget value)
{
this.widgetContent = value;
this.detachWidget();
this.jso.setContent(value.getElement());
if (this.widgetAttacher == null)
{
// Add a hook for the close button click
this.jso.addListener("closeclick", new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run()
{
detachWidget();
}
});
this.widgetAttacher = new FakePanel(value);
}
else if (this.widgetAttacher.getWidget(0) != value)
{
this.widgetAttacher.detachWidget();
this.widgetAttacher = new FakePanel(value);
}
}

A. Browser events bubble all the way to the top of the DOM tree. You can attach your click handlers to a widget that is parent to both the maps InfoWindow and your widget. Then, when a user clicks on your button, you need to check for the source of event to make sure it came from your button.
public void onClick(final ClickEvent event) {
Element e = Element.as(event.getNativeEvent().getEventTarget());
// check if e is your button
}
B. You can create a regular GWT button, attach a ClickHandler to it. Do not put it inside the InfoWindow: place it on top it using absolute positioning and a higher z-index.
I use the static value nextAnchorId to uniquely generate IDs for each InfoWindow, and when the InfoWindow is ready (usually when you call infoWindow.open(map);), I get the anchor by element ID and add my click handler to it. This is kind of what Manolo is doing, but this implementation doesn't require gwtquery, which means that I can run my code in Super Dev Mode.
private static int nextAnchorId = 1;
public InfoWindow makeInfo() {
InfoWindowOptions infoWindowOptions = InfoWindowOptions.create();
FlowPanel infoContentWidget = new FlowPanel();
final String theAnchorId_str = "theAnchor" + nextAnchorId;
HTML theAnchor = new HTML("<a id=\"" + theAnchorId_str + "\">Click me!</a>");
infoContentWidget.add(theAnchor);
infoWindowOptions.setContent(infoContentWidget.getElement());
InfoWindow infoWindow = InfoWindow.create(infoWindowOptions);
infoWindow.addDomReadyListenerOnce(new InfoWindow.DomReadyHandler() {
#Override
public void handle() {
com.google.gwt.user.client.Element muffinButton = (com.google.gwt.user.client.Element) Document.get().getElementById(theAnchorId_str);
DOM.sinkEvents(muffinButton, Event.ONCLICK);
DOM.setEventListener(muffinButton, new EventListener() {
#Override
public void onBrowserEvent(Event event) {
Window.alert("You clicked on the anchor!");
// This is where your click handling for the link goes.
}
});
}
});
nextAnchorId++;
return infoWindow
}
A very simple solution is to use gwtquery:
Identify the anchor in the map you want to add the click handler and define a css selector for that (for instance id=my_link)
Use gquery to locate it and to add the event.
$('#my_link').click(new Function() {
public boolean f(Event e) {
[...]
return false; //false means stop propagation and prevent default
}
});
Note that gwtquery is not a wrapper of jquery but an entire gwt implementation of its api, so including it in your project will not overload it, and the compiler will pick up just the stuff you use.
I have implemented a GEF editor for a graph-like EMF model, with a remove command for a certain type of node in the graph. I think I've done all the necessary steps in order to make this set up work (vainolo's blog has been a great help).
However, when I'm deleting a model element, the view doesn't get refreshed, i.e., the figure for the model element isn't removed from the editor view, and I have no idea why. I'd be extremely grateful if somebody could have a look at my sources and point me to any problems (and possibly solutions :)). Many thanks in advance!
Below are what I think are the important classes for this issue. Please do let me know should I add further code/edit the code, etc. (I've left out code that I thought doesn't help, e.g., getters and setters, class variables). Thanks!

EDIT
Re execc's comment: Yes, refreshChildren() is being called. I've tested this by overriding it and adding a simple System.err line, which is being displayed on the console on deletion of a node:
#Override
public void refreshChildren() {
super.refreshChildren();
System.err.println("refreshChildren() IS being called!");
}
EDIT 2
The funny (well...) thing is, when I close the editor and persist the model, then re-open the same file, the node isn't painted anymore, and is not present in the model. But what does this mean? Am I working on a stale model? Or is refreshing/getting the model children not working properly?
EDIT 3
I've just found a peculiar thing, which might explain the isues I have? In the getModelChildren() method I call allModelObjects.addAll(((Diagram) getModel()).getMyNodes());, and getMyNodes() returns an unmodifiable EList. I found out when I tried to do something along the lines of ((Diagram) getModel()).getMyNodes().remove(getMyNode()) in the delete command, and it threw an UnsupportedOperationException... Hm.
EDIT 4
Er, somebody kill me please?
I've double-checked whether I'm handling the same Diagram object at all times, and while doing this I stumbled across a very embarassing thing:
The getModelChildren() method in DiagramEditPart in the last version read approx. like this:
#Override protected List<EObject> getModelChildren() {
List<EObject> allModelObjects = new ArrayList<EObject>();
EList<MyNode> nodes = ((Diagram) getModel()).getMyNodes();
for (MyNode node : nodes) {
if (node.getDiagram() != null); // ### D'Uh! ###
allModelObjects.add(node);
}
return allModelObjects;
}
I'd like to apologize for stealing everyone's time! Your suggestions were very helpful, and indeed helped my to finally track down the bug!
I've also learned a number of lessons, amongst them: Always paste the original code, over-simplifaction may cloak your bugs! And I've learned a lot about EMF, Adapter, and GEF. Still:
There is one semi-colon too many in line 5 of the following part of the code, namely after the if statement: if (node.getDiagram() != null);:
1 #Override protected List<EObject> getModelChildren() {
2 List<EObject> allModelObjects = new ArrayList<EObject>();
3 EList<MyNode> nodes = ((Diagram) getModel()).getMyNodes();
4 for (MyNode node : nodes) {
5 if (node.getDiagram() != null);
6 allModelObjects.add(node);
7 }
8 return allModelObjects;
9 }
In my application, there is a registration screen, where i do not want the user to be able to copy/paste text into the EditText field. I have set an onLongClickListener on each EditText so that the context menu showing copy/paste/inputmethod and other options does not show up. So the user won't be able to copy/ paste into the Edit fields.
OnLongClickListener mOnLongClickListener = new OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
// prevent context menu from being popped up, so that user
// cannot copy/paste from/into any EditText fields.
return true;
}
};
But the problem arises if the user has enabled a third-party keyboard other than the Android default, which may have a button to copy/paste or which may show the same context menu. So how do i disable copy/paste in that scenario ?
Please let me know if there are other ways to copy/paste as well. (and possibly how to disable them)
Any help would be appreciated.
Best method is to use:
etUsername.setLongClickable(false);
If you are using API level 11 or above then you can stop copy,paste,cut and custom context menus from appearing by.
edittext.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;
}
});
Returning false from onCreateActionMode(ActionMode, Menu) will prevent the action mode from being started(Select All, Cut, Copy and Paste actions).
You can do this by disabling the long press of the EditText
To implement it, just add the following line in the xml -
android:longClickable="false"
I am able to disable copy-and-paste functionality with the following:
textField.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode actionMode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode actionMode) {
}
});
textField.setLongClickable(false);
textField.setTextIsSelectable(false);
Hope it works for you ;-)
Kotlin solution:
fun TextView.disableCopyPaste() {
isLongClickable = false
setTextIsSelectable(false)
customSelectionActionModeCallback = object : ActionMode.Callback {
override fun onCreateActionMode(mode: ActionMode?, menu: Menu): Boolean {
return false
}
override fun onPrepareActionMode(mode: ActionMode?, menu: Menu): Boolean {
return false
}
override fun onActionItemClicked(mode: ActionMode?, item: MenuItem): Boolean {
return false
}
override fun onDestroyActionMode(mode: ActionMode?) {}
}
}
Then you can simply call this method on your TextView:
override fun onCreate() {
priceEditText.disableCopyPaste()
}
here is a best way to disable cut copy paste of editText work in all version
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11) {
editText.setOnCreateContextMenuListener(new OnCreateContextMenuListener() {
#Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,
ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
menu.clear();
}
});
} else {
editText.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode,
MenuItem item) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
});
}
In addition to the setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback, and disabled long-click solutions, it's necessary to prevent the PASTE/REPLACE menus from appearing when the text selection handle is clicked, as per the image below:
The solution lies in preventing PASTE/REPLACE menu from appearing in the show() method of the (non-documented) android.widget.Editor class. Before the menu appears, a check is done to if (!canPaste && !canSuggest) return;. The two methods that are used as the basis to set these variables are both in the EditText class:
isSuggestionsEnabled() is public, and may thus be overridden.
canPaste() is not, and thus must be hidden by introducing a function of the same name in the derived class.
A more complete answer is available here.
If you don't wan't to disable long click because you need to perform some functionality on long click than returning true is a better option to do so.
Your edittext long click will be like this.
edittext.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
// Do Something or Don't
return true;
}
});
As per documentation
Returning "True" will indicate that long click have been handled so no need to perform default operations.
I tested this on API level 16, 22 and 25. Its working fine for me. Hope this will help.
Here is a hack to disable "paste" popup. You have to override EditText method:
#Override
public int getSelectionStart() {
for (StackTraceElement element : Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace()) {
if (element.getMethodName().equals("canPaste")) {
return -1;
}
}
return super.getSelectionStart();
}
Similar can be done for the other actions.
I've tested this solution and this works
mSubdomainEditText.setLongClickable(false);
mSubdomainEditText.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;
}
});
i added Extension Function in Kotlin language :
fun EditText.disableTextSelection() {
this.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(object : android.view.ActionMode.Callback {
override fun onActionItemClicked(mode: android.view.ActionMode?, item: MenuItem?): Boolean {
return false
}
override fun onCreateActionMode(mode: android.view.ActionMode?, menu: Menu?): Boolean {
return false
}
override fun onPrepareActionMode(mode: android.view.ActionMode?, menu: Menu?): Boolean {
return false
}
override fun onDestroyActionMode(mode: android.view.ActionMode?) {
}
})
}
you can use it like this :
edit_text.disableTextSelection()
also added below line in your xml :
android:longClickable="false"
android:textIsSelectable="false"
https://github.com/neopixl/PixlUI provides an EditText with a method
myEditText.disableCopyAndPaste().
And it's works on the old API
If you want to disable ActionMode for copy/pasting, you need to override 2 callbacks. This works for both TextView and EditText (or TextInputEditText)
import android.view.ActionMode
fun TextView.disableCopyPaste() {
isLongClickable = false
setTextIsSelectable(false)
customSelectionActionModeCallback = object : ActionMode.Callback {
override fun onCreateActionMode(mode: ActionMode?, menu: Menu) = false
override fun onPrepareActionMode(mode: ActionMode?, menu: Menu) = false
override fun onActionItemClicked(mode: ActionMode?, item: MenuItem) = false
override fun onDestroyActionMode(mode: ActionMode?) {}
}
//disable action mode when edittext gain focus at first
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
customInsertionActionModeCallback = object : ActionMode.Callback {
override fun onCreateActionMode(mode: ActionMode?, menu: Menu) = false
override fun onPrepareActionMode(mode: ActionMode?, menu: Menu) = false
override fun onActionItemClicked(mode: ActionMode?, item: MenuItem) = false
override fun onDestroyActionMode(mode: ActionMode?) {}
}
}
}
This extension is based off above #Alexandr solution and worked fine for me.
#Zain Ali, your answer works on API 11. I just wanted to suggest a way to do in on API 10 as well. Since I had to maintain my project API on that version, I was constantly playing with the functions available in 2.3.3 and got a possibility to do it. I have share the snippet below. I tested the code and it was working for me. I did this snippet on an urgency. Feel free to improve the code if there are any changes that can be done..
// A custom TouchListener is being implemented which will clear out the focus
// and gain the focus for the EditText, in few milliseconds so the selection
// will be cleared and hence the copy paste option wil not pop up.
// the respective EditText should be set with this listener
// tmpEditText.setOnTouchListener(new MyTouchListener(tmpEditText, tmpImm));
public class MyTouchListener implements View.OnTouchListener {
long click = 0;
EditText mEtView;
InputMethodManager imm;
public MyTouchListener(EditText etView, InputMethodManager im) {
mEtView = etView;
imm = im;
}
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
long curr = System.currentTimeMillis();
if (click !=0 && ( curr - click) < 30) {
mEtView.setSelected(false);
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
mEtView.setSelected(true);
mEtView.requestFocusFromTouch();
imm.showSoftInput(mEtView, InputMethodManager.RESULT_SHOWN);
}
},25);
return true;
}
else {
if (click == 0)
click = curr;
else
click = 0;

For smartphone with clipboard, is possible prevent like this.
editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{new InputFilter() {
#Override
public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
if (source.length() > 1) {
return "";
} return null;
}
}});
Read the Clipboard, check against the input and the time the input is "typed". If the Clipboard has the same text and it is too fast, delete the pasted input.
the solution is very simple
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText et_0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
et_0 = findViewById(R.id.et_0);
et_0.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
//to keep the text selection capability available ( selection cursor)
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
//to prevent the menu from appearing
menu.clear();
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
}
});
}

Try Following custome class for prevant copy and paste in Edittext

The solutions above do not take into account pasting with hardware keyboards (Ctrl+v). The easiest solution is to set a TextWatcher on your EditText, and filter characters you want or don't want in the afterTextChanged method. This works for all situations, i.e. typed characters, pastes, auto suggestions and auto corrections.
Rather than completely disabling all actions on the EditText, you may want to prevent only certain actions (like cut/copy, but not paste):
/**
* Prevent copy/cut of the (presumably sensitive) contents of this TextView.
*/
fun TextView.disableCopyCut() {
setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(
object : Callback {
override fun onActionItemClicked(mode: ActionMode?, item: MenuItem?) = false
override fun onCreateActionMode(mode: ActionMode?, menu: Menu?): Boolean {
menu?.apply {
removeItem(android.R.id.copy)
removeItem(android.R.id.cut)
}
return true
}
override fun onPrepareActionMode(mode: ActionMode?, menu: Menu?) = false
override fun onDestroyActionMode(mode: ActionMode?) {
// no-op
}
}
)
}
Actions that can be selectively removed:
removeItem(android.R.id.copy)
removeItem(android.R.id.cut)
removeItem(android.R.id.paste)
removeItem(android.R.id.shareText) // Share
removeItem(android.R.id.textAssist) // Open with Chrome
its very late but may it help someone .
add these lines in your edittext xml
android:longClickable="false"
android:textIsSelectable="false"
android:importantForAutofill="no"
I found that when you create an input filter to avoid entry of unwanted characters, pasting such characters into the edit text is having no effect. So this sort of solves my problem as well.
Solution that worked for me was to create custom Edittext and override following method:
public class MyEditText extends EditText {
private int mPreviousCursorPosition;
#Override
protected void onSelectionChanged(int selStart, int selEnd) {
CharSequence text = getText();
if (text != null) {
if (selStart != selEnd) {
setSelection(mPreviousCursorPosition, mPreviousCursorPosition);
return;
}
}
mPreviousCursorPosition = selStart;
super.onSelectionChanged(selStart, selEnd);
}
}
Try to use.
myEditext.setCursorVisible(false);
myEditext.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode,
MenuItem item) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
});
Who is looking for a solution in Kotlin use the below class as a custom widget and use it in the xml.
class SecureEditText : TextInputEditText {
/** This is a replacement method for the base TextView class' method of the same name. This method
* is used in hidden class android.widget.Editor to determine whether the PASTE/REPLACE popup
* appears when triggered from the text insertion handle. Returning false forces this window
* to never appear.
* #return false

A widely compatible solution (from Android 1.5 onwards) is
#Override
public boolean onTextContextMenuItem(int id) {
switch (id){
case android.R.id.cut:
onTextCut();
return false;
case android.R.id.paste:
onTextPaste();
return false;
case android.R.id.copy:
onTextCopy();
return false;
}
return true;
}

At Last, I finally Removed the paste option from the Context Menu of EditText
Thank you StackOverflow posts and http://androidinformative.com/disabling-context-menu/
editText.apply {
setOnTouchListener { v, event ->
if (event.action == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
requestFocus()
setSelection(text.toString().length)
showKeyboard()
return#setOnTouchListener true
}
}
}
fun View.showKeyboard() {
val imm = context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
imm.showSoftInput(this, 0)
}
Actually in my case i had to set the callback for both selection and insertion and only then i got the copy/paste pop-up to not appear anymore.
Something like this :
private void disableCopyPaste() {
input.setLongClickable(false);
input.setTextIsSelectable(false);
final ActionMode.Callback disableCopyPasteCallback = new ActionMode.Callback() {
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode actionMode, Menu menu) {
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode actionMode, MenuItem menuItem) {
return false;
}
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode actionMode) {
}
};
input.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(disableCopyPasteCallback);
input.setCustomInsertionActionModeCallback(disableCopyPasteCallback);
}
Similar to GnrlKnowledge, you can clear the Clipboard
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/ClipboardManager.html
If you want, preserve the text in the Clipboard, and on onDestroy, you can set it again.
