  <ol>
  <li><p>Can I prevent the user from editing the text in the edittext  box?</p></li>
  <li><p>Also is it possible copy text from an edittext box in Android without the softkeyboard showing?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Basically I want a text file (e.g. a story) displayed on an Android with the user having the opportunity to copy and paste. I don't want user to be able to edit the text nor do I want to keyboard to show while copying and pasting. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
