Add this to for your edittext for which you want to disable copy paste option.

  edittext.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new Callback() {

                    return false;
                }

                public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {                  
                }

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

For disable Copy paste, You need to stop selection and then insertion. Use below code, its 100% working code.

   //This disable the paste 
    editText.setCustomInsertionActionModeCallback(new ActionMode.Callback() {
        @Override
        public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
            menu.clear();
            return false;
        }

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

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

        @Override
        public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {

        }
    });

    //This Disable selection of text
    editText.setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback(new Callback() {
        @Override
        public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
            menu.clear();
            return false;
        }

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

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

        @Override
        public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {

        }
    });
    editText.setLongClickable(false);
    editText.setTextIsSelectable(false);

You might want to check out this question here.

Apparently by catching the long touch event you can prevent the copy paste tools from activating like this:

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;
    }
};

Then set the onLongClickListener you just created on the EditText like this:

myEditTextView.setOnLongClickListener(mOnLongClickListener);
