@MuhammadUsman - I have tried restricting it by using jQuery 'paste' and trimming extra characters but a lot of manipulation is required as I have to validate lot of characters. It's a banking app. Passing any invalid data means dirty payload hence server rejects it completely — nickalchemist, Sep 21 '15 at 07:02

 $('input').bind("contextmenu", function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
    });

Please try this code if not use contextmenu functionality in your app otherwise contextmenu functionality will be stop working

 **Use below code:**
 <style type="text/css">
 *:not(input):not(textarea) {
 -webkit-user-select: none; /* disable selection/Copy of UIWebView */
   -webkit-touch-callout: none; /* disable the IOS popup when           long-press on a link */
  }       
  </style>

 **If you want Disable only anchor button tag use this.**
      a {-webkit-user-select: none; /* disable selection/Copy of      UIWebView */
    -webkit-touch-callout: none; /* disable the IOS popup when   long-press on a link */
 }

What @Tasos says in his comment is valid, if you want all user selection disabled in the app you can use the answer from this question: Disabling text selection in PhoneGap

I looked all over for help on this. This finally worked for me.

public class MainActivity extends DroidGap {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html");

        super.appView.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {

            public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
                return true;
            }
        });
    }
}

The setOnClickListener is what does the magic. Make sure you put this AFTER your call to super.loadUrl.

I don't have idea about Javascript and Cordova but in Android code you can try this.

Required API level 11 or above.

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).

So, i don't know, if your suggested answers are working. He wanted to know, how he can deactivate this inside a Cordova application. For what did you post native code than?

Normal input field without deactivation would look like this:

<input id="username" type="text" placeholder="Username">

To deactivate those things, just edit it, that it looks like this:

<input id="username" type="text" placeholder="Username" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false">

Hope that helped!
