    @Override
    public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
        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) {

    }
};

Another method one would suggest is to call setLongClickable(false) on the EditText, although that still doesn't prevent pasting from tapping on the cursor.

The proper (or only :) way to do this is to create a custom EditText and override isSuggestionsEnabled and canPaste methods.

Check this answer for an example.
