Version of Qt?
Version of QtQuick.Controls?
Version of Android?

How do you build for Android?

How do you call these methods?

Version of Qt: Qt5.7.0
whatever version of QtQuick.Controls ,I just want to use TextEdit to achieve the result like that ,when I touchAndHold the input area , it can diaplay the options , such as copy,cut,choose and so on.
when I use java program to develop android, the input widget has these functions by themself!
//your code here

Hi,

I think this is part of Qt 5.8, see here

Selection handles on Android, with edit menu for copy/paste)

So I'd suggest you try building your project with the 5.8 RC (or wait for the official release next week).

Cheers,

So, if i understand you right, you know about copy , cut , paste at TextEdit component, but you have a problem about context menu on "press-and-hold" with controls for these methods?

@Lorenz
This quote from Qt GUI.
Do you think, that this update will be for QtQuick too?

galaxyHu

@Roumed
yes, all right,do you have some methods for this?

The only method that i know is to customize controls or to make a wrapper for TextEdit.
Also , i advice you to look at the TextInputWithHandles (qtquickcontrols/src/controls/Private/TextInputWithHandles.qml) component from Controls 1.0 - you will have some good ideas.

Thank you very much, I will learn from the TextInputWithHandles.
