-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I was wondering if i can launch an activity or application when a text is selected in any application like browser, messages etc.
Like when we select a text at any where a small pop-up appears mentioning cut, copy, paste option. can i add another button there? to launch my application? or something like that?
You cannot add anything to that context menu.
i know it is possible because similar work is done in screenshot apps. that a service is running and when a user shakes his mobile it send a screenshot to the service and save it. or it can also be done using overlay button, power button, volume button.
What you can do is have your app respond to Share Intents and your app will be an option when the user attempts to share something.
Google "handle share intent" or something.
