Touch and hold on text

[RES]

I notice if I try to touch and hold on text in a Kendo mobile view the copy and paste features don't come up, at least on Android.  Is there a reason for this?

Hi Scott,

Sorry about the delayed reply.

The observed behavior is by design and can be observed on all devices and operating systems. The idea is that the mobile web application should behave like native device apps, which normally do not allow text selection.

You can re-enable text selection by overriding the CSS rules, which disable it:

.km-root,
.km-pane,
.km-pane-wrapper {
  /* other styles here */
  -ms-user-select: none;
  -webkit-user-select: none;
  /* other styles here */
}

.km-scrollview,
.km-scroll-container {
  -moz-user-select: none;
  -webkit-user-select: none;
  -ms-user-select: none;
  user-select: none;
  -moz-user-select: -moz-none;
  /* other styles here */
}

For example, you can use:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/user-select

.km-root,
.km-pane,
.km-pane-wrapper,
.km-scrollview,
.km-scroll-container {
  -ms-user-select: text;
  -webkit-user-select: text;
  -moz-user-select: text;
   user-select: text;
}

(add the above rule after the Kendo UI stylesheets)
