Android. How to remove selected text from WebView into a variable?

Question

Android

We need a method that will return the selected text to the webview, everything seemed simple, but no.
There is a possibility of such manipulation with TextView i EditText. Your suggestions, gentlemen, what can be done here? :)

Answer 1

My suggestion is through JavaScript, in fact, JavaScript has a good interface window.selection, it remains to contact the created one in the necessary events JavascriptInterface, which will process this and use the value as required, but look better, I think that there is a more convenient option, directly.
