Question

I tried to get selected text from an html page on each touchend event in android device but am not able to get selected text.

Javascript code is :

if(window.getSelection)
{
    t = window.getSelection();
}
else if(document.getSelection)
{
    t = document.getSelection();
}
else if(document.selection)
{
    t = document.selection.createRange().text;
}

Thanks in Advance.

Are you doing this in a webview ?

window.getSelection() returns the Selection object. You can get the text by calling toString()

if( window.getSelection){
   t = window.getSelection().toString();
}
