Can this drawable be changed? If so how?

I have tried searching "android text editor", "android edittext gui", and "android cut copy paste edittext" but have had no success. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

That action bar is called Contextual Action Bar. That is a temporary action bar that overlays the application's action bar for the duration of a particular subtask. ie whenever we are copying any message from whatsapp messenger, when we click and hold a message a new action bar appears providing us different options like copy,delete etc.
