setTextIsSelectable does fix the problem on Android 7.1.1 for sure. The setEnabled(false) and then true didn't work. 

editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);

My exact situation was having setFocusable(false) and adding an onClickListener, then setting setFocusable(true) and onClickListener(null) gave me the error in the OP.

(not correct syntax but you get the idea)
