finally got the solution i was using this method for hiding my keyboard for touching outside editext

 @Override
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        View view = getCurrentFocus();
        boolean ret = super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);

        if (view instanceof EditText) {
            View w = getCurrentFocus();
            int scrcoords[] = new int[2];
            w.getLocationOnScreen(scrcoords);
            float x = event.getRawX() + w.getLeft() - scrcoords[0];
            float y = event.getRawY() + w.getTop() - scrcoords[1];

            if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP
                    && (x < w.getLeft() || x >= w.getRight()
                    || y < w.getTop() || y > w.getBottom()) ) {

                ((EditText)view).setError(null);
                view.clearFocus();
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindow().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
            }
        }
        return ret;
    }

here i just need to comment this line 

view.clearFocus();

and now it works

Can you try to add this attribute to your EditText :

 android:textIsSelectable="true"

Hope this helps.

Add this line in your edit text :-

   android:textIsSelectable="true"

so your edittext will be like this :- 

      <EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
        android:textColor="@android:color/background_dark"
        android:hint="mail"
        android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
        android:cursorVisible="true"
        android:imeOptions="actionNext"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textColorHint="@android:color/darker_gray"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:id="@+id/ed_userName"
        android:textIsSelectable="true"/>

Hope it may help you . :)

The text you are trying to paste (from clipboard) should be a valid email address since you specified input type as email address, otherwise it would not work. all the best :)
