Answer 1

try creating a class the derives from edittext and override onSelectionChanged for example

public class BlockedSelectionEditText extends
    EditText{

    /** Standard Constructors */

    public BlockedSelectionEditText (Context context) {
    super(context);
    }

    public BlockedSelectionEditText (Context context,
        AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    }
    public BlockedSelectionEditText (Context context,
        AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onSelectionChanged(int selStart, int selEnd) {
    //on selection move cursor to end of text
    setSelection(this.length());
    }
}
