Android - How to copy the current URL in Chrome?

Turns out I was doing it wrong (well at least on my my ROM).

You need to perform two double-taps.

  1. Double tap the URL. The first tap will select all of the URL and the second will deselect it and give you the text cursor and that little text selection tab helper thing.
  2. Double tap the URL again to bring up the menu.

Or you can just keep quickly tapping until the copy menu appears. I find this whole process to be a bit unusual.

Other people are saying that they can long press to copy, so not sure if the above is specific to Sony ROMs.


It just might be about your ROM.

I have the same version of Chrome, on Android 4.1.2. When I select the URL and long-press, I am getting a row of buttons, which of course includes a 'copy' button.
