Devices with Android + MIUI and setCustomSelectionActionModeCallback

So I figured out a workaround, but it makes sense only if you absolutely need it to work on MIUI devices. It's generally a little awkward:

I noticed that the Wikipedia app has custom actions working on a Xiaomi device, and after looking through the code I found out it works fine when the texts is selected in a WebView. You can basically use a WebView and override onActionModeStarted in your Activity

Acivity:

String html = "<!DOCTYPE html>\n" +
        "<html>\n" +
        "<head>\n" +
        "</head>\n" +
        "<body>\n" +
        "\n" +
        "<h1>WebView text</h1>\n" +
        "\n" +
        "</body>\n" +
        "</html>\n";

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    WebView webView = findViewById(R.id.web_view);
    webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
    webView.loadData(html, "text/html", "UTF-8");
}

@Override
public void onActionModeStarted(ActionMode mode) {
    super.onActionModeStarted(mode);
        Menu menu = mode.getMenu();
        menu.clear();
        mode.getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_text_select, menu);
}

Menu:

<item android:id="@+id/id1"
      android:title="miui"
      app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

<item android:id="@+id/id2"
      android:title="has"
      app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

<item android:id="@+id/id3"
      android:title="bugs"
      app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

<item android:id="@+id/id4"
    android:title="D:"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom" />

Result: result
