Disable text selection and copy paste in hybrid app using JS

Question

I am trying to disable text selection and copy paste in phonegap applicaion by using following code.

CSS

-webkit-user-select:none;

JavaScript

$('body').on('cut copy paste',function(e){e.preventDefault();});

It works on all OS platforms including adroid 4.4+ but having issues on 4.1 and 4.2. Please Help.

Both doesn't support android 4.1.2 and 4.2.1.
