Android TextView Android dashboard is inconsistent

Question

I have an application for studying the sacred Indian texts, usually consisting of a verse and commentary on this verse. To open it, I use the DisplayText activity that is called by the ActionBar when the user selects text from a verse or comment.

My problem is that it works inconsistently - on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 it works fine, but on sony xperia Z2, when I try to touch the action button, it exits from the action panel and nothing happens.

The Android version for Samsung is 4.4.2 and the version for Sony 4.4.4

Please watch this very short video for your Sony device and how it works on your samsung device. Please note that error messages are not displayed in the LogCat view.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can fix this problem. Any ways to get a job would also be appreciated.
