clipboardmanager

I'm trying to get text copied into the clipboard using the following listener: import android.content.ClipboardManager.OnPrimaryClipChangedListener; import com.orhanobut.logger.Logger; public class ClipboardListener implements OnPrimaryClipChangedListener { public void onPrimaryClipChanged() { // do something useful here with the clipboard // use getText() method Logger.d("Clipped"); } } The listener is initialized as follows: ClipboardManager clipBoard = (ClipboardManager)getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); clipBoard.addPrimaryClipChangedListener( new ClipboardListener()); After the text is

According to the Android documentation , ClipData use "label" as a kind of representation to the copied data. ClippedData is a complex type containing one or Item instances, each of which can hold one or more representations of an item of data. For display to the user, it also has a label and iconic representation. And then it further explains "label" as User-visible label for the clip data in some API docs . However, I'm still confused about the usage of the label. How is this label visible to users? How should I use it? What should I set for this label when I call the ClipData factory method

I am getting { text/plain {NULL} } when I am using ClipData but if I use deprecated method mClipboard.getText() it is working just fine. if (mClipboard.getPrimaryClipDescription().hasMimeType(ClipDescription.MIMETYPE_TEXT_PLAIN)) { ClipData clipData = mClipboard.getPrimaryClip(); ClipData.Item item = clipData.getItemAt(0); Log.d(TAG, clipData.toString()); Log.d(TAG, mClipboard.getText()); } Update Issue exists in Samsung galaxy Tab 3. The reason of your problem is unknown. since it works on a device which I tested on (S6 5.0). You may want to look at the implementation of deprecated getText()

I'm building an application that will launch a service capable to listen to clipboard changes. What i really want is to record (and write it in storage) every single change in the clipboard permanently, so when i launch my app i can read the stored files written by that service. This means, there's no need for direct communication between my app and the service and there's no need to use wakelocks to keep the device up (since the clipboard hardly changes while the device is asleep). I'm using a handler to recurrently check the clipboard, I want to know how can I implement the clipboardListener

Is it possible to send past command so that it pastes text into currently focused edit text. Scenario: Background service listening for notification (done) When notification is received text needs to be copied to clipboard (done) Paste text to any currently focused field, if not possible just discard paste command. I know how to copy text with ClipboardManager , but I don't know how to paste it. Mukesh Kumar Singh you can copy and paste text using following code : for copy : ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager)getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); ClipData clip = ClipData
