uipasteboard

I think this is more of an SDK flaw than my apps' but recently I've been trying to use UIPasteboard to copy strings from my app and it works fine to pasting somewhere when I'm inside the app. When I jump to another app by either pressing the home button or anything like that, I simply don't have the option to paste the copied content. UIPasteboard *pasteboard = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard]; [pasteboard setString: @"blah" ]; NSLog(@"%@", pasteboard.string); It will print "blah" in this case, and whenever I quick touch a textfield, it will show the paste option. But if I go to Safari, Notes

I know this is possible as Tapbots Pastebot does this. I am trying to grab the UIPasteboard when my iPhone app is running in the background and add it to a UITableView just as Pastebot does but I am also trying to shorten the link, if its a URL and copy that back to the UIPastboard so its ready for the user to paste anywhere. Now Pastebot apparently runs in the background by playing an audio file for 10 minutes. I have set up the NSNotificationCenter like so in the applicationDidFinishLaunching [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector

In there a way to do this? I register my object for UIPasteboardChangedNotification at launch time, but when sending it to the background and opening (for instance) Safari and copying some text, my handler never gets called. (I'm using just the simulator for now). I've used both: [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(pasteboardNotificationReceived:) name:UIPasteboardChangedNotification object:[UIPasteboard generalPasteboard]]; and: [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(pasteboardNotificationReceived:) name

My application should be able to write custom metadata entries to PNG images for export to the UIPasteboard. By piecing together various posts on the subject, I've been able to come up with the class given below as source. Triggering the copyPressed method with a button, I'm able to set custom metadata with JPG images (EXIF): Image[6101:907] found jpg exif dictionary Image[6101:907] checking image metadata on clipboard Image[6101:907] { ColorModel = RGB; Depth = 8; Orientation = 1; PixelHeight = 224; PixelWidth = 240; "{Exif}" = { ColorSpace = 1; PixelXDimension = 240; PixelYDimension = 224;

In iPhoto, I can simply hold my finger over an image to get a "Copy" popup (like the popup you see in text boxes). In my UIImageView's, this is not the case. How can I enable it? Brad Larson You can manually display the Cut / Copy / Paste menu using the UIMenuController class . For example, the following code will display the menu, centered on your image: [self becomeFirstResponder]; UIMenuController *copyMenuController = [UIMenuController sharedMenuController]; [copyMenuController setTargetRect:image.frame inView:self.view]; [copyMenuController setMenuVisible:YES animated:YES]; This assumes
