ClipboardManager clipBoard = (ClipboardManager)getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
clipBoard.addPrimaryClipChangedListener(new OnPrimaryClipChangedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrimaryClipChanged() {
ClipData clipData = clipBoard.getPrimaryClip();
ClipData.Item item = clipData.getItemAt(0);
String text = item.getText().toString();
// Access your context here using YourActivityName.this
}
});
val clipBoardManager = context.getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
clipBoardManager.addPrimaryClipChangedListener {
val copiedString = clipBoardManager.primaryClip?.getItemAt(0)?.text?.toString()
// Your code
}
Hope this helps
Clean, reusable, and simple working solution using Extension function -
fun Context.getFromClipBoard() : String? {
val clipBoardManager = getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
return clipBoardManager.primaryClip?.getItemAt(0)?.text?.toString()
}
