[FIXED] How to copy text programmatically in my Android app?

 November 07, 2022     android, clipboardmanager, menu     No comments   

Issue

I'm building an Android app and I want to copy the text value of an EditText widget. It's possible for the user to press Menu+A then Menu+C to copy the value, but how would I do this programmatically?


Solution

Use ClipboardManager#setPrimaryClip method:

import android.content.ClipboardManager;

// ...

ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); 
ClipData clip = ClipData.newPlainText("label", "Text to copy");
clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip);

ClipboardManager API reference
