clipboard in android

Here is an example of how to use different types of clipboard functionalities in Android using Kotlin:

1. Copy plain text to clipboard:

  
val clipboardManager = getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
val plainText = "TEXT_TO_COPY"
val clipData = ClipData.newPlainText("label", plainText)
clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData)

 
 

2. Copy an image to clipboard:

  
val clipboardManager = getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(resources, R.drawable.IMAGE_TO_COPY)
val clipData = ClipData.newBitmap("label", bitmap)
clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData)

 
 

3. Copy a URI to clipboard:

  
val clipboardManager = getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
val uri = Uri.parse("URI_TO_COPY")
val clipData = ClipData.newUri(contentResolver, "label", uri)
clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData)

 
 

4. Copy multiple items to clipboard:

  
val clipboardManager = getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
val plainText = "TEXT_TO_COPY"
val bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(resources, R.drawable.IMAGE_TO_COPY)
val uri = Uri.parse("URI_TO_COPY")
val clipData = ClipData.newPlainText("label", plainText)
clipData.addItem(ClipData.Item(bitmap))
clipData.addItem(ClipData.Item(uri))
clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData)

 
 

5. Paste from clipboard:

  
val clipboardManager = getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
if (clipboardManager.hasPrimaryClip()) {
    val clipData = clipboardManager.primaryClip
    val item = clipData?.getItemAt(0)
    if (item != null) {
        val text = item.text?.toString()
        val uri = item.uri
        val bitmap = item.getBitmap()
        // Use the clipboard contents as needed
    }
}

 
 

In this example, setPrimaryClip() is used to copy data to the clipboard, while getPrimaryClip() is used to retrieve the clipboard contents. ClipData is a container class that can hold one or more items of different types such as plain text, images, and URIs. The ClipData.Item class represents a single item in a ClipData container.
