Clipboard is very useful feature because you can use it for copying and getting data.
I like use it in my application. Here I am going to show how you can use it in your situation.
There are several simple steps.
At first need to initialize ClipBoardManager:
ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
Then you can put data to the clipboard by setText method call
clipboard.setText("Text to copy");For getting data need to call method getText
String data = clipboard.getText();
Also it is possible to check whether there is any data into clipboard or not
boolean isData = clipboard.hasText();
As you can see,use clipboard in Android is very simple.
Is it useful information for you?

How do you get notified when something is copied into the clipboard ?
There is no standard approach.
You should use hasText() method when you want to check if text is in clipboard.
For notification I think you need to have Thread which will check result of hasText(),if true then show notification.
In my point of view it is great question and I will investigate it more deeply. If I find correct approach I will post it.
I found that there has implemented one clipboard in the build-in browser on Android,but how to operate it? It looks like it can be copied but cannot be pasted.
Hello.
You can paste copied data. Just hold field in which you want to insert copied data and you should see Paste context menu item.
