Native Copy & Paste functions?
Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Native Copy & Paste functions?

I am working on a utility app at the mo and wondered if anyone has tried to use the copy and paste functions of iOS or Android, I would like to copy text from a Monkey app and make it available to paste in other apps. Thanks. |

Thats going to be tricky to say the least... I guess you are using DrawText or a module to display your text on screen, if so I dont think you will be able to do it, since you are drawing them and not using a native widget. |

I have not looked into it yet, but I am hoping there are some Native functions that can be accessed to push a string into the copy buffer... |

For Android, check here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/text/copy-paste.html ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); ClipData clip = ClipData.newPlainText("simple text","Hello, World!"); clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip); |
