Windows Phone 8.1 Copy text to clipboard

Question

I am creating a Windows Phone 8.1 XAML / C # application. I'm not quite sure how to copy text to the clipboard. Clipboard API is not supported. Has anyone come across such a scenario? If so, could you share an idea? This is one of the most requested features for my application. Please, help.

I tried using the DataPackage code as well as the Clipboard code only for the try. Both did not work. I know about the Silverlight platform support for the Clipboard APIs. But I believe that there should be a workaround. Otherwise, I will need to transfer the entire application to SL only for this function.

Answer 1

As you mentioned, you tried DataPackage and Clipboard but did not work. Can you try the same code again by looking at the link below that provides basic information about DataPackage and CLipboard.

Edit:

There is no 8.1 support in the clipboard. You must use Silverlight, but do not want to.

Answer 3

I talked with dev support, and it ended up with the clipboard API only available for Silverlight applications, not RT applications. Therefore, I removed this from the proposed feature set and relied entirely on SHARE data for third-party applications.
