Android Chrome custom tabs add Copy Link link in options menu

Question

How to add the option “Copy link” in the Chrome Custom Tabs options menu in Android. Adding custom menu items to CustomTabs is as follows.

CustomTabsIntent.Builder customTabsIntent = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder();

String menuItemTitle = App.s(R.string.share);
PendingIntent menuItemPendingIntent = createPendingIntentShare(url);
customTabsIntent.addMenuItem(menuItemTitle, menuItemPendingIntent);

I want to add the Copy Link option, as Twitter does in its application browser. I'm not sure how to copy a link to a Clipboard in CustomTabs.

Answer 1

Create BroadcastReceiver:

public class CustomTabsBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String url = intent.getDataString();

        Toast.makeText(context, "Copy link pressed. URL = " + url, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        //Here you can copy the URL to the clipboard
    }
}

Register it in AndroidManifest.xml:

<receiver
    android:name=".CustomTabsBroadcastReceiver"
    android:enabled="true">
</receiver>

Use this method to launch a custom tab:

private void launchCustomTab() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, CustomTabsBroadcastReceiver.class);

    String label = "Copy link";
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

    CustomTabsIntent customTabsIntent = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder()
            .addMenuItem(label, pendingIntent)
            .build();

    customTabsIntent.launchUrl(this, Uri.parse("http://www.google.it"));
}
