Broadcast receiver

Question

I want to make a simple service (which will work in the background), when any user copies something from a browser or SMS, etc., there will be a toast showing that the text

I have this code that gives a toast when there is a phone call

public class MyPhoneReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Bundle extras = intent.getExtras(); if (extras != null) { // this code is for to accept the telephone call String state = extras.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE); if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) { String phoneNumber = extras.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER); Toast.makeText(context, phoneNumber, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } } } } 

and this code in manifest.xml

 <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"></action> 

Now this code says to send the state of the phone to the myreciever class, now I want to get the text from the clipboard manager. is there any intent.action state that intent.action class can call when someone copies text.

Any help or code would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Since the intent is Action on the clipboard, you will need to create a broadcast receiver to start when your application starts, when the device boots first. Then start the clipboard status monitoring service.

This is a PERFECT project in Google code that will show you exactly what to do.

Answer 2

I agree with "coder_For_Life22": "Since now there is the intention of Action for the clipboard ...".
I found two ways to monitor the clipboard:
1-way, like what coder_For_Life22 says.
2-Using the ClipboardManager.OnPrimaryClipChangedListener () method.
But both of them have problems :
In the first case, if the user copies a word, for example, “Text,” and then (even after sometimes in another application) copy the same word again, you will not be able to detect it.
The second way is a solution for using android 3.0 api 11 and not lower.
