copy text to clipboard by pressing a button

Hi, I am trying to copy some text to the clipboard by pressing a button.  I have found the following method on the forum: https://puravidaapps.com/snippets.php#2clipboard (clipboard.aia)  But this doesn't work for me.  When I clicked on the button to try to copy text to the clipboard, I got the message "Error 601  No corresponding activity was found."  This confused me a bit because I have downloaded the .aia file and installed the app on my phone, but it doesn't work.  Help or advice is much appreciated..

which Android device / Android version do you use for your tests?

did you try another device?

I got the same result on two android devices:

1) my phone...Star N9600 MTK6589T (Android 4.2.1)

2) my tablet...Acer A210 (Android 4.1.1)

yes, it seems to be, that this solution does not work for all Android versions

you found out, it does not work on Jellybean

I just tested on HTC Desire S running Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) and it also did not work.

it works on the following Android versions though:

✫ Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N running Android 3.2 (Honeycomb)
✫ Nexus 5 running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and I think, it also worked on Android 4.4.4 (Kitkat)

I will add a note on my webpage. Thank you.

Thanks for the info.  I hope that there is another way to do this (copy text to clipboard by pressing a button)   :)

You do know that a long click will bring up the copy menu, right?

Yes I know that will work in some apps (like Amazon Kindle), but unfortunately it does not work on the App that I made with AppInventor 2.

I read in your post about '1. use the Sharing component and the "Copy to Clipboard" action'.  Do you mind explaining a little bit more?  I have added a Sharing component to my App but I do not know how to invoke the "Copy to Clipboard" action.  (Please excuse my English because it is a second language :)  )

--

you just call the Sharing component

then the "Share with" window select "Copy to Clipboard" from the list of apps

Thanks for the explanation!

according to this stackoverflow answer How add “copy to clipboard” to custom IntentChooser? the Google Docs app must be installed on the device for this solution to work

I now updated my snippet accordingly
