Hi All,

I apologize if this exists somewhere already but I couldn't find it.

I am running Android 4.0.4 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and using Android SDK API 19 (the latest?)

My problem is with the Clipboard library. When I use the [clipboardname].clrText function, it only adds a blank entry to the clipboard rather than clearing it.

I need a function to obliterate the clipboard contents. Any ideas? Thanks!

What is multi-clipboard? Normally the clipboard only stores a single item.

Hi Erel,

From what I can gather, this clipboard is a Samsung feature. When you touch a text field in which to paste, you also have a button to open the clipboard, which contains a 'history' of copied snippets. By default, the most recent item is pasted.

The .clrText function only places a blank at the most recent position. This unfortunately does not prevent the clipboard history from being viewed.

Maybe some library can be created for the Samsungs? ;)

Thanks again,
Rich

Samsung has their own mobile SDK, might it be with that? I'll upload it if you think that will help.
