Got it. I've just found that app it's super. I've been cutting and pasting into a word document as I find info so that I can locate it quickly later.

This makes life a little ... lot easier.

Just one comment. It would be useful if one could add their own comments. Potentially could be shared or just for your self.

Sometimes especially since I'm new to programing I give myself an explanation in a way that I'll remember the functionality better. It would be good if I could attach that comment and also search it.

thanks for the pointer :sign0161:

Interesting idea. Thanks.

Are there docs for this somewhere?

Yeah, it needed documentation. I had to read the XML file...

         dim something as BClipboard

to copy

         something.clrText 
         something.settext(TextToCopy)

to paste

         something.getText

to check if there is text in the clipboard

         something.hasText

My xml2bb script shows very little reference for this library:

Version: 0

• BClipboard
  Methods:
  • clrText
  • getText As String
  • hasText As Boolean
  • setText (text As String)

Hi together,

i ask me, how big (megabytes) a text may be to set it in the Clipboard or to get it from the Clipboard.
I know there are limits based on the physical size of the device.

I tested with this code:

    Dim s As String
 
    s = ""
 
    For i = 1 To 1024
 
        s = s & "1"
 
    Next
 
    ' ................... 1 kb
 
    Dim t As String
 
    For i = 1 To 1024
 
        t = t & s
 
    Next
 
    ' ................... 1 MB
 
    Dim u As String
 
    For i = 1 To 5
 
        u = u & t
 
    Next
 
    ' ..................... 5 MB
 
    Dim c As BClipboard
 
    c.setText(u)
 
    ' ....................... Scheint zu klappen!

    Dim x As String
 
    x = c.getText
 
    Dim k As Int
 
    k = x.Length
 
    Msgbox ("Größe: " & k, "Hm...")

The MsgBox shows a value of 5553.
But this is not a size of 5 Megabytes.

Who can helps here? - Thx all in advance.

Best regards
ARTsoft

BTW, you should use StringBuilder instead of string when you concatenate many strings.

On the device I tested it, it failed to set the text when it was larger than 1mb. I don't think that the limit is documented anywhere.

thanks for this library, it works very well.

This lib still works for the SDK 26+. On Android 32 and 64bits?

 

[Erel]

No need to guess about 64 bit. There are very few libraries that will not work with 64 bits and those are the libraries that depend on native binaries: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/list-of-64-bit-librarys-for-b4a.106129/#post-664470

The library should work.

Thank you very much!
