Android Question copy text(msg) from whatsapp app to my_app

[GudEvil]

I am in need of scenario as

copy whatsapp/vibe/third-party app text msg to my_app.

Say user sent me bank account no/address/name/any detail, I got to save/copy this info to my app.

any idea how it can be designed or any library.

I know intent does that but we cant modify third-party app to do this...

My thoughts (still looking for more info)
1) once text is copied, can we use floating wizard to add copied text to my-app
2) once text is copied in android, event is generated in notification drawer n we copy from a there
(something similar to music player notification drawer idea)
3)manually copy n open my-app n paste is workable, but doesnt look ideal...can be better.

Any ref/idea/suggestion welcome..

There is no intent or system event when the user copies text.

You can use an ongoing notification and then when the user opens your app from the notification get the text from the clipboard.

Hi,

Just set a clipboard Listener and do whatever you want to do with the copied text.

Sample Code is HERE
