How do I know when a user copied something to the clipboard in Android?

Question

Is there any event that I can handle in android when the user copied something to the clipboard?

For example, when a user clicks a copy on an Android system, you’ll see a toast that “You did it”

thanks

Yes

You can use OnPrimaryClipChangedListenerfrom ClipboardManagerclass in Android.

Look this

EDIT: Example:

class ClipboardListener implements ClipboardManager.OnPrimaryClipChangedListener
{
   public void onPrimaryClipChanged()
   {
      // use getPrimaryClip() to get the data or simply display a toast
   }
}

ClipboardManager clipBoard = (ClipboardManager)getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
clipBoard.addPrimaryClipChangedListener( new ClipboardListener() );
