Android : Getting Clipboard Data Item List

Question

I want to get all the Clipboard Data Items on the device. By the following code, I can get only the recent Clipboard data.

myClipboard = (ClipboardManager)getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);    
ClipData abc = myClipboard.getPrimaryClip();
ClipData.Item item = abc.getItemAt(0);
String text = item.getText().toString();

How can I get complete list of saved Clipborad Data as we see on the device?

Answer 1

Use getItemCount() method to obtain the number of items.

Then use the getItemAt() method to fetch the items one by one using a loop.

Example:

int n = abc.getItemCount();
for(int i=0; i < n; i++)
{
    ClipData.Item item = abc.getItemAt(i);
    String text = item.getText().toString();
}

This usually works well with DragEvent.
