Question

This is my code:

Button copy;
Button previous;
Button more;
TextView screen;
String quote=screen.getText().toString();

I need the button copy to copy the value of the variable quote. How can I do this? I’ve tried:

ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); 
clipboard.setText(screen.getText());

but it works only on Android 4.0+ devices.

Answer 1

I think your import is wrong.

Use

import android.text.ClipboardManager ;

and not

import android.content.ClipboardManager; // this was instroduced only in API level 11
