Clipboard

Clipboard management plugin for Cordova/PhoneGap that supports iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 8.

Usage

The plugin creates the object cordova.plugins.clipboard with the methods copy(text, onSuccess, onError), paste(onSuccess, onError) and clear(onSuccess, onError)

Example:

var text = "Hello World!";

cordova.plugins.clipboard.copy(text);

cordova.plugins.clipboard.paste(function (text) { alert(text); });

cordova.plugins.clipboard.clear();

Notes

All platforms

• The plugin only works with text content.

iOS

• The new copyString and pasteString are specifically made for the iOS platform for its pasteboard is an object that can contain multiple data formats, in some circumstances such as in Wechat(微信), the message input box will not accept an object as its paste content but only a string value, thus the new copyString and pasteString will only set and get the string property of the pasteboard object, not the object itself.

• On other platforms the copyString and pasteString are purely aliases for copy and paste.

Windows Phone

• The Windows Phone platform doesn't allow applications to read the content of the clipboard. Using the paste method will return an error.

Android

• The minimum supported API Level is 11. Make sure that minSdkVersion is larger or equal to 11 in AndroidManifest.xml.
