ClipBoardManager Android .... NoClassdefFoundException

Question

I'm developping an android application, and a need to copy text (from listView item) to the clipboard in order to paste it in an editText.

So copy function looks like :

 ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
 clipboard.setText("String to copy");

However, an exception is fired on the first line :

04-12 15:08:59.101:
E/AndroidRuntime(25406): java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.content.ClipboardManager

I've googled it, but i found no working answers.

Thanks for replies

Answer 1

Check the package of ClipboardManager.

One is from android.text package, and the other is from android.content package.

android.content.ClipboardManager is only available on API level 11 and up. I am guessing thats the reason for this error.

So, you for running your code on older phones, you should use android.text.ClipboardManager
