I want to get notified if the user copies something to the clipboard.
I created a service and started it in the HomeActivity, also I write a timer to check if my service is working. I checked and my service is working Log cat shows that. But my listener method is not working what I'm missing here?
ClipBoardWatcherService:
public class ClipBoardWatcherService extends Service {
private final String tag = "FameThings";
private ClipboardManager.OnPrimaryClipChangedListener listener = new ClipboardManager.OnPrimaryClipChangedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrimaryClipChanged() {
performClipBoardCheck();
}
};
public static void start(Context context) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, ClipBoardWatcherService.class);
context.startService(i);
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
((ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE)).addPrimaryClipChangedListener(this.listener);
new Timer().scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask(){
@Override
public void run(){
Log.i("tag", "A Kiss every 5 seconds");
}
},0,5000);
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
return START_STICKY;
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
private void performClipBoardCheck() {
ClipboardManager cb = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
if(cb.hasPrimaryClip()) {
ClipData cd = cb.getPrimaryClip();
if(cd.getDescription().hasMimeType(ClipDescription.MIMETYPE_TEXT_URILIST)) {
Log.i(tag, cd.getDescription().toString());
}
}
}
}
HomeActivity:
public class HomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
//...
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//...
ClipBoardWatcherService.start(this);
//...
}
//...
}
Manifest:
<service
android:label="ClipBoard Listener"
android:exported="false"
android:name=".service.ClipBoardWatcherService" />
I launched my app and opened the Youtube App and I opened up a video and then I clicked on the share button and then clicked on the "Copy" button but nothing logged on LogCat, only my timer is working. LogCat:

Android Q: If the application is not the default IME or does not have input focus this return null. the same as OnPrimaryClipChangedListener.
