How to use unity java calls to access clipboard

Questions & Answers

My attempt at accessing the clipboard on android is not working.
I’m surprised GUIUtility.systemCopyBuffer doesn’t seem to work on android.

This is the java code I need to run in unity.

 ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); 
 ClipData clip = ClipData.newPlainText(label, text);
 clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip);

Im not quite sure how use to the getSystemService method with the Unity java object functionality

Here is my attempt that isn’t working. I don’t have android debugging working at the moment so just wondering if anyone knows offhand how to do this?

AndroidJavaObject clipboard = new AndroidJavaObject("java.lang.Object").Call("getSystemService", new AndroidJavaClass("CLIPBOARD_SERVICE"));
AndroidJavaObject clipData = new AndroidJavaObject("android.content.ClipData", "field value", selectedGameobject.GetComponent<Text>().text);
clipboard.Call("setPrimaryClip", clipData);

Im pretty sure the second and third lines would work as expected it’s just the first line.

@gheeler I found It in https://github.com/mtsalenc/toaster

GUIUtility.systemCopyBuffer = str;
		#if UNITY_ANDROID
		AndroidJavaClass UnityPlayer = new AndroidJavaClass ("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer");
		AndroidJavaObject currentActivity = UnityPlayer.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject> ("currentActivity"); 
		AndroidJavaClass Context = new AndroidJavaClass ("android.content.Context");
		AndroidJavaObject CLIPBOARD_SERVICE = Context.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject> ("CLIPBOARD_SERVICE");
		AndroidJavaObject clipboardMgr = currentActivity.Call<AndroidJavaObject> ("getSystemService", CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
		AndroidJavaClass ClipData = new AndroidJavaClass ("android.content.ClipData");
		AndroidJavaObject clipData = ClipData.CallStatic<AndroidJavaObject> ("newPlainText", "simple text", str);
		clipboardMgr.Call ("setPrimaryClip", clipData);
		#endif
