Clipboard

Use the Clipboard class to:

• Copy a text string into the system clipboard:

  copyToClipboard("Enter text to copy here");

  If you use null as the parameter, the method clears the system clipboard of text content.

• Retrieve the text contents of the system clipboard:

  String clipboardContents = copyFromClipboard();

  If the system clipboard does not contain any text, the method returns an empty string ("").

  Note: Series 40 devices do not support the copyFromClipboard method.

You can copy a text string into the system clipboard in a MIDlet and retrieve it from the clipboard in another application, and vice versa.

The Clipboard class is supported since Series 40 6th Edition FP 1 and Java Runtime 2.1 for Symbian.
