Clipboard API

Copy text to the Android clipboard and read clipboard content from your web app via JavaScript.

The WebViewGold Clipboard API provides a simple and secure way to access the device clipboard contents from within your WebView-based app. This serves as an alternative to relying on native WebView clipboard access, offering more reliability across platforms and updates.

Use Cases:

• Pre-filling form fields with copied data
• Enhancing user flows in authentication, note-taking, or sharing apps
• Creating quick paste features or clipboard history tools

How to Retrieve Clipboard Content:

To access the clipboard data, use the following call:

<a href="getclipboard://">Get Clipboard Data</a>
<a href="#" onClick="alert(clipboarddata);">Show Clipboard Data</a>

• Get Clipboard Data: Triggers the native clipboard read functionality.
• Show Clipboard Data: Displays the result stored in the clipboarddata JavaScript variable.

Technical Note: Once getclipboard:// is triggered, WebViewGold automatically injects the clipboard content into the clipboarddata JavaScript variable on the page, making it accessible for any further actions.
