    text
    copied!<p>My app with two activities is targeted to run on Android 4 or above. <strong>Activity 1</strong> displays a Webview, and <strong>Activity 2</strong> consists of a Listview and an EditText.</p> <p>I would like to programmatically send/export any text copied in the Webview of <strong>Activity 1</strong> to the EditText of <strong>Activity 2</strong> once a button is pressed. </p> <p>To make it clear, my purpose is to create a button to listen to any text copied to clipboard. When the button is pressed, Activity 2 will be called and the text in clipboard will be sent/pasted to the EditText (edtbox) of Activity 2</p> <p>So far, I have applied the following code lines:</p> <p>Activity 1 (on button clicked):</p> <pre><code>ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); clipboard.setText("Text to copy"); clipboard.getText(); Intent i = new Intent(Activity1.this, Activity2.class); Bundle bundle=new Bundle(); bundle.putString("clipboard", "Android"); i.putExtras(bundle); startActivity(i); </code></pre> <p>Activity 2 (under onCreate): </p> <pre><code>Bundle bundle=getIntent().getExtras(); if(bundle !=null) { String name=bundle.getString("clipboard"); EditText edttxt=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.edtbox); edttxt.setText(name); } </code></pre> <p>However, Activity 2 fails to be loaded and Eclipse throws a crash. I guess I haven't sent clipboard text to EditText of Activity 2 but don't know how to do.</p> <p>I wonder whether you guys can help me to solve this problem. Thank you very much in advance.</p> <p>=====</p> <p><strong>UPDATED:</strong></p> <p>Here is the <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15034088/Others/Temps/logcat.rtf" rel="nofollow">Eclipse LogCat</a>:</p>
