Slint v1.5 Android: Using .copy() and other clipboard methods on LineEdit component.

[CM-IV]

I have a password generation Slint app that I use in GNU/Linux that has three buttons, one for generating the password via the Rust backend, the second button for copying the password text to clipboard via the .copy() function for a read-only LineEdit component, and the third button just sets the password as an empty string - clearing the LineEdit.

This doesn't work on Android which makes sense as a completely different backend is being used via slint::android.

How can I get this working if I want to copy the text of a LineEdit component on Android - via android_activity and AndroidApp?

This is not yet implemented yes. I've filled issue #4865

We would need to implement the trait method clipboard_text and set_clipboard_text in

slint/internal/backends/android-activity/lib.rs

Line 89 in 3aafce2

impl i_slint_core::platform::Platform for AndroidPlatform {

and call into java (in SlintAndroidJavaHelper.java) to get the clipboard with something like this: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ClipboardManager

Does this works on Windows ? And if yes , how ? Looking to get the "paste()" working on LineEdit. Thanks

Yes, this should work on windows.
I guess the best is to continue the discussion in #4910
