JavaSecurityException using ClipData on Android

I am trying to paste text using ClipData on Android. The following code gives a java.lang.SecurityException. This does not happen all of the time. Should I declare any uses-permission to read the clipboard?

Solution

  • This question is fixed to my project, but to everyone who whants to know, this is how I fix.

    First I figured out when this error happens. It was when I don't have any text in clipboard and my application tried to go to external storage and the error was thrown.

    Then to fix that I just change my method to verify has a text inside clipboard.

    It was like that:

    ClipboardManager clipboard = getManager(context);
ClipData clip = clipboard.getPrimaryClip();
return clip != null && clip.getItemCount() > 0;

    Then it was like that:

    ClipboardManager clipboard = getManager(context);
clipboard.getPrimaryClipDescription().hasMimeType(ClipDescription.MIMETYPE_TEXT_PLAIN);
