I have a recyclerview with adapter (to show external strings)and I'm trying to click a button "copy" so that it copies the strings in view to the clipboard.
CardLayout.xml Button to use as copy button is android:id="@+id/copyactivity"

And this is my TaskAdapter.kt
package com.example.what2do_v6.Adapter
import android.content.ClipData
import android.content.ClipboardManager
import android.content.Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE
import android.view.LayoutInflater
import android.view.View
import android.view.ViewGroup
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.TextView
import android.widget.Toast
import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat.getSystemService
import androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
import com.example.what2do_v6.Model.TaskResponse
import com.example.what2do_v6.R
import com.example.what2do_v6.Repository.TaskRepository
import com.example.what2do_v6.databinding.CardLayoutBinding
import com.example.what2do_v6.ui.CardLayout
import android.content.Context as ContentContext
class TaskAdapter: RecyclerView.Adapter<TaskAdapter.TaskViewHolder>() {
override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): TaskViewHolder {
val layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context)
val binding = CardLayoutBinding.inflate(layoutInflater, parent, false)
return TaskViewHolder(binding)
}
override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: TaskViewHolder, position: Int) {
holder.bind(TaskRepository.list[position])
}
override fun getItemCount(): Int {
return TaskRepository.list.size
}
class TaskViewHolder(private val binding: CardLayoutBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root){
var bCopyText: Button? = null
fun bind(task: TaskResponse) {
binding.idActivityName.text = task.title
binding.idActivityDescription.text = task.description
bCopyText = findViewById<View>(R.id.copyactivity) as Button
val clipboardManager = getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
bCopyText!!.setOnClickListener {
val clipData = ClipData.newPlainText("", task.description,)
clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData)
Toast.makeText(RecyclerView, "message...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
private fun getSystemService(clipboardService: String): Any {
}
}
}
There are two lines in my code that are throwing up problems:
bCopyText = findViewById<View>(R.id.copyactivity) as Button
and
Toast.makeText(RecyclerView, "message...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
I've tried different variances of the two above lines and research many articles on StackOverflow but with no winner, can anyone help?
Managed to get this working utilising help from Gobu:
class TaskViewHolder(private val binding: CardLayoutBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root){
fun bind(task: TaskResponse) {
binding.idActivityName.text = task.title
binding.idActivityDescription.text = task.description
binding.copyactivity
binding.copyactivity.setOnClickListener {
val clipboardManager = itemView.context.getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
val clipData = ClipData.newPlainText("", task.title +"\n\n" + task.description)
clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData)
Toast.makeText(itemView.context, "Activity copied to clipboard", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
