ClippedData is a complex type containing one or Item instances, * each of which can hold one or more representations of an item of data. * For display to the user, it also has a label and iconic representation.

* *

Each Item instance can be one of three main classes of data: a simple * CharSequence of text, a single Intent object, or a Uri. See {@link Item} * for more details. * * *

Implementing Paste or Drop

* *

To implement a paste or drop of a ClippedData object into an application, * the application must correctly interpret the data for its use. If the {@link Item} * it contains is simple text or an Intent, there is little to be done: text * can only be interpreted as text, and an Intent will typically be used for * creating shortcuts (such as placing icons on the home screen) or other * actions. * *

If all you want is the textual representation of the clipped data, you * can use the convenience method {@link Item#coerceToText Item.coerceToText}. * *

More complicated exchanges will be done through URIs, in particular * "content:" URIs. A content URI allows the recipient of a ClippedData item * to interact closely with the ContentProvider holding the data in order to * negotiate the transfer of that data. * *

For example, here is the paste function of a simple NotePad application. * When retrieving the data from the clipboard, it can do either two things: * if the clipboard contains a URI reference to an existing note, it copies * the entire structure of the note into a new note; otherwise, it simply * coerces the clip into text and uses that as the new note's contents. * * {@sample development/samples/NotePad/src/com/example/android/notepad/NoteEditor.java * paste} * *

In many cases an application can paste various types of streams of data. For * example, an e-mail application may want to allow the user to paste an image * or other binary data as an attachment. This is accomplished through the * ContentResolver {@link ContentResolver#getStreamTypes(Uri, String)} and * {@link ContentResolver#openTypedAssetFileDescriptor(Uri, String, android.os.Bundle)} * methods. These allow a client to discover the type(s) of data that a particular * content URI can make available as a stream and retrieve the stream of data. * *

For example, the implementation of {@link Item#coerceToText Item.coerceToText} * itself uses this to try to retrieve a URI clip as a stream of text: * * {@sample frameworks/base/core/java/android/content/ClippedData.java coerceToText} * * *

Implementing Copy or Drag

* *

To be the source of a clip, the application must construct a ClippedData * object that any recipient can interpret best for their context. If the clip * is to contain a simple text, Intent, or URI, this is easy: an {@link Item} * containing the appropriate data type can be constructed and used. * *

More complicated data types require the implementation of support in * a ContentProvider for describing and generating the data for the recipient. * A common scenario is one where an application places on the clipboard the * content: URI of an object that the user has copied, with the data at that * URI consisting of a complicated structure that only other applications with * direct knowledge of the structure can use. * *

For applications that do not have intrinsic knowledge of the data structure, * the content provider holding it can make the data available as an arbitrary * number of types of data streams. This is done by implementing the * ContentProvider {@link ContentProvider#getStreamTypes(Uri, String)} and * {@link ContentProvider#openTypedAssetFile(Uri, String, android.os.Bundle)} * methods. * *

Going back to our simple NotePad application, this is the implementation * it may have to convert a single note URI (consisting of a title and the note * text) into a stream of plain text data. * * {@sample development/samples/NotePad/src/com/example/android/notepad/NotePadProvider.java * stream} * *

The copy operation in our NotePad application is now just a simple matter * of making a clip containing the URI of the note being copied: * * {@sample development/samples/NotePad/src/com/example/android/notepad/NotesList.java * copy} * *

Note if a paste operation needs this clip as text (for example to paste * into an editor), then {@link Item#coerceToText(Context)} will ask the content * provider for the clip URI as text and successfully paste the entire note. */ public class ClippedData implements Parcelable { CharSequence mLabel; Bitmap mIcon; final ArrayList mItems = new ArrayList(); /** * Description of a single item in a ClippedData. * *

The types than an individual item can currently contain are:

* * */ public static class Item { CharSequence mText; Intent mIntent; Uri mUri; /** * Create an Item consisting of a single block of (possibly styled) text. */ public Item(CharSequence text) { mText = text; } /** * Create an Item consisting of an arbitrary Intent. */ public Item(Intent intent) { mIntent = intent; } /** * Create an Item consisting of an arbitrary URI. */ public Item(Uri uri) { mUri = uri; } /** * Create a complex Item, containing multiple representations of * text, intent, and/or URI. */ public Item(CharSequence text, Intent intent, Uri uri) { mText = text; mIntent = intent; mUri = uri; } /** * Retrieve the raw text contained in this Item. */ public CharSequence getText() { return mText; } /** * Retrieve the raw Intent contained in this Item. */ public Intent getIntent() { return mIntent; } /** * Retrieve the raw URI contained in this Item. */ public Uri getUri() { return mUri; } /** * Turn this item into text, regardless of the type of data it * actually contains. * *

The algorithm for deciding what text to return is: *

* * @param context The caller's Context, from which its ContentResolver * and other things can be retrieved. * @return Returns the item's textual representation. */ //BEGIN_INCLUDE(coerceToText) public CharSequence coerceToText(Context context) { // If this Item has an explicit textual value, simply return that. if (mText != null) { return mText; } // If this Item has a URI value, try using that. if (mUri != null) { // First see if the URI can be opened as a plain text stream // (of any sub-type).
