Use ClipBoardManager's setText method:

String StrTemp  = txtDetails.getText();
btnCopyToClipBoard.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
        ClipData clip = ClipData.newPlainText("label", StrTemp);
        clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip);
    }
});

use global class extends Application for example:

public class G extends Application

And Call In manifiest

and use

public static Context               context;

// OnCreate
context = getApplicationContext();

And Then Change That Line As:

 ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) G.context.getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);

Or Use

ClipboardManager clipboard = (ClipboardManager) getContext().getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
