How to detect a "copy to clipboard" event

I would like to detect the event of "copy to clipboard", so when a user, after having selected a string or url, tap on copy to clipboard.

Do you have any idea how to check this in an Android environment?

ClipboardManager.addPrimaryClipChangedListener and ClipboardManager.getText() are deprecated. New solution:

val clipboardManager = context.getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
clipboardManager.addPrimaryClipChangedListener {
    val clipboardAsText = clipboardManager.primaryClip?.getItemAt(0)?.text
    if (clipboardAsText != null) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "Text in clipboard: $clipboardAsText", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    }
}

  @Override
