Listener for clipboard content change?

Is there a way to register a method so that it's automatically called as soon as the user ends "text selection mode" (thereby copying selection to clipboard)?

I need the exact same functionality. For the moment I'm solving this with android.text.ClipboardManager and a java Timer that checks every second if the clipboard-text has changed.

I think you're looking for ClipboardManager.addPrimaryClipChangedListener().

Edit - this is for Android 3.0, and I don't see any other clipboard-related apis in the earlier levels.

Also see the ClipboardManager docs in the copy and paste guide.

If you are using Android 3.0 you can add a listener with ClipboardManager.addPrimaryClipChangedListener().
