Cannot copy and paste

Solved

Hi,

today I tried to copy the current coordinates (long press the coordinates) or the cache details and paste them to Chrome and OneNote. In both occasions Locus showed a notification saying, that the text has been copied to the clipboard, but both times the clipboard was empty.

I also tried to copy the current coordinates and then paste them into Locus again. Locus tells me, that there is no text in the clipboard.

Doing it the other way round, copying something in Chrome and pasting it into Locus does not work either. However, I'm able to past the same text into FieldNotes Pro Addon.

Has anything been changed here?

Good day,

interesting. Did this work anytime time before? If I remember, there were no changea s for very very long time.

What Android device (and version) you have?

Hi Menion,


it was working before, I just don't know when it stopped to do so. I use a Samsung S7 edge with LOS 14.1.

Hi,

today I came across this article: https://www.xda-developers.com/stop-apps-reading-android-clipboard/ which explains how to add or remove clipboard permissions from an Android app using adb shell.

I tried it and Locus Map was the only app on my phone which had permissions "ignore" for both, reading and writing the clipboard.

I don't know how this happened, but after setting them to "allow" everything is fine again.

Regards,

Andreas

Hello,

this is really interesting information and to be true, I'm really glad you found it and solved it. I tried yesterday install LineOS on my SGS2 device, but ended with partial brick and need to restore previous ROM, so I rather let it be :).

Locus itself does not define mentioned android.permission.READ_CLIPBOARD permission because I never had to worry (till now probably). I'll keep this in mind and wait if any other user of new LineageOs will report the same issue.

Thanks!
