In this article, we will explore Android 13’s new clipboard UI, as well as privacy improvements 📋
Android 13 introduces a new UI for confirmation whenever data is added to the clipboard.
This new confirmation includes the following features
- ✅ Confirms the content was successfully copied.
- Provides a preview of the copied content.
Copy sensitive content to the clipboard
- ClipData’s ClipDescription must be flagged if the app allows users to copy sensitive information to the clipboard.
A flag to pass to Clipdata’s clip description to flag sensitive content:
ClipDescription.EXTRA_IS_SENSITIVE
- This should be done before calling
setPrimaryClip(ClipData clip)
