public class Clipboard
extends GObject

The GdkClipboard object represents data shared between applications or inside an application.

To get a GdkClipboard object, use Display.getClipboard() or Display.getPrimaryClipboard(). You can find out about the data that is currently available in a clipboard using getFormats().

To make text or image data available in a clipboard, use setText(java.lang.String) or setTexture(org.gnome.gdk.Texture). For other data, you can use setContent(org.gnome.gdk.ContentProvider), which takes a ContentProvider object.

To read textual or image data from a clipboard, use readTextAsync(org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback) or readTextureAsync(org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback). For other data, use readAsync(java.lang.String[], int, org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback), which provides a GInputStream object.

Constructor Details

Clipboard

public Clipboard(MemorySegment address)

Create a Clipboard proxy instance for the provided memory address.

Parameters:

address - the memory address of the native object

Method Details

getType

public static Type getType()

Get the GType of the Clipboard class

Returns:

the GType

asParent

protected Clipboard asParent()

Returns this instance as if it were its parent type. This is mostly synonymous to the Java super keyword, but will set the native typeclass function pointers to the parent type. When overriding a native virtual method in Java, "chaining up" with super.methodName() doesn't work, because it invokes the overridden function pointer again. To chain up, call asParent().methodName(). This will call the native function pointer of this virtual method in the typeclass of the parent type.

Overrides:

asParent in class GObject

getContent

public ContentProvider getContent()

Returns the GdkContentProvider currently set on this Clipboard.

If the this Clipboard is empty or its contents are not owned by the current process, null will be returned.

Returns:

The content of a clipboard if the clipboard does not maintain any content

getDisplay

public Display getDisplay()

Gets the GdkDisplay that the clipboard was created for.

Returns:

a GdkDisplay

getFormats

public ContentFormats getFormats()

Gets the formats that the clipboard can provide its current contents in.

Returns:

The formats of the clipboard

isLocal

public boolean isLocal()

Returns if the clipboard is local.

A clipboard is considered local if it was last claimed by the running application.

Note that getContent() may return null even on a local clipboard. In this case the clipboard is empty.

Returns:

true if the clipboard is local

readAsync

public void readAsync(String[] mimeTypes,
 int ioPriority,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable Cancellable cancellable,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable AsyncReadyCallback callback)

Asynchronously requests an input stream to read the this Clipboard's contents from.

The clipboard will choose the most suitable mime type from the given list to fulfill the request, preferring the ones listed first.

Parameters:

mimeTypes - a null-terminated array of mime types to choose from

ioPriority - the I/O priority of the request

cancellable - optional GCancellable object

callback - callback to call when the request is satisfied

readFinish

public InputStream readFinish(AsyncResult result,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable Out<String> outMimeType)
                       throws GErrorException

Finishes an asynchronous clipboard read.

See readAsync(java.lang.String[], int, org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback).

Parameters:

result - a GAsyncResult

outMimeType - location to store the chosen mime type

Returns:

a GInputStream

Throws:

GErrorException - see GError

readTextAsync

public void readTextAsync(@Nullable
 @Nullable Cancellable cancellable,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable AsyncReadyCallback callback)

Asynchronously request the this Clipboard contents converted to a string.

This is a simple wrapper around readValueAsync(org.gnome.glib.Type, int, org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback). Use that function or readAsync(java.lang.String[], int, org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback) directly if you need more control over the operation.

Parameters:

cancellable - optional GCancellable object

callback - callback to call when the request is satisfied

readTextFinish

public String readTextFinish(AsyncResult result)
                      throws GErrorException

Finishes an asynchronous clipboard read.

See readTextAsync(org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback).

Parameters:

result - a GAsyncResult

Returns:

a new string

Throws:

GErrorException - see GError

readTextureAsync

public void readTextureAsync(@Nullable
 @Nullable Cancellable cancellable,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable AsyncReadyCallback callback)

Asynchronously request the this Clipboard contents converted to a GdkPixbuf.

This is a simple wrapper around readValueAsync(org.gnome.glib.Type, int, org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback). Use that function or readAsync(java.lang.String[], int, org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback) directly if you need more control over the operation.

Parameters:

cancellable - optional GCancellable object, null to ignore.

callback - callback to call when the request is satisfied

readTextureFinish

public Texture readTextureFinish(AsyncResult result)
                          throws GErrorException

Finishes an asynchronous clipboard read.

See readTextureAsync(org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback).

Parameters:

result - a GAsyncResult

Returns:

a new GdkTexture

Throws:

GErrorException - see GError

readValueAsync

public void readValueAsync(Type type,
 int ioPriority,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable Cancellable cancellable,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable AsyncReadyCallback callback)

Asynchronously request the this Clipboard contents converted to the given type.

For local clipboard contents that are available in the given GType, the value will be copied directly. Otherwise, GDK will try to use Gdk.contentDeserializeAsync(org.gnome.gio.InputStream, java.lang.String, org.gnome.glib.Type, int, org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback) to convert the clipboard's data.

Parameters:

type - a GType to read

ioPriority - the I/O priority of the request

cancellable - optional GCancellable object

callback - callback to call when the request is satisfied

readValueFinish

public Value readValueFinish(AsyncResult result)
                      throws GErrorException

Finishes an asynchronous clipboard read.

See readValueAsync(org.gnome.glib.Type, int, org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback).

Parameters:

result - a GAsyncResult

Returns:

a GValue containing the result.

Throws:

GErrorException - see GError

setContent

public boolean setContent(@Nullable
 @Nullable ContentProvider provider)

Sets a new content provider on this Clipboard.

The clipboard will claim the GdkDisplay's resources and advertise these new contents to other applications.

In the rare case of a failure, this function will return false. The clipboard will then continue reporting its old contents and ignore provider.

If the contents are read by either an external application or the this Clipboard's read functions, this Clipboard will select the best format to transfer the contents and then request that format from provider.

Parameters:

provider - the new contents of this Clipboard or null to clear the clipboard

Returns:

true if setting the clipboard succeeded

setText

public void setText(String text)

Puts the given text into the clipboard.

Parameters:

text - Text to put into the clipboard

setTexture

public void setTexture(Texture texture)

Puts the given texture into the clipboard.

Parameters:

texture - a GdkTexture to put into the clipboard

set

public void set(Value value)

Sets the this Clipboard to contain the given value.

Parameters:

value - a GValue to set

storeAsync

public void storeAsync(int ioPriority,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable Cancellable cancellable,
 @Nullable
 @Nullable AsyncReadyCallback callback)

Asynchronously instructs the this Clipboard to store its contents remotely.

If the clipboard is not local, this function does nothing but report success.

The purpose of this call is to preserve clipboard contents beyond the lifetime of an application, so this function is typically called on exit. Depending on the platform, the functionality may not be available unless a "clipboard manager" is running.

This function is called automatically when a GtkApplication is shut down, so you likely don't need to call it.

Parameters:

ioPriority - the I/O priority of the request

cancellable - optional GCancellable object

callback - callback to call when the request is satisfied

storeFinish

public boolean storeFinish(AsyncResult result)
                    throws GErrorException

Finishes an asynchronous clipboard store.

See storeAsync(int, org.gnome.gio.Cancellable, org.gnome.gio.AsyncReadyCallback).

Parameters:

result - a GAsyncResult

Returns:

true if storing was successful.

Throws:

GErrorException - see GError

onChanged

public SignalConnection<Clipboard.ChangedCallback> onChanged(Clipboard.ChangedCallback handler)

Emitted when the clipboard changes ownership.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• Clipboard.ChangedCallback.run()

emitChanged

public void emitChanged()

Emits the "changed" signal. See onChanged(org.gnome.gdk.Clipboard.ChangedCallback).

builder

public static Clipboard.Builder<? extends Clipboard.Builder> builder()

A Clipboard.Builder object constructs a Clipboard with the specified properties. Use the various set...() methods to set properties, and finish construction with Clipboard.Builder.build().
