Bug ID: 436329
Summary: The clipboard sync may not work and users are not
aware on why
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Android
OS: Android 11.x
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: andresbs2...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
As shown in the Graphene OS FAQ:
https://grapheneos.org/faq#clipboard
Quote:
"As of Android 10, only the configured default input method editor (your
keyboard of choice) and the currently focused app can access the clipboard.
Apps without focus cannot access the clipboard. This is a stricter restriction
than preventing apps in the background from accessing it, since an app in the
foreground or a foreground service cannot access it, only the foreground app
that's currently focused. Clipboard managers need to be implemented by the
keyboard chosen as the default by the user."
There is no message printing a similar warning when the clipboard feature is
enabled (note that it is enabled by default).
I can confirm the behavior is as described above - the clipboard feature only
works when the app is in focus (didn't try setting it as a default method).
The KDE Connect app can still write into the clipboard (e.g. sync clipboard to
the phone when copying text in the laptop).
