How to make copyable Text Widget in Flutter?
You can use a SnackBar
to notify the user about the copy.
Here is a relevant code:
String _copy = "Copy Me";
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final key = new GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>();
return new Scaffold(
key: key,
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text("Copy"),
centerTitle: true,
),
body:
new Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
new GestureDetector(
child: new Text(_copy),
onLongPress: () {
Clipboard.setData(new ClipboardData(text: _copy));
key.currentState.showSnackBar(
new SnackBar(content: new Text("Copied to Clipboard"),));
},
),
new TextField(
decoration: new InputDecoration(hintText: "Paste Here")),
]),
);
}
EDIT
I was working on something and I did the followin, so I thought of revisiting this answer:
import "package:flutter/material.dart";
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
void main() {
runApp(new MaterialApp(home: new MyApp(),
));
}
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_MyAppState createState() => new _MyAppState();
}
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
String _copy = "Copy Me";
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final key = new GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>();
return new Scaffold(
key: key,
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text("Copy"),
centerTitle: true,
),
body:
new Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
new GestureDetector(
child: new CustomToolTip(text: "My Copyable Text"),
onTap: () {
},
),
new TextField(
decoration: new InputDecoration(hintText: "Paste Here")),
]),
);
}
}
class CustomToolTip extends StatelessWidget {
String text;
CustomToolTip({this.text});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new GestureDetector(
child: new Tooltip(preferBelow: false,
message: "Copy", child: new Text(text)),
onTap: () {
Clipboard.setData(new ClipboardData(text: text));
},
);
}
}
Since Flutter 1.9 you can use
SelectableText("Lorem ipsum...")
When text is selected the "Copy" context button will appear.
