  • How to copy text from a div to clipboard

    5 answers



I am currently struggling with copying to clipboard via jQuery.



The code I have works if I use via on-click="Myfunction", but since I need to use it in several places, I would like to apply the function to all elements with a class. This is what I have tried.






$(".btn-clipboard").click(function(e)
 copyToClipboard($(this));
);

function copyToClipboard(element) 
 var $temp = $("<textarea>");
 $("body").append($temp);
 $temp.val($(element).siblings("code").text()).select();
 document.execCommand("copy");
 $temp.remove();
;

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="bd-clipboard">
 <button class="btn-clipboard" title="" data-original-title="Copy to clipboard" >Copy</button>
</div>
<figure>
 <pre>
 <code class="language-html" data-lang="html"><br>
 <span> code example that should be copied</span>
 </code>
 </pre>
</figure>

  • Not sure if it will make any difference, put you're passing in $(this) to a parameter element and then wrapping it up again as $(element)

As with some other actions in a browser (like opening a new window), the copy to clipboard can only be done via a specific user action (like a mouse click). For example, it cannot be done via a timer.



Here's a code example:






document.getElementById("copyButton").addEventListener("click", function() 
 copyToClipboard(document.getElementById("copyTarget"));
);

function copyToClipboard(elem) 
input 
 width: 400px;

<input type="text" id="copyTarget" value="Text to Copy"> <button id="copyButton">Copy</button><br><br>
<input type="text" placeholder="Click here and press Ctrl-V to see clipboard contents">

Use pre created SQLite database for Android project in kotlin

Image
0 I am trying to use an already existing sqLite database in my android app. I have verified that it is loaded into the project in the assets folder and I can browse it in DB browser when I open it directly from the project. This is the schema for the table I am trying to query CREATE TABLE "ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL" ( `_ID` INTEGER NOT NULL, `ACT_NAME` VARCHAR NOT NULL, `ACT_CODE` VARCHAR, `IS_ACTIVE` INTEGER DEFAULT -1, PRIMARY KEY(`_ID`) ) Below is the activity that creates the sqlite helper and then on a button click I execute a query on the ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL. When the query is executed this exception is thrown: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such table: ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL (code 1 SQLITE_ERROR): , while compiling: SELECT * FROM ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL class CalendarActivity : AppCompatActivity() { private var cursor:Cursor? = null override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState:Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.calendar_activity...
