CopyClip Utility

The CopyClip utility is an Android executable available in 32 and 64 bit. It enables you to copy text from a shell into the Android clipboard. Of course it may be invoked over adb shell enabling the quick transfer of text snippets from a desktop to an Android device. It can style the text with -b (bold) and/or -i (italic).

CopyClip should be installed as /data/local/tmp/copyclip (regardless of it being 32 or 64 bit). It should be chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/copyclip. This works with Unicode strings.

Examples of CopyClip

# /data/local/tmp/copyclip 'Hello there'

# date | /data/local/tmp/copyclip -b

C:\>adb shell "/data/local/tmp/copyclip 'Hello there'"
