```
        class ClipboardListener implements
        ClipboardManager.OnPrimaryClipChangedListener {
        public void onPrimaryClipChanged() {
        ClipboardManager clipBoard = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
        CharSequence pasteData = "";
        ClipData.Item item = clipBoard.getPrimaryClip().getItemAt(0);
        pasteData = item.getText();
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "copied val=" + pasteData,
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
