New version of Simple Clipboard Editor (V 1.4)

V 1.4
- New shortcut to clear the clipboard directly without opening the app
- Setting to disable automatic sync
- New translation to Portuguese (Brazil) thanks to mezysinc!
- New translation to Spanish
- Fix launcher icon not shown in older android versions

---

 

Two new translations! mezysinc sent me the translation to Portuguese/Brazil, and I also made the spanish one.

A new shortcut to clear the clipboard without even opening the app (for privacy reasons I guess). On some launchers it can be accessed by long pressing the app icon, and you can even drag it to the home screen for faster access.

And a new setting to disable the automatic synchronization. When disabled, two new buttons to set/get the clipboard data will be shown

Oh, and I also added the launcher icon as png, unfortunately the svg one is only used on newer android versions.

- Clipboard button always enabled (removed automatic background check)

---

 

Update: A fix version was published to fix the Signal/Telegram toggles not working if the link was the last element of the switch label (it made the detection logic miss-detect the toggle as part of the link).

 

• New! Light theme (or at least what Android calls 'light'). Adding themes had been a hard and very file-heavy thing to do, but android 4.0 made it a bit easier. Since I'm now using that version I was able to add a toggle between 'light/default' themes with just a couple lines of code! This version doesn't have an 'automatic' mode yet, but I'm considering it for the next version.

• New! Other messaging apps support, because Telegram added it recently and people were requesting it. Their implementation is horrible (if the phone can't be opened it does absolutely nothing), a phone number is not required for a Telegram account (you can remove it) and in order for this feature to work you need to explicitly enable it on Telegram settings. Basically: this is useless. But in some very very rare cases it may be useful, so I added it as experimental, disabled by default, and a big warning is shown when you try to enable it, hopefully people won't complain (they will). The implementation only works for the 'open' feature and may work inconsistently with some openable modes, hopefully next version will improve this and enable the other features (share, shortcut, etc) too. Oh, and it turns out that Signal also have this feature. If the number doesn't have signal it allows sending an sms, but if the number is invalid it also 'just' displays the main screen without any error message (c'mon devs, wasn't WhatsApp the worst option? it isn't here). No warning this time, but marked as experimental too. (And yes, I know that Signal allows opening any number directly from their app, but all the extra logic was already coded for Telegram so...).

 

•  Removed: Due to the recent Play Store changes you can no longer "add text or images that indicate store performance or ranking, or suggest relations to existing Google Play programs in the app title". You can't, for example, add "#1", "best" or "free". However, you can't also add "no ads". The app is still free without any ads and as small as possible, but I can't say that in the title anymore, thanks Google 😒

 

• Changed: The clipboard is now an always-available button that will only ask for the clipboard content when the user request it. Previously you could request listening to clipboard changes, and the app used it to enable/disable the button dynamically. On Android 12 a big warning is shown when any app reads the Clipboard, including this automatic feature, so in order to not scare users all developers are removing it.
  

There were also other minor updates and a big refactor in how translations are managed, nothing a normal user should notice (but translators will have a bit easier to see the real changes).

Important! This new version will take longer than usual to be available (blame Google and their manually-reviewed restrictions)
