Copy to clipboard using commonsware cwac-richedit library

Question

I'm currently trying to use the https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-richedit library which work when it's come to Formatting. However, I'm currently trying to copy text out of the richedittext seems to not work. As a feedback from the clipboard, I do receive a Toast message saying "Already Exists".

The LogCat give me an error as well "ClipboardServiceEx Fail set data".

I'm using the library on android 4.2 and without the Actionbar sherlock.

Any Idea ?

Thanks.

While I do not get the Toast that you describe in a 4.2 emulator, I can reproduce the problem with copying text -- nothing seems to make it to the clipboard.

I have filed an issue to track this, though my plate is a bit full right now, so it will be some time before I will be able to work to resolve this. That will be as part of an overall revamp of this library, which is old and dusty.
