Directly on the code: (corresponding class: Android.content.ClipboardManager)

                // get Clipboard Manager:                Clipboardmanager cm = (clipboardmanager) Getsystemservice (context.clipboard_service);                 // Create a normal character type Clipdata                Clipdata mclipdata = Clipdata.newplaintext ("Label"" here is the text to be copied " );                 // put the Clipdata content in the system Clipboard.                 Cm.setprimaryclip (mclipdata);

The above code can put the text on the Clipboard, and then find an input box "paste" on the line ~
