Other devices can only access the clipboard through a keyboard app. For the purposes of this guide, we’ll be focusing on using the clipboard with a keyboard app. This method will work on any Android device. First, you’ll need a keyboard app that has a clipboard feature. Two popular choices are Google’s Gboard and Microsoft’s SwiftKey. The clipboard isn't a file. Its contents are stored in the computer's memory. To use its contents, simply go to the program you want to use it in, click the place where you want it to be put, and press Ctrl-V (paste).

Provides static methods that facilitate transferring data to and from the system Clipboard.
Microsoft Clipboard Android App
Examples
The following example shows how to add data to the system Clipboard.
Remarks
All applications for Windows share the system Clipboard, so the contents are subject to change when you switch to another application.
For a list of predefined formats available to use with the Clipboard class, see the DataFormats class.
Security Alert: For security purposes, the following points should be kept in mind.
Paste operations need to be user initiated (Ctrl-V, Paste Menu).
Copy can only be on user selected content.
On copy or cut, partial trust code puts plaintext and Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) on to the clipboard. Plaintext includes text, Unicode text, OEM (Object Exchange Model) text, and CSV (Comma-separated values).
On paste, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) will paste in Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) if the source of that content is from a equally trusted or more trusted site. Specifically:
A partial trust application can paste Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) from a full trust application.
A partial trust application can paste Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) from a partial trust application.
A full trust application can paste XAML only from another fully trusted application.
A non-Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) full trust application can examine the ApplicationTrust format on the clipboard and sanitize the XAML if appropriate.
