Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 
Ok. So am I correct to assume that the cut and paste will be expanded on an app by app basis? In otherwords cut and paste does not depend on the Jolla phone updates but the developer of the app implementing that feature. The way it is done on the android app is nice in that a long press gives you two brackets to surround the text you want to copy or cut. Also I still think transfering text between android and Jolla apps would be good. Just need to create tmp file with r/w access for both. Andoroid does have access to some files under Nemo. For example I have the Android app Poweramp playing videos stored in Nemo/Videos.

No, I don't think it will require apps to be changed. It's a system wide change. The two standouts however might be the browser which is a wrapper on gecko and Android.

copy & paste between native and android apps worked from the first version, it has the same limitation like between native apps: you need a text field to copy.

I think this is pretty much the root cause. IIRC the same limitation was already there in QtQuick 1.0/1.1 and the Harmattan Qt Components had some pretty horrible hacks to work around it. So Silica will most probably have to do something similar, at least until the Qt upstream adds the needed bits (no idea if that is planed or someone is working on it).

Hi Leinad. Are you sure this is correct? If I copy text from android and then try to paste it in a native (Jolla) app the only thing I can paste is what was previoulsy in the clipboard when using a Jolla app.
I'm sure I'm about to have a "Doh!" moment but how do you do it? Thanks!

Hmmm, doesn't work either way for me. What did you copy from and to? Might help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

Doing wrong? Copy and paste is not somethimg you should figure out. The system doing it wrong. And lets hope we get copy and paste soon.

for me it worked with every combination of apps i tried, even complete sms. but you need to use the paste button on the keyboard, not the Android paste button.

Assuming this is an offical answer then it is app by app!
