For copied text the obvious way is to use the system "clipboard". That's what it's for, to copy text strings from one app and paste them into another. I'm sure you can make your app automatically access the clipboard when you switch focus to it(*), you'd anyway have to use the normal select and copy features to put things into the clipboard, so the thing that's missing is your preferred UI of "dragging" the selected text onto your button. That however I can't help with, since I don't actually develop for Android.

(*) Of course whether I'd want an app that automatically accesses anything that's in the clipboard whenever I open it, without any interaction from me, is a different question. There are potential privacy issues there, e.g. if someone uses the clipboard to copy a password or bank account number it probably won't occur to them that your app could grab those data if they haven't cleared the clipboard or replaced its contents before they next opened your app. But you would probably not be unique in doing this, as I believe I've read that clipboard security in Android is less than stellar.

That's an Apple app, "Photo Ring" and not "Photoring". But is there an Android counterpart?

But I didn't see it, not even after scrolling four Google search pages of Etsy & Ebay sales, and pages of DIY crafting photo rings.

Pee before you go.

i can't make it, but i'll take your money

Good! Just because you use an Android device, there's no obligation to use Google's online services with it. I use OneDrive myself, and I don't even use Windows. I have Android devices and Apple Macbooks.

I had a neighbor who has all of my devices hacked 3 years ago. Between synched emails and plugging my phone's & tablet into my laptop, I'm still not sure how he did it all, but he destroyed me financially & the aftershocks still lives.
Now, I just got a brand new phone, and its giving me problems (I posted earlier about that) Now, I can't get NORTON on my laptop. (I was using them just because of the discount from Comcast & Lifelock) I have every reason to have PTSD after what I went thru.
PS I meant Geek Squad to have my devices checked again and protection installed. I havnt had a device WITHOUT hacking issues in years. But my judge of character is getting better.

Texas. Now there's some change.

Once Flashlight came out I was out of basic training. I did K9 and air base ground defense by the next year. Deep in the heart of Texas... clap,clap,clap,clap.

But I do dislike CDs, especially the players.

My God, a fingerprint and the disc will ski ski ski ski ski ski skip skip skip e e e e e e e e e eve eve eve eve even wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo worse than the vinyl records they were supposed to replace!!!

No kidding, about 7-8 years ago I took an in home inventory of my working tape deck vs. working CD players...

at that time I had a total of 14 working cassette decks and 5 working CD/DVD players.

I had no broken cassette decks and about 5 non functional disc players.

Now I have much less, but just from memory I have 9 working tape decks, and only 3 working disc players.

I don't keep anything like that around. I only bought a CD/DVD drive for a job I had to do. And I have absolutely no interest in using cassettes these days, apart from watching some YouTube videos about them.

There are apps out there that allow you to look into apps that are not open source.

This can be done legitimately for educational purposes.

But it is definitly not ok to modify the app and then provide it to others in any way, shape, or form.

MTK is an excellent file manager that has such features.

Of course, you would really need to already know what you are looking for, and where to find it within the apk of the app.

Use Chrome if you want-
I found it to be slow, insecure, intrusive, and basically a pest.

Anyway, glad you figured out a way to work it out.

How do you know you have no use for it?

Obviously some app you have downloaded is requesting it, and you are missing out on whatever features that app can provide when it is allowed accessibility.

From the sound of your description, it seems to me that you are using Greenify or another app to close other apps when the screen goes off.

In order for this to function properly, you do indeed need to allow such an app accessibility.

From your homescreen (devices- and therefore pathways to these settings, and their names- may vary)...

Settings
Accessibility

Here you should see a headline of 'Services'.
These are the apps that you have downloaded that can use the accessibility service.

Below those are the built in system options that are also under the Accessibility area.

There are some neat things here, and now that you know where they are, you can explore them.

The next time you get the message (if it is Greenify, then it will appear when the screen awakens, or when you unlock the device) go into Accessibility and allow each app in turn (unless my guess is correct about it being Greenify- then just allow that), then replicate what you did before the message appeared.

Eventually you will allow the right one, and the message will cease.

Early adopter blues.

Maybe my situation and solution might give you some insight that could help...

I was very disappointed when Google to the Google Photos folder out of Google Drive. I lived with it for a while but finally got fed up. I take a photo on my phone, it automatically gets uploaded to Google Photos. I compose an email in Outlook, click the button to attach a file to the email, there's no way to attach the photo I took without going to Google Photos Website, finding the photo then downloading it first.

I solved the problem. I'm a big Google/Android person. Most people are either an Apple ecosystem person, a Google/Android person, a Microsoft person (OneDrive) or an Amazon ecosystem person. But unfortunately in this case, Google, you lost me.

I dumped Google photos last night and switched to Amazon Photos and am SO much happier. I now have my Photos syncing back to my PC like it used to be before Google shot themselves in the foot by removing the Google Photos folder from Google Drive. One intention may be to create a stronger long-term relationship as once you don't have the ability to access your photos via file folders like you can with all your other documents (PDFs, Word Processing, Spreadsheet, etc) it's not as straigtforward to move things around and organize things let alone move to another service.

Here's the trick, when you setup Amazon Photos on your PIC, it wants to set it up as a Backup, not a Sync. That's fine if you don't mind when you want to delete something you have to manually delete it both on the PC side and on the Amazon side. What I did was:

1) First downloaded all my photos from Google via Takeout. Of course Google makes their own folder structure which was fine.
2) Searched for and deleted all the json files that Google includes and the Trash folder
3) Installed Amazon Photos and after setting it up, I removed the backup folders for Pictures and Videos it created (I can't remember if you can avoid doing this at install, I think it automatically finds the folders on your PC and adds them)
4) Enable Sync in Amazon Photos and sync your Pictures folder on Amazon to wherever you want on your PC (mine ended up being D:\Amazon Drive\Pictures as I selected D:\ as the local location to sync with)
5) Copy all the folders I downloaded from Google Takeout into the D:\Amazon Drive\Pictures
6) Download the Amazon Photos app on my Android phone and turn on automatic uploads (unless you want to manually select which photos from your phone are uploaded.) What is interesting, and kind of nice, is it puts the photos from your device in it's own subfolder under Pictures. But when you view your Pictures from Amazon Photos on the Web it's just like Google Photos in that it organizes by location, date, album with robust search.

Now if I add or delete a photo on Amazon Photos via Web, via app on my phone, or via my PC, it deletes/adds the photo everywhere inlcuding the local folders on my PC. So the D:\Amazon Drive\Pictures folder is always in sync and I can easily access my photos from any Windows app directly from that folder and don't have to mess with accessing them through the Amazon Photos website and download them. I can also access my photos when I don't have an Internet connection.

Another benefit is if you need a lot of storage (which I do), their 1 TB plan is $6.99 at Amazon as opposed to $9.99 and Google. A much better solution all around. And there are other benefits too. Sorry Google, you're not the best at Photo storage anymore. Ran across this too:

Hello,

I wish to change the Samsung a40's sensitivity to step counting. I have already done this once but cannot find the setting now.
Can any one advise.

do you have samsung health? maybe it is in there.

yeah there is no dev community for your phone which means there is no root method. even if there was one, with no dev community, there will not be much to do with your phone, once rooted.

just remember no dev=no fun.

next time pick a phone that has support from developers, if you plan on rooting it.

Not sure if anything built in but the Google Phone app or Google Voice are some options

Thanks. Installing the Outlook app was th solution for me. I simply replaced Gmail and synched my POP business account in the Outlook app and it's a great solution.
