I want to copy a value from my app and paste it any other place of the same app or outside of the app.

I already looked for an answer in this thread:

So I used Clipboard.SetText(txtClipboard.Text); and added using System.Windows.Forms; and using System.Windows; namespaces. But, I am getting an error:

clipboard does not exist in the current context.

Any nuget package need for this?

Thanks in advance

There is a clipboard plugin for Xamarin (supported platforms are iOS, Mac, Android, UWP and Gtk#). It supports saving text to and getting it from the clipboard in a cross-platform way. The NuGet package is available here.

To set text

CrossClipboard.Current.SetText("my clipboard text");

To get text

string clipboardText = await CrossClipboard.Current.GetTextAsync();
