couldnt it just do it but ask for permission? So auto pasting password managers would just be one extra click
The solution is to make the old API freeze the app and pop up a modal confirmation each time it's used.
-
-
users should have the option in the confirmation to whitelist the app for trusted apps that are used frequently.
-
Yes, but the option to whitelist should be clearly labeled "allow app to read clipboard at any time".
-
API level change is the ideal way to deal with it, with a long wait before actually adding legacy annoyance.
-
Need to be Google to take that approach though, or at least convince them to do that (which would be hard).
-
My thought is just get KB apps implementing via-KB paste then switch the old clipboard to be always-empty.
-
The point being that normal applications don't have to use any new API. Only keyboard apps do.
