AirDroid 3.2 Update Adds Clipboard And Keyboard Sharing Between Phones And PCs, Skype Notification Reply Support, And More

It's no secret that we at Android Police are huge fans of AirDroid. A big part of that is because the developer is constantly updating the app with new features. So it is with the latest version, 3.2, which adds a handful of new goodies to the remote management tool. Some of these require use with an updated version of the dedicated desktop app (instead of the more popular browser version).

The coolest addition to the program is the ability to type directly into input fields on your phone with your computer's keyboard, which is now the best possible solution for typing on Android until someone releases a mechanical keyboard five inches wide.

Native Clipboard Is A Clipboard Manager With A Floating Window UI And Extra Functionality For Xposed Users

Native Clipboard Is A Clipboard Manager With A Floating Window UI And Extra Functionality For Xposed Users

Michael Crider Michael Crider

Copying and pasting is better than it used to be on Android, but it still isn't ideal - just like Windows, you can only keep one bit of text at a time saved in the "copy" cache. Also just like Windows, several apps have sprung up to improve this functionality, most notably Clipper. Native Clipboard handles most of the same functions - primarily keeping a saved history of all copied text - but adds some impressive UI tweaks to make using it even easier.

First of all, Native Clipboard lets you open its floating window my double-tapping any text field.

[APK Teardown] Google Search 3.6 Prepares For Notes 'Sent From Your Computer,' Probably Coming Soon

[APK Teardown] Google Search 3.6 Prepares For Notes 'Sent From Your Computer,' Probably Coming Soon

Cody Toombs Cody Toombs

Last week, Google pushed out an update for Google Search, bringing the version number up to 3.6.13. While it added support for deep linking into apps and a few more of the bits to make hands-free operation a little more convenient, most people probably felt like they didn't get too much out of this update. As it turns out, we found one more addition that might interest a few more people. The best part is that it's probably ready to go as soon as Google pulls the trigger!

Google is preparing to send small scraps of text over the air that will appear in your notification shade for immediate action.

Android And PC Cross-Device Clipboard Syncing Coming Soon To Pushbullet

Android And PC Cross-Device Clipboard Syncing Coming Soon To Pushbullet

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

The Pushbullet folks crank new functionality into their nifty push notification app so often that it would almost be more newsworthy if they stopped, but until that day comes, here's another cool feature that we're happy to see in the works. The ability to copy and paste across Android and Windows machines recently made an appearance in the beta version of the app, and a screenshot found its way to Google+.

From the image we can see that the feature will require users to have Pushbullet installed on both their PC and their Android phone or tablet. After users enable the functionality on both platforms, content copied to their clipboard should become immediately available across both devices.

[New App] Diigo's Copy Bubble Is Basically Link Bubble, But For Copying/Pasting And Managing Your Clipboard

[New App] Diigo's Copy Bubble Is Basically Link Bubble, But For Copying/Pasting And Managing Your Clipboard

Bertel King, Jr. Bertel King, Jr.

I don't know about you, but when I first experienced Facebook chat heads, I wanted bubbles for all the things. Paranoid Android's Halo offered this, but it didn't do anything for people with unrooted devices. So when Chris Lacy later released Link Bubble, a web browser that creates a floating bubble every time you click on a link, my desire started to look less like a pipe dream. Now developer Diigo has released Copy Bubble, a floating clipboard that fits in rather well with the aforementioned apps.

The app's single bubble floats along the edge of the screen and displays how many items you've copied to it.

[Bug-Watch] Android 4.3 - Running An App That Watches The Clipboard Will Cause Other Apps To Crash When You Copy From Them.

[Bug-Watch] Android 4.3 - Running An App That Watches The Clipboard Will Cause Other Apps To Crash When You Copy From Them.

Cody Toombs Cody Toombs

We're all happy to see Android 4.3 finally make its appearance, especially as it brings some pretty important and positive low-level improvements like Bluetooth Low Energy and TRIM support. Unfortunately, new versions often introduce new bugs that slip by even the most diligent testers. Jelly Bean 4.2 had its fair share of issues, including an almost comically bad oversight: the total annihilation of December in the stock Contacts app. This is why each major release is often followed by a couple of bug fix OTAs in the following weeks. We're going to start a running series to examine some of the bigger and more user-facing issues.

Clipper Plus Updated To v2.1, Now Has Cross-Device Sync

Clipper Plus Updated To v2.1, Now Has Cross-Device Sync

If you've been looking for a good clipboard management tool for Android, there's no better time to take a look at Clipper. The app just updated to v2.1, which brings a pretty incredible feature: cross-device syncing. This means you can copy text from one device, and paste it on another. That's just badass.

Of course, there are potential security worries with a feature of this nature – like passwords, for example. Personally, I copy passwords from KeePassDroid quite frequently, and I know Artem uses LastPass to do the same thing. Understandably, this is the type of information that no one wants shared across multiple devices through the cloud.

Tip: Drive's Latest Update Adds Global 'Copy To Clipboard' Option In The Share Menu

Tip: Drive's Latest Update Adds Global 'Copy To Clipboard' Option In The Share Menu

Cameron Summerson Cameron Summerson

When Google Drive was updated yesterday with the new native spreadsheet editor, all other aspects of the update were instantly less interesting. Now that the dust has settled and our excitement for the new editor has become more manageable, there's another nifty feature worth highlighting: the new "copy to clipboard" choice in the global share menu.

Now, when you choose to share something via the built-in option in any application, you will see an option for "copy to clipboard" - it was actually a little confusing where this new addition came from initially, but Ron notices every detail that exists in everything and immediately knew it was thanks to the Drive update.

[New App] Clip Ninja Saves Almost Everything You Type, Like A Clipboard On Steroids

[New App] Clip Ninja Saves Almost Everything You Type, Like A Clipboard On Steroids

Cameron Summerson Cameron Summerson

How many times have you typed something long, be it a URL or text message, only to accidentally erase the entire thing and have to start over? That has happened to me more times than I care to count, but thanks to a new app called Clip Ninja, that scenario could be a thing of the past.

The idea behind Clip Ninja is pretty simple: it keeps track of most things that you type. Of course, there are limitations (and in this case, that's a good thing) - it can't keep track of passwords. What it can do, though, is store all of the text that you input into any native app, which covers basically everything that you use on a daily basis.
