Is it possible to capture paste event from ClipboardManager? I am able to get copied data using method onPrimaryClipChanged() of ClipboardManager.OnPrimaryClipChangedListener.
The question is in context to an app which uses Accessibility API.

I need to capture the moment as soon as it is pasted anywhere i.e. irrespective of application. – Riteeka Chhabra Jan 19 '18 at 09:50

Thanks for your efforts, but this doesn't solve the purpose as i may be dealing with any other app a user can have in his device e.g. google chrome, where i think i can-not get the view as EditText. – Riteeka Chhabra Jan 19 '18 at 10:16

Digging further, I found the Paste event is captured in AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_CHANGED.
TYPE_VIEW_TEXT_CHANGED, is an event type which can be handled while extending AccessibilityService.
Posting answer, Just in case it help someone else, as i approximately Spent a day to achieve it.
