Get Selected ChipGroup Chip Text Into Clipboard Using Onclick Listener

Question

How to get the selected Chip item text from ChipGroup via OnclickListener. Here's what I've done so far. I'm not able toe get the selected item to the ClipBoard:

            for(int i=0; i<tagsJsonArray.length();i++){
                try {
                    String tag;
                    tag = tagsJsonArray.getString(i);
                    LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(YTTags.this);
                    Chip chip = (Chip) inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_tag,null,false);
                    chip.setText(tag);
                    chip.setClickable(true);
                    chip.setCheckable(true);
                    chipGroup.addView(chip);
                    chip.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(View v) {

                            ClipboardManager copytag = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
                            ClipData clip = ClipData.newPlainText("tag", "Hi");
                            copytag.setPrimaryClip(clip);
                            Toast.makeText(YTTags.this, "Copied",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        }
                    });
                }catch (JSONException e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }

Onclick listener word fine and copies the dummy text that I've set in the ClipData clip. But I want to access the chip item text.

otherwise, you can try ClipboardManager https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/ClipboardManager — itsrajon, Apr 27 '20 at 11:09
No, I mean chip item onclick even. How do I access the chip item Text string? — Andrew, Apr 27 '20 at 11:10

this may help you!

public void onClick(View v) {
    ChipGroup chg = findViewById(R.id.chipGroup);
    int chipsCount = chg.getChildCount();

    int i = 0;
    while (i < chipsCount) {
      Chip chip = (Chip) chg.getChildAt(i);
      if (chip.isChecked() ) {
         msg += chip.getText().toString() + " " ;  
      }
      i++;
    }; 
    // show message here
}
