Clipboard data returns null when MainActivity is not active in top view activity when I click the button in Android java
I read this restriction about android10 and higher, but my activity is not a background service. I need to get clipboard data when I click on the button located in the top view activity like the Google Translate application. In my case, the clipboard returns null when MainActivity is not active.

public class MainActivity extends BridgeActivity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Initializes the Bridge
this.init(savedInstanceState, new ArrayList<Class<? extends Plugin>>() {{
// Additional plugins you've installed go here
// Ex: add(TotallyAwesomePlugin.class);
}});
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, FloatingWindow.class));
}
}
public class FloatingWindow extends Activity {
// ... additional code ....
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
floatingButtonDefinedInClass.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
try {
self.getClipboardText();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
public void getClipboardText() throws IOException {
try {
ClipboardManager myClipboard = (ClipboardManager)getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
ClipData clipData = myClipboard.getPrimaryClip();
if(clipData != null) {
text = (String) clipData.getItemAt(0).getText();
System.out.println(text); // returns null when mainactivity is not active
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// ... additional code ....
}
