Change holder.itemView.context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE with Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE and Add holder.itemView.context.getSystemService instead of simple getSystemService

        val clipboardManager = holder.itemView.context.getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
        val clipData = ClipData.newPlainText("text", "1234567890")
        clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData)
        Toast.makeText(holder.itemView.context, "Text copied to clipboard", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
