<![CDATA[Qt 6 for Android. Do not show "sharing" menu when copying from memory to clipboard with QClipboard. How?]]>Hello all!

Trying to get rid of Android "sharing" menu when copying from memory to clipboard with QClipboard->setText("SomeText"). When copying text to clipboard Android showing "sharing" menu automatically. Is there any way to prohibit showing "sharing" menu?

Do this only through native Java/Kotlin code, not through QClipboard
Build the ClipData yourself via JNI and add to it:

PersistableBundle extras = new PersistableBundle();
extras.putBoolean(ClipDescription.EXTRA_IS_SENSITIVE, true);
clipData.getDescription().setExtras(extras);

This is only available starting from API 33.

  1. Using QAndroidJniObject / QJniObject
