to:
import Clipboard from '@react-native-clipboard/clipboard';
import React, {useState} from 'react';
import {
SafeAreaView,
View,
Text,
TouchableOpacity,
StyleSheet,
} from 'react-native';
import Clipboard from '@react-native-clipboard/clipboard';
const App = () => {
const [copiedText, setCopiedText] = useState('');
const copyToClipboard = () => {
Clipboard.setString('hello world');
};
const fetchCopiedText = async () => {
const text = await Clipboard.getString();
setCopiedText(text);
};
return (
<SafeAreaView style={{flex: 1}}>
<View style={styles.container}>
<TouchableOpacity onPress={copyToClipboard}>
<Text>Click here to copy to Clipboard</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
<TouchableOpacity onPress={fetchCopiedText}>
<Text>View copied text</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
<Text style={styles.copiedText}>{copiedText}</Text>
</View>
</SafeAreaView>
);
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
