Summary:

This has come up in a few discussions lately, including:

...and feedback from another user:

I would have found it very useful if I would have been able to:

Copy text from the "STATUS MENU," or any other I would say. 

I actually got frustrated with not being able to copy the coordinates. Was using in conjunction with "GeoPaparazzi"JFYI...... 

Android Oreo 8 (Samsung Galaxy S9) 

We currently have a "Share" icon that pops up in the top action bar after you get a fix, which will give you a lot of options to share a URL formatted for GeoHack, which is a meta-formatter for a lot of different services (including OSM and Google Maps):

https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?params=29.72629576;-81.9470374

One of the share options is also "Copy to clipboard", which will copy the URL to the clipboard.

But it seems users also prefer having a quick copy/paste solution from within the app

Steps to reproduce:

Try to copy/paste coordinates after a fix from within the Status screen

Expected behavior:

Allow me to copy/paste coordinates

Observed behavior:

You can't copy/paste coordinates

Device and Android version:

N/A

You could change the layout a bit, i.e, move the latitude and longitude to same TableRow element.

The coordinates can be copied easily by now adding a onClickListener to this TableRow and formatting a string with coordinates and pushing it to ClipboardManager service as ClipData

With 99e0419, now you can simply tap on the top card and it will automatically copy your location to the clipboard.
