Clipy

Have you ever wondered how it would be, to just copy on one device and then paste it directly onto another...!

Well only a very few operating systems have this feature and only a few applications are there to support the connection between your phone and pc

Now I have created an application through which you can just paste some text and using the same application on another device you can just paste it

Well isn't it helpful !!!

I started setting up Firebase realtime database for this project and using "Admin Database API" for the API calls for saving and retrieving data using python and sending and recieving data in json

The data that is copied in one device stays intact onto the clipboard, to get that information - use pyperclip

pip install pyperclip

It has basic function to copy and paste the latest content that is on the clipboard, similar way I used it to copy the content from clipboard and paste it onto database and then on other device just copy the content from database.

def paste_data(): # paste data into the database.

# As an admin, the app has access to read and write all data, regradless of Security Rules

    textp = pc.paste()
    # ref.set(textp)
    data  = {
        'text' : textp
    }
    json_object = json.dumps(data, indent = 1)
    ref.push(json_object)

***Note: For inserting lists of data i hade to add a rule on thhat perticular child I was sending data to as ".indexOn" : "text"... here text was refering to the .valueOn

For Desktop interface I used python to develop the display

And later on I converted it into executable file as:

Keep this on the first line of the file you want to convert as executable

#!/usr/bin/env python3

Then just open the terminal and go the folder where the file is stored and then type:

chmod +x display.py

That's it, your file is now execuatble. If you want to check it then in termianl just type:

./your-file-name.py

To make it into a Desktop Application just create a file on your desktop with the name "my-file.desktop" and in it:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=name-you-want-to-display
Exec=folder-path/my-file.py
Icon=folder-path/my-file-icon.png
Type=Application

For Linux

Now just right click on the file you saved on desktop and click on "Allow Launching"... and now it's ready to be launched

The next phase is craeting an app that could do the same process of sending and retrieving the data from firebase realtime-database

I created a basic app layout using android studio

For backend... Connect the app to firebase databse by accessing you firebase project and adding it in the firebase interface and also installing the dependencies

Transfer and retrieval of data is better in json
