Clipboardmanager Within Custom List Adapter

Question

Want to implement an onClickListener within a custom list adapter that will copy from a textView of the listView using Clipboard. I have tried the code shown below but I always get a null when I tried to click on the textView in the listView. The application crashes and the stack trace is as follows:

        at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:754)

Here is part of my code:

private Activity activity;
    private LayoutInflater inflater;
    private List<FeedItem> feedItems;
    private ListView listView;
    Context context;

public FeedListAdapter(Activity activity, List<FeedItem> feedItems) {
    this.activity = activity;
    this.feedItems = feedItems;
    session = new SessionManager(activity.getApplicationContext());
    //this.context = context;
}
public FeedListAdapter(Context context){
    this.context = context;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    retu

rn feedItems.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int location) {
        return feedItems.get(location);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {



    //        session = new SessionManager(MediaActivity.class);
                if (inflater == null)

                inflater = (LayoutInflater) activity
                        .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            if (convertView == null)
                convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.feed_item, null);

            if (imageLoader == null)
                imageLoader = AppController.getInstance().getImageLoader();

            final TextView statusMsg = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.txtStatusMsg);

            final FeedItem item = feedItems.get(position);
    statusMsg.setTextIsSelectable(true);

 statusMsg.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
                    final android.content.ClipboardManager clipboardManager = (android.content.ClipboardManager) context
                            .getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
                    final android.content.ClipData clipData = android.content.ClipData
                            .newPlainText("Copy", statusMsg.getText());
                    clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData);
                    Toast.makeText(context, "Copied to clipboard", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                } else {
                    final android.text.ClipboardManager clipboardManager = (android.text.ClipboardManager) context
                            .getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
                    clipboardManager.setText(statusMsg.getText());
                    Toast.makeText(context, "Copied to clipboard", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                }



                //ClipboardManager cm = (ClipboardManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
                //cm.setText(item.getStatus());
                //Toast.makeText(context, "Copied to clipboard", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });


            // Chcek for empty status message
            if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(item.getStatus())) {
                // Making url clickable
                statusMsg.setText(item.getStatus());

                statusMsg.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);


     } else {
                    // status is empty, remove from view
                    statusMsg.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                }



return convertView;
        }

What is the right way to implement the routine above? Any help that will point me towards the answer is appreciable. Can I also make some text within the textView electable to copy and paste?

Sorry I have added the onClickListener as I omitted it early which I think was the reason my question was down voted. — Mande Kira, Jan 15 '16 at 11:47

May be it will help someone out there, what I did was to capture the contex from the view of the onClickListener(View view).

statusMsg.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                //Intent intent = new Intent(view.getContext(), MainActivity.class);
// THIS IS WHAT I DID, GET CONTEXT FROM VIEW
                context = view.getContext();

                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
                    final android.content.ClipboardManager clipboardManager = (android.content.ClipboardManager) context
                            .getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
                    final android.content.ClipData clipData = android.content.ClipData
                            .newPlainText("Copy", statusMsg.getText());
                    clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData);
                    Toast.makeText(context, "Copied to clipboard", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                } else {
                    final android.text.ClipboardManager clipboardManager = (android.text.ClipboardManager) context
                            .getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
                    clipboardManager.setText(statusMsg.getText());
                    Toast.makeText(context, "Copied to clipboard", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                }



                //ClipboardManager cm = (ClipboardManager)context.getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
                //cm.setText(item.getStatus());
                //Toast.makeText(context, "Copied to clipboard", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

Activity activity;

statusMsg .setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(View view) {
           Intent mail = new Intent(activity,yourActivity.class);
         //do what you want here
          activity.startActivity(i)
         }
      });
