if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 11) {
android.content.ClipboardManager c = (android.content.ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
  c.setPrimaryClip(ClipData.newPlainText("sinaweibo", buildShareCopyContent()));

} else {
  android.text.ClipboardManager c = (android.text.ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
c.setText(activitioncode.getText());
}
