I would like to have a clipboard changed event. So that when another app puts something on the clipboard, that my app can pick it up and do something with it.

For instance, if a device has a hardware scanner that scans barcodes and puts the result on the clipboard, our app should get the read barcode.

I have tried to use my old code for the change event ((AddPrimaryClipChangedListener)) together with Clipboard, but then the changed event is no longer triggered.

Kind regards,
Saskia

Researched a bit:

• Android: Use the Manager Listener
• UWP: Easy event to register for docs
  *iOS: Need NSNotificationCenter Observer

API:

public static event EventHandler<ClipboardChangedEventArgs> ClipboardChanged;

 public class ClipboardChangedEventArgs: EventArgs
    {

    }

We don't need to return any information in the eventargs, because our API should return this. It is a generic clipboard changed, we don't know if it is text or other items....
