Dealing with deprecated android.text.ClipboardManager


I ended up just using the old way (android.text.ClipboardManager and the code from this answer), along with a couple @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") annotations.


Referring to this answer:

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("text label", "text to clip");clipboardManager.setPrimaryClip(clipData);} else {final android.text.ClipboardManager clipboardManager = (android.text.ClipboardManager) context        .getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);clipboardManager.setText("text to clip");}


Explicitly:

    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")    android.text.ClipboardManager clipboard = (android.text.ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);    clipboard.setText(shareViaSMSBody);

Since this has to keep working on older devices, it is likely that the deprecated code will not be removed from Android.
