Waydroid Clipboard Copy/Paste over UT not working

developerbayman

Yeah UT just needs full python support alot of linux software is just too dependant on python libraries to go without

arubislander

@developerbayman "full python support" is problematic as that would increase the image size to more than is available in the cache partition of some devices. This would impact the ability of those devices to install full image updates.
But adding select packages to the base image for better operation of bundled software is worth suggesting via an issue or a PR.

developerbayman

@arubislander if thays the case i say just add pip and let users get what they need pip only like 20mb (something like that shouldnt be to much)

developerbayman

And to im not sure what exactly python-minimal vs python entails ....is it missing syntax?? .....

developerbayman

@arubislander i wonder an app kinda like waydroid helper but for python giving many options allowing users to maintain storage concerns

arubislander

@developerbayman I know next to nothing about python. Would pip work completely in userspace? If it would require remounting r/w to be useful, then less incentive to have it pre-installed, as the user could install it themselves after making the filesystem r/w, which they would need to do anyway.

arubislander

@developerbayman As a developer tool? It still remains to be seen if developing on the device is a viable, and enjoyable, option.

arubislander

@developerbayman I suppose minimal libraries.m installed.

Have you already tried the chroot route?

developerbayman

@arubislander it should you can even run it in virtual environments just add it to the system path

developerbayman

@arubislander i have not yet however .....im more excited about this conversation

developerbayman

@arubislander im kinda hung up on this idea of a helper app but the irony here is i would use python .....im gonna try my hand at qt .....do you know if there is a github repo for waydroid helper im going to check because it would provide a perfect template .....ik assuming its in qt

developerbayman

Ok so its in python qml and cmake ......im gonna see if i can whip something up but it my be a min as the learning curve got a little bendy

developerbayman

Ok so i cloned waydroid helper and later ill start to convert this to python .....im not feeling the best right now .....maybe the best route for control of install location what type of environment what version ect

developerbayman

Although im not sure how far im gonna get because python on termux is kinda broken and was part of the reason i was griping about python earlier

developerbayman

@arubislander my favorite is aide for android apps on android ......i love android for web development ksweb and code editor gives me a fully functional lamp stack that is the easiest to use out of everything slap on a keyboard and mouse heaven but thats android wth UT i envision a similair future but is all in the execution

developerbayman

I would love to upload my python ide to openstore once i get it finished up (our conversations today inspired me to add new features) i think it would be greatly enjoyed by all

developerbayman

Also i should prob hold off until the python issue is resolved in case i need to make any compatibility adjustments

@developerbayman Hi, is there anything new on this issue ?

So to get clipboard working you need to install python? How to do that?

gandalf

I got pyclip installed but it's not enough or working. Don't do this at home

I'm on a fairphone 4 / OTA1 and followed this bug report https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/309

cd Downloads
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3 get-pip.py --prefix=/usr/local
sudo pip install pyclip
sudo apt-get update
sudo install wl-clipboard

Starting waydroid removes all these errors:

waydroidclipboard: Received transaction: 2
Could not setup clipboard

But copy/paste still doesn't work. It does crash the apps I tried it with (firefox/whatsapp). Then again copy-paste between firefox and whatsapp doesn't seem to work at all without those packages installed either...
