I know how to get text from a server with my Android phone. I want to write a utility that can grab text from a server that I'll be running and then paste that text into the current application running in the foreground on the user's phone. What is the general procedure for doing this on Android? Can a Service do this? My concern is that the user should be able to "paste" the text into any program he runs on Android. I want the user to be able to launch my my utility, keep it in the background, and at the click of a button, pop the text returned by my server into whatever foreground application is running, into the edit box that currently has input focus.
Is this possible and if so, generally how? I'm not looking for extensive handholding here, just a feasibility judgement and the general keywords or topics I need to read up on within the Android framework to get the job done. I'm also looking for any caveats such as the possibility it may not be possible to universally allow the user to pop in text from applications foreign to each other, due to sandbox or permissions issues.
