I recently faced a similar problem. Here's how I handled it.

int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
if (currentapiVersion >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
     android.content.ClipboardManager clipboard =  (android.content.ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); 
        ClipData clip = ClipData.newPlainText("label", "Text to Copy");
        clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip); 
} else{
    android.text.ClipboardManager clipboard = (android.text.ClipboardManager)getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); 
    clipboard.setText("Text to Copy");
}
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Text copied to clipboard", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

I'm not entirely sure if the first if block is necessary. But I'd rather not take a chance :)
