Answer 1

To avoid the exception

[FATAL EXCEPTION: GLThread 6132  java.lang.RuntimeException: 
Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare() ], 

-> just create the ClipboardManager once at startup, for example in your onCreate() method and use it anytime in a separate function.

tested working on 2.3.3 and 4.0.3:

import android.text.ClipboardManager;
import android.content.ClipData;
..
public class myActivity extends Activity
{
  private static ClipboardManager m_ClipboardManager;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(..)
  {
    ...
   m_ClipboardManager = (ClipboardManager)     m_sInstance.getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE); 
  }

  public static void myCopyToClipBoard(String sTxt)
  {
    m_ClipboardManager.setText(sTxt);
  }
}
