Copy an api key on mobile.

[darkassassin07 652]

Decided to update embystat to the new version implementing api keys, and found I couldn't copy the api key from emby while on a mobile device. (I tend to manage my server from android via RDP and FTP)

 

I tried from both the emby for android app as well as chrome android, and for whatever reason neither one would let me long-press to select text and copy the api key. I ended up switching back and fourth between embystat and emby to manually type out the key.

 

 

Not a major thing by any means, but worth a look when you guys get a chance

Hi, yes it's a good idea. Thanks.

+1 for this, been trying the last 5 min and found this thread googling for a solution

I'm not able to copy API keys from desktop version either.  Clicking a key doesn't do anything.  Long-clicking on a key doesn't do anything.  Right clicking does nothing, and I can't just highlight text either.

On desktop you would use normal copy and paste button or CTRL-C to copy and CTRL-V to paste.

Right clicking opens our custom context menu.

I know this wont help the majority but if you have a samsung phone with the edge bar software activated (or spen direct) and need to do it urgently you can use the rectangle select tool select the api key then click extract text and this will give you your api key

Obviously a copy on mobile feature would be a good feature to have to be fair so +1

 

By the way obviously not all the api key is shown here but you open up the rectangle tool and then rotate phone landscape, make your selection and job done

And now i will change my api keys lol

I'm adding a copy to clipboard context menu command to help with this.
