Is there any convenient way to copy text to the computer from an Android app when running the app in debug mode from IntelliJ?
To be clear, I want to add a button in my app that when tapped copies a string from the app, running on a physical device attached by USB, to the clipboard of the computer that's running the app in debug mode in IntelliJ.
Of course I could log the string, but it's a huge JSON string and I am too lazy to select the string and copy it manually from the log output dozens of times per day (and potentially have to remove hundreds of line breaks each time).
When running on an emulator, it's easy because the emulator and host computer can share the same clipboard. Can something similar be achieved when running on a real device?

On you host (assuming you have netcat and pbcopy available, if not install them or search for replacements):
adb reverse tcp:1234 tcp:1234
nc -l 1234 | pbcopy
then, on your device
echo 'hello clipboard' | nc localhost 1234
once executed your host's clipboard contains
hello clipboard
you can do this from your app as well.
