Add supprt for Android's clipboard

This is hanging up Bevy_egui(and presumable Egui itself) on Android.

This actually looks like it doesn't line up with the github repo, so this might be fixed already?

Hey there, thanks for asking. Do you mean that there's no clipboard exported by this crate when compiling for an Android OS target? If so, that's intentional for now. None of the backends support it. We'd need some JNI glue code to get that working.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. We recently restructured the code but it wouldn't fix your issue.

Is there a plan to add android support?

I do not have any concrete plans or timelines for adding Android support, but I would review and help test a pull request doing so. If nothing comes from an external contribution, I will eventually port our internal Android clipboard code into arboard instead but it is not something thats on my active priority list.
