How to retrieve the Context object of Android in BeeWare Python to manipulate the clipboard?

[mymane1433223]

I am using BeeWare to develop Android applications in Python.

I want to call Android's clipboard API in Python, for example:

from android.content import Context, ClipboardManager, ClipData
clipboard = context.getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE)
clip = ClipData.newPlainText("label", "12345")
clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip)

The problem is that I don't know how to get the context object in Python. In Java/Android, I can use this (Activity) or getApplianceContext(), but what should I do in the BeeWare environment of Python?

You can use app._impl.native, where app is your toga.App object. Within the App class, this will usually be written as self.
