# multiversal-clipboard
Android and golang apps to share clipboard between Mac and smartphone using firebase
## Why?
Ios already has this feature with Mac os, but Android doesn't.
Using these apps we're able to have a shared clipboard between mac os and Android devices.
## Installation
- To install the Android app download the apk and install it normally. Then open the app and click on register and copy the userId.
- To install the app on Mac os just download the binary file and run it with `./multiversal-clipboard `
### Development
If you want to develop or to install with your own firebase project you need to:
- create a firebase project
- add the android app to firebase and download the google-services.json and add it in the project
- install and configure golang
- install dep (https://github.com/golang/dep)
- cd in project/go and run `dep ensure`
- create a service account key on firebase and download the json
- fill the struct in main.gop according to the json
- set the database url in main.go
## How it works?
The system uses the firebase realtime database.
On android there is a service running in background listening for changes on the userId node and on clipboard events.
In golang a cron monitors both the clipboard and the firebase database.
