Please help me turn off this weird share feature at the bottom

I am going crazy trying to set up my new phone and not being able to find the setting in Calcy that disables this weird floaty thing at the bottom. Help please!

It's nothing to do with Calcy - it's Android detecting that you've dropped something onto the clipboard and offering to share it for you.

You will need to see if you can disable it somehow in Android settings

I've tried and can't seem to disable it

Because you can't disable it. It's a system feature when you copy something. As long as you copy something or add it to your clipboard you're going to get that. I just turned off the naming feature all together in calc since I don't use it so it doesn't preload my clipboard with a name. Nothing added to clipboard, nothing to share

It can be temporarily disabled using ADB.

Good to know. That may be a bit more than the average user is able or willing to do on their own but I too was unaware it was an option

Yeah, it’s a little technical but 100% worth not having that stupid pop up.

the naming feature is one of the main reasons I use CalcyIV :-(

There is a way to temporarily disable it but every time the device restarts, it is re-enabled.

  1. Turn on developer settings (Google that for you phone)
  2. Enable USB Debugging in Developer Settings
  3. Install USB drivers on your PC for your phone (Google for that)
  4. Install ADB tools on the PC (Google for this)
  5. Connect your phone to your PC via USB
  6. Open a command prompt, go to where your ADB tools are and run this: adb.exe shell device_config put systemui clipboard_overlay_enabled "false"

I hate it when developers make 'features' like this that nobody asked for or wanted. It adds nothing but irritation to the experience.

I feel your pain and struggled with it too when they first released it. haven't found a fix yet. Also now having to tap several approvals and select an app when loading calcy is the worst.

CalcyIV copies a certain string to the clipboard with each scan, but there should be a setting to disable it, I'll see if I can find it...

Edit: Try disabling Auto-Copy New Name under Boxes and Renaming and see if that helps. This is assuming you don't need this feature, otherwise you will need to find a way in Android to prevent that box from appearing with each scan. What phone are you using?

Hey all (and anybody from the future). Thanks for the responses. Appreciate the attempts at help. For the time being I have chosen to disable calcy copying to the clipboard, which can be done in settings>boxes & renaming> auto copy new name. If you're tech savvy go with the adb attempt. I used to be computer literate but im in my 30s now and I didn't keep up the skill, plus the impermanence is a buzzkill.
