Description
Access a database of your commonly typed phrases with Android’s first “text expansion” app!Whether you’re browsing the web or writing an email, you can access Textspansion by long-pressing your device’s search button to access your database. Clicking on the desired phrase will immediately copy it into your device’s clipboard and send you back to what you were working on. From there you can paste it where you like! Store anything you like into the app that you want to be accessible!
Future features:
- Encrypting the exported xml file
- Support for Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich
- Gesture recognition to open the app
- Opens a dialog on top of the app you were on previously
What's up with the name? Textspansion is a portmanteau of "text" and "expansion". It was originally inspired by TextExpander (by Smile Software, LLC.). Due to OS restrictions, we can't have our app actively detect keyboard input. The "short name" was inspired to be the text snippet that the app recognizes to expand.

No easy expansion Having to constantly copy and paste gets old, immediate expansion of shortcuts would be fantastic.

More like Quick Copy and Paste Probably as close as you're going to get to true as-you-type text expansion. Option to long press the search button to bring up pre-saved clips is very convenient.

Most of the way to awesome Thanx! I'd be willing to pay for it if I could merely type the "short version" (ex: jjj), and it replace that with the "long version." Keep it up!

Great app Adds efficiency and functionality to android. With cm7 i've set it to long press of menu since swiftkey allows a gesture for hiding the keyboard
