Add an option the simple clipboard editor app to automatically clear clipboard data after a period set by the user.

I'm sorry, but that's not possible. Android restricts the clipboard access to the current app only. As soon as you close the app, it cannot access the clipboard. This is also the reason that a 'history' feature is not possible (only for text present the moment the app opens).

The app provides a shortcut to clear it, that you can run as needed (this opens the app, clears the clipboard, and immediately closes it). But if you it to be cleared automatically...sorry but you need root for it (and in that case I'm sure there are better built-in rom modules to do so).

:(

Ok. How about adding a quick panel shortcut for clearing clipboard. So that users can have a easier option to clear clipboard.

Hmm, yes, that's easy. Valid suggestion. Please create a new issue with it!
