Answering myself: The onTextChanged is only triggered when the app is in the 
foreground, which in itself makes it impossible on a phone. Sailfish Connect 
listens for network packages and injects into the clipboard, but the event 
is only triggered when the app is in the foreground.

So basically the only way to monitor the clipboard is to poll it regularly?

I'm guessing this is old news for most; I just haven't tried to use it 
before now :)

My idea was to make an app like the Plasma Klipper app, which I use all the 
time:
