Is it possible to detect when an Android user uses the copy and/or cut functionality?
I have a client who's idea pretty much depends on being able to call a method inside the app whenever a user copies or cuts out a piece of text or an image, no matter whether the user is actually inside the app or not (though the app would be running in the background).
My initial guess would be no, but you never know. I haven't been able to find any clear information about it, so thought I should ask.

Not exactly. You can listen for changes in the clipboard using ClipboardManager. However:
Changes in the clipboard do not always imply "copy and/or cut" operations
You can only listen for such changes while your process is running

If any unknown number call on my phone, the phone should not ring usually it will when contact is saved.
Can the unknown call be picked in background without noticing and a pre-recorded voice should be spoken to person opposite side.
Please mention if can be done on both iOS and android or anyone or none.
Thanks for Help.
Both operating systems will not allow you to do that. 1st point is somehow possible in Android but 2nd one is almost impossible to do in both platforms.
Apple dont allows to intercept most of their system APIs by some 3rd party

i want to contribute to a fandom i'm in and also practice my coding, so i wanted to make an app that would let the user keep track of the event stories they've read. but i don't know where to start with this.
i can add extra features like scoring and total stories read later on, but for now i need an idea of where to start. i think i've heard java would work for this? but would that even work on android and ios both??
once i know what programming language to use i need to find something to code this on, as well as how to even hold information in a database. (similar to myanimelist and how it has a database of entries that you can add to your own list.) likely with a login system--but one step at a time.
what are the basics i need to know to start? and where would i build this app? thank you!
If you want a single application that can work on both ios and android then go for Flutter or React Native. For your question regarding where to keep database and how login system works you will need to study at-least one of the systems in some depth.

I'm not very experienced with developing app/tools, but I really want to develop (if practically possible) a tool that would notify the owner of the Google Drive folder of the information related to someone else accessing the folder (assuming that the folder is shared with that someone) such as, Access Date/Time, Accessed By etc. In my opinion, this would only be done if the user/owner has the tool/app opened/switched on.
I was reading the Google Drive API but couldn't find anything useful on this.
I'd like to know how to get started with this project, if this is even possible? I'm not very experienced but I want to learn as I grow.
I recommend going though the Google Drive API. When set up correctly Changes.watch will notify you when ever a file has been changed the trick for you will then be to notify your user.
Alternative would be to just check the file every now and then and see if it had been changed using file.get. However this is probably over kill depending upon how soon after the change you want to know about it.
I am not an android dev so cant help you much more then that. Your question is rather broad so once you start working with it if you have any issues getting it working I recommend you ask a new question directly related to those issues. Welcome to stack

I am new to android. I am currently looking for developing a android application which quickly needs to enable my application.
It may be pressing a power button or volume button in a specific pattern or taping the screen continuously.
I doesn't want to use the screen light on or off since it activates my application for some random reason.
Android does not have a built in feature that lets you run an application by pressing the hardware keys.
A possible solution would be to run a service that intercept the volume keys (https://stackoverflow.com/a/7130685/2804473). This solution will probably be too intrusive for the end user though.
I would not recommend your proposed idea. Instead, play by the given "rules" that the Android environment provides. You might want to use a Widget instead? If the hardware-trigger is that important, maybe you should take a look at accessories such as Pressy (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pressy.app) or similar?

Is there any method or way to check that user is writing text whether in whatsapp, or messaging, or any edit text.
No, not supported by Android. It might be possible if you go on a lower level using NDK, but the short answer is, there is no easy way.
The basis of this answer is how Java works, each application runs in a virtual environment and thus they can not interact with each other directly.
If you really want to achieve this (However there will probably be limited usage, such as only rooted devices) I would suggest to start search the web with keylogger android as keywords.
