If an exception is thrown, the exception message might not contain the full errors. Individual failures may get added to suppressed throwables. FileUtils functions previously just returned the exception message as errmsg which did not contain full error info.
Now `Error` class has been implemented which will used to return errors, including suppressed throwables. Each `Error` object will have an error type, code, message and a list of throwables in case multiple throwables need to returned, in addition to the suppressed throwables list in each throwable.
A supportive `Errno` base class has been implemented as well which other errno classes can inherit of which some have been added. Each `Errno` object will have an error type, code and message and can be converted to an `Error` object if needed.
Requirement for `Context` object has been removed from FileUtils so that they can be called from anywhere in code instead of having to pass around `Context` objects. Previously, `string.xml` was used to store error messages in case multi language support had to be added in future since error messages are displayed to users and not just for dev usage. However, now this will have to handled in java code if needed, based on locale.
The termux related file utils have also been moved from FileUtils to TermuxFileUtils
If an exception is thrown, the exception message might not contain the full errors. Individual failures may get added to suppressed throwables which can be extracted from the exception object by calling `Throwable[] getSuppressed()`. So just logging the exception message and stacktrace may not be enough, the suppressed throwables need to be logged as well.
The Logger class will now log the suppressed throwables as well if they are found in the exception.
This was mainly a concern for FileUtils where guava MoreUtils library was used to delete directories but exceptions weren't being fully logged on failures, like bootstrap failures, so user wouldn't know what really caused the failure.
https://github.com/google/guava/blob/v30.1.1/guava/src/com/google/common/io/MoreFiles.java#L775
The FileUtils will be fixed in a future commit.
This also adds support with "log*Extended()" functions so that logcat entries longer than LOGGER_ENTRY_MAX_PAYLOAD do not get truncated by android. This is done by splitting the log message into multiple messages if the limit is crossed. This is specially necessary for logging long stacktraces, suppressed throwables and errmsg of ExecutionCommand, etc.
Github Package hosting is considered a private repository since it requires github APIs keys if a hosted library needs to be imported as a dependency. Importing from private repositories is not allowed as per F-Droid policy so termux plugin apps can't import termux libraries as dependencies so hence we move to Jitpack. Check https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/2011#issuecomment-824837387.
Version number of all published libraries from termux-app must be the same.
Importing can be done with the following way.
Add to root level build.gradle
```
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
//mavenLocal()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
```
Add to app module level build.gradle if you want to import `termux-shared`
```
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.termux:termux-shared:0.115'
}
```
Check https://github.com/jitpack/jitpack.io#building-with-jitpack for other details, like including commit or branch level import.
If you are updating the libraries as well and want to test locally, run `./gradlew publishReleasePublicationToMavenLocal` from root directory of termux-app to publish library to local maven repository. You may need to rebuild project before it, library files will be published at `~/.m2/repository/com/github/termux/termux-shared/0.115`. If you want to import the updated library in a project, then uncomment the `mavenLocal()` line in the build.gradle and run sync gradle with project files.
Making changes to library after dependencies have already been cached without incrementing version number may need deleting gradle cache if syncing gradle files doesn't work after publishing changes. Open gradle right sidebar in android studio, then right click on top level entry, then select "Refresh Gradle Dependencies", which will redownload/refresh all dependencies and will take a lot of time. Instead running `find ~/.gradle/caches/ -type d -name "*com.github.termux*" -prune -exec rm -rf "{}" \; -print` and then running gradle sync should be enough.
Using "com.termux" instead of "com.github.termux" will require a DNS TXT record to be added from git.termux.com to https://github.com/termux at termux.com

The f62febbf commit mentioned that it solved "the bug where Termux:Tasker would hang indefinitely if Runtime.getRuntime().exec raised an exception, like for invalid or missing interpreter errors and Termux:Tasker wasn't notified of it. Now the errmsg will be used to send any exceptions back to Termux:Tasker and other 3rd party calls."
This however was still broken due to local design changes made to TermuxTask after testing was already done. This commit should solve that problem. Moreover, now a notification will be shown if execution commands **fail to start** that are run by plugins that don't expect the result back, like with Termux:Widget or RUN_COMMAND intent. This should make it easier for users to debug problems, since otherwise logcat needs to be looked. But logcat would still need to be looked if commands/scripts fail after they have started due to internal errors. Notifications can be disabled from Termux Settings by disabling the "Plugin Error Notifications" toggle.
The user can add `disable-terminal-session-change-toast=true` entry to `termux.properties` file to disable terminal session change toast. The default value is `false`. Running `termux-reload-settings` command will also update the behaviour instantaneously if changed.
Closes#2118
If a user does not define a custom value in termux.properties file, then by default 2 rows will be shown with all arrow keys (up/down/left/right) for ease of terminal use.
This `terminal-cursor-style` key can be used to set the terminal cursor style. The user can set a string value to `block` for `■`, `underline` for `_` or `bar` for `|` cursor style. The default value is still `block`. So adding an entry like `terminal-cursor-style=bar` to `termux.properties` file will allow users to change to the `bar` cursor style. After updating the value, termux must be restarted. You can also run `termux-reload-settings` command so that termux loads the updated value, but only new sessions will use the updated value, existing sessions will not be affected unless you Reset them from terminal's long hold options menu `More` -> `Reset` or restart termux activity after double back press to exit.
You can temporarily switch to different cursor styles with (or add to `.bashrc` but resetting will restore default `bar` style):
- block: `echo -e "\033[2 q"`
- underline: `echo -e "\033[4 q"`
- bar: ` echo -e "\033[6 q"`
Closes#2075
This `terminal-transcript-rows` key can be used to adjust the terminal transcript rows. The user can set an integer value between `100` and `50000`. The default value is still `2000`. So adding an entry like `terminal-transcript-rows=10000` to `termux.properties` file will allow users to scroll back ~10000 lines of command output. After updating the value, termux must be restarted. You can also run `termux-reload-settings` command so that termux loads the updated value, but only new sessions will use the updated value, existing sessions will not be affected.
You can test this with the following, where `70` is number of `x` characters per line and `10001` is the number of lines to print.
`x="$(printf 'x%.0s' {1..70})"; for i in {1..10001}; do echo "$i:$x"; done`
Be advised that using large values may have a performance impact depending on your device capabilities, so use at your own risk.
Closes#2071
1. If `soft-keyboard-toggle-behaviour=enable/disable` was set, then pressing keyboard toggle wouldn't show the keyboard after switching back from another app if keyboard was previously disabled by user.
2. If switching back from another app, like when opening url with context menu "Select URL" long press and returning to termux with back button, then soft keyboard wouldn't automatically open like it does on app startup.
Also fixed issue where OnFocusChangeListener wasn't being set up if keyboard had to be hidden or disabled on startup.
Fixes#2111, Fixes#2112
The TerminalToolbarViewPager EditText was requesting focus when it was selected. This called the TerminalView.onFocusChange() event with hasFocus=false, which closed the soft keyboard. Now soft keyboard will only be closed if both of them don't have focus.
Fixes#2077
The following exception may be thrown, likely because of unreleased resources.

Fixed bug where cursor would become invisible when long holding (arrow) keys when editing commands (outside of text editors like nano).
Updated javadocs with info on how cursor blinking works
"Performance Improvements" and removed redundant mRendering check
All external and internal values were already logged and required log level to be set to "Verbose" in Termux Settings, but now invalid values and the default value used instead will be logged at log level "Normal" as well.
The `TermuxPropertyConstants` class has been updated to `v0.10.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes.
This `terminal-cursor-blink-rate` key can be used to enable terminal cursor blinking. The user can set an int value between `100` and `2000` which will be used as blink rate in millisecond. The default value is `0`, which disables cursor blinking. So adding an entry like `terminal-cursor-blink-rate=600` to `~/termux.properties` file will make the cursor attempt to blink every 600ms. Running `termux-reload-settings` command will also update the cursor blinking rate instantaneously if changed.
A background thread is used to control the blinking by toggling the cursor visibility and then invalidating the view every x milliseconds set. This will have a performance impact, so use wisely and at your own risk.
If the cursor itself is disabled, which is controlled by whether DECSET_BIT_CURSOR_ENABLED (DECSET 25, DECTCEM), then blinking will be automatically disabled. You can enable the cursor with `tput cnorm` or `echo -e '\e[?25h'` and disable it with `tput civis` or `echo -e '\e[?25l'`.
Note that you can also change the cursor color by adding `cursor` property to `~/colors.properties` file, like `cursor=#FFFFFF` for a white cursor.
The `TermuxPropertyConstants` class has been updated to `v0.9.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes.
Closes#153
When getting SharedPreferences of other termux sharedUserId app packages, we get its Context first and if its null, it would mean that the package is not installed or likely has a different signature. For this case, we force exit the app in some places, since that shouldn't occur. Previously, if it was null, we were defaulting to getting SharedPreferences of current package context instead, which would mix keys of other packages with current one. SharedPreferences of other app packages aren't being used currently, so this isn't an issue, this commit just fixes the issue for future.
Force exit will also be triggered if Termux is forked and TermuxConstants.TERMUX_PACKAGE_NAME is not updated to the same value as applicationId since TermuxActivity.onCreate() will fail to get SharedPreferences of TermuxConstants.TERMUX_PACKAGE_NAME.
Moreover, its normally not allowed to install apps with different signatures, but if its done, we "may" need AndroidManifest `queries` entries in andorid 11, check PackageUtils.getSigningCertificateSHA256DigestForPackage() for details.
Users can enable this behaviour by enabling the `Termux Settings` -> `Keyboard I/O` -> `Soft Keyboard Only If No Hardware` toggle.
Currently, for this case, soft keyboard will be disabled on Termux app startup and when switching back from another app. Soft keyboard can be temporarily enabled in show/hide soft keyboard toggle behaviour with keyboard toggle buttons and will continue to work when tapping on terminal view for opening and back button for closing, until Termux app is switched to another app. After returning back, keyboard will be disabled until toggle is pressed again.
This also may help for the Lineage OS bug where blank space is shown where soft keyboard should be if "Show soft keyboard" toggle in "Language and Input" is disabled. Check KeyboardUtils.shouldSoftKeyboardBeDisabled() and https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1995#issuecomment-837080079 for details.
The `TermuxPreferenceConstants` class has been updated to `v0.10.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes.
This `soft-keyboard-toggle-behaviour` key can be used to change the behaviour. The default behaviour is `show/hide`. The user can set the value to `enable/disable` in `termux.properties` file to change default behaviour of keyboard toggle buttons to enable/disable. In this mode, tapping the keyboard toggle button will disable (and hide) the keyboard and tapping on the terminal view will not open the keybaord automatically, until the keyboard toggle button is pressed again manually. This applies to split screen and floating keyboard as well. The keyboard can also be enabled from Settings -> Keyboard I/O -> Soft Keyboard toggle. Running `termux-reload-settings` command will also update the behaviour instantaneously if changed.
Fixed issue where "hide-soft-keyboard-on-startup" property wouldn't work if Termux app was switched back from another app. Fixes#1098
Fixed issue where soft keyboard may not show on startup on some devices but it still may fail sometimes.
The `TermuxPropertyConstants` class has been updated to `v0.7.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes.
This is an update to 4d1851e6 commit.
The toggle logic change previously was actually being applied to ctrl+alt+k hardware keyboard shortcut instead of the mentioned extra keys "KEYBOARD" toggle. However, now it applies to the extra keys "KEYBOARD" toggle button as well, in addition to drawer "KEYBOARD" toggle button and ctrl+alt+k hardware keyboard shortcut. They will all behave the same now.
Updated onSingleTapUp() to also forcefully show keyboard.
Fixed issue where "hide-soft-keyboard-on-startup" property wasn't respected anymore due to forced keyboard showing done in 4d1851e6.
Removed "stateAlwaysVisible" flag from AndroidManifest since its ignored in Android 10 by default and not needed due to usage of InputMethodManager.showSoftInput(). https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams#SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE
Moved "adjustResize" from AndroidManifest into java code (which is also deprecated in API 30) to centralize keyboard logic.
