- The `FileUtils` and `PluginUtils` have been added to provide utility functions.
- The executable and working directory validation has been added to check for existence and missing permissions.
- The `expandPath()` function is removed from `RunCommandService`.
- Working directory will automatically be created if under `TermuxConstants.TERMUX_FILES_DIR_PATH` if missing.
- Better logging has been added. This will later be used to notify the user in foreground.
- Javadocs have been updated.
This commit majorly refactors `TermuxActivity` and moves its view components and functions into dedicated classes.
- The view layouts and ids have been given meaningful names, like `termux_activity.xml`.
- The `TerminalToolbarViewPager` class has been created to handle the now called toolbar that shows on the bottom of the terminal view. It currently contains extra keys view defined by `terminal_toolbar_extra_keys_view.xml` file and a text input view defined by `terminal_toolbar_text_input_view.xml` file when user can switch to by swiping left. The input text will now be preserved if android destroys the activity or its recreated.
- The `TermuxSessionsListViewController` class has been created to handle view related functionality of the termux sessions list shown in the left drawer, namely view creation, `onItemClick()`, `onItemLongClick()`, etc. Its list view is defined by `termux_activity.xml` file and each item's layout is defined by the `terminal_sessions_list_item.xml` file.
- The `TextDataUtils` class has been added to the `com.termux.app.utils` package for text utils.
- The design for the `SessionChangedCallback` interface for `TerminalSession` has been majorly changed. Firstly, it has been renamed and moved from `TerminalSession` to the dedicated `TerminalSessionClient` class file. The interface now also supports the termux app centralized logging framework so that `TerminalSession` and `TerminalEmulator` can use them. Previously, `TermuxService` was implementing a wrapper interface, which would then call the real interface defined by the `TermuxActivity` if it was currently bound to the service. This cluttered and partially duplicated the code. Now, the implementation is defined by the `TermuxSessionClientBase` and `TermuxSessionClient` classes. The `TermuxSessionClientBase` implements the `TerminalSessionClient` interface but the definition of the activity related functions do not do anything, only the background ones like the logging functions are fully implemented. The `TermuxSessionClient` class inherits from the `TermuxSessionClientBase` class and provides the implementation for the activity related functions. The design for how this works is that if the `TermuxService` is not bound to `TermuxActivity`, it just passes the `TermuxSessionClientBase` implementation to `TerminalSession`. If the activity is bound at some point, then in `onServiceConnected()` it replaces/updates the client objects stored in `TerminalSession` and `TerminalEmulator` with `TermuxSessionClient`, and then replaces them back with `TermuxSessionClientBase` in `onDestroy()`. This seems to be working for now without an issue.
The settings activity can be accessed by long pressing on terminal view and selecting "Settings" from the popup shown. It uses the Android's Preference framework. Currently only debugging preferences to set log level and enabling terminal view key logging are provided. The Preference framework by default uses the keys set in `app:key` attribute in the respective preferences XML file to store the values in the default `SharedPreferences` file of the app. However, since we rely on `TermuxPreferenceConstants` and `TermuxPropertyConstants` classes to define key names so that they can be easily shared between termux and its plugin apps, we provide our own `PreferenceDataStore` for storing key/value pairs. The key name in the XML file can optionally be the same. Check `DebuggingPreferencesFragment` class for a sample. Each new preference category fragment should be added to `app/settings/` with its data store.
This commit may allow support to be added for modifying `termux.properties` file directly from the UI but that requires more work, since writing to property files with comments require in-place modification.
The `Logger` class provides various static functions for logging that should be used from now on instead of directly calling android `Log.*` functions. The log level is automatically loaded from shared preferences at application startup via `TermuxApplication` and set in the static `Logger.CURRENT_LOG_LEVEL` variable. Changing the log level through the settings activity also changes the log level immediately.
The 4 supported log levels are:
- LOG_LEVEL_OFF which will log nothing.
- LOG_LEVEL_NORMAL which will start logging error, warn and info messages and stacktraces.
- LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG which will start logging debug messages.
- LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE which will start logging verbose messages.
The default log level is `LOG_LEVEL_NORMAL` which will not log debug or verbose messages. Contributors can add useful log entries at those levels where ever they feel is appropriate so that it allows users and devs to more easily help solve issues or find bugs, specially without having to recompile termux after having to manually add general log entries to the source. DO NOT log data that may have private info of users like command arguments at log levels below debug, like `BackgroundJob` was doing previously.
Logging to file support may be added later, will require log file rotation support and storage permissions.
This commit removes almost all hardcoded paths in Termux app and moves the references to the `TermuxConstants` class.
The `TermuxConstants` class should be imported by other termux plugin apps instead of copying and defining their own constants. The 3rd party apps can also import it for interacting with termux apps. App and sub class specific constants are defined in their own nested classes to keep them segregated from each other and for better readability.
Re-implementation of https://github.com/termux/termux-app/pull/1029.
If Termux has property "allow-external-apps" set to "true", a third-party
program will be able to send intents for executing custom commands
within Termux environment.
Third-party program must declare permission "com.termux.permission.RUN_COMMAND".
This is the launcher icon with a circle around it. I added the circle
because the icon has a transparent background, so it looks a bit weird
with just the >_.
Why:
* During backup process Termux is being killed in most cases.
* Backup data is limited to 25 MB.
* Backup may not be performed/updated in certain cases.
The failsafe activity were infrequently used while confusing users.
Replace it with an app shortcut on Android 7.1+ and a separate app on
earlier versions.
Also enables session autoclosing so no more "annoying" messages
about "process completed - press enter". There autoclosing will be
performed on exit codes '0' and '130'.
On Android TV devices old behaviour will be used - auto close enabled for all
sessions when amount of running sessions >1.
Commit f0eeb47 introduced configurable extra keys and thus changed the
height of the viewpager to be multipled by the number of rows of extra
keys. However, the extra keys had two rows at the time, so the initial
height should have been changed to half of what it was now that it is
multiplied. This was not done, so the viewpager was twice the height it
should be after that change.
Icons used in notifications/status bar are monochrome and should use only white color and transparency. It is displayed fine on Android emulators but it's shown in black on Samsung Galaxy S7 running Android 7.0.
After the change, status bar icon is white and the small icon in notification still uses the black color set via setColor(). Termux doesn't support devices running Android older than 5.0 but using white color in vector drawables would be also necessary to generate proper (white) bitmap icons.
Split the app/ module into three modules
terminal/ - Terminal emulator library module.
view/ - Terminal view library module (depending on terminal/).
app/ - The main Termux app (depending on view/).
Also add the
float/ - The Termux:Float app (depending on view/).
