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.
Move com.termux.TermuxSettingsActivity to com.termux.app.activities.SettingsActivity
Move com.termux.TermuxHepActivity to com.termux.app.activities.HelpActivity
Move com.termux.settings.DebuggingPreferencesFragment to com.termux.app.fragments.settings.DebuggingPreferencesFragment
This implements the framework to report info to users. This may include reporting failure or result of commands or any exceptions that are raised.
The ReportInfo provides 5 fields:
- userAction: The user action that was being processed for which the report was generated.
- sender: The internal app component that sent the report.
- title: The report title.
- reportString: The markdown text for the report.
- addReportAndDeviceDetails: If set to true, then report and device details will be added to the report.
This should provide the basics parameters for showing a report to the user. The ReportActivity also allows user to copy and share the report.
In future this can also be used to allow users to easily email or post crash reports to github for Termux app crashes instead of going through logcat.
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".
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.
From https://developer.android.com/guide/components/services:
"Apps that target Android 9 (API level 28) or higher and use foreground
services must request the FOREGROUND_SERVICE permission. This is a
normal permission, so the system automatically grants it to the
requesting app.
If an app that targets API level 28 or higher attempts to create a
foreground service without requesting FOREGROUND_SERVICE, the system
throws a SecurityException."
Setting android:resizeableActivity="true" should AFAIK not be needed
as https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/multi-window.html
states that:
If your app targets API level 24, but you do not specify a value
for this attribute, the attribute's value defaults to true.
However, on a Galaxy S8 running Android 7.0 this attribute is needed
in order to have resizeable windows when in Samsung Dex mode.
Fixes#309.
A single meta-data entry is enough to make Termux "Multi Window" aware on supported Samsung devices.
Tested and confirmed working on Samsung Note Pro 12.2 running Android 5.1.1.
This addition should not interfer with Android 6+'s split screen feature.
Tested and confirmed split screen functions as normal on a Nexus 6 running Android 7.0.
This addition should go unnoticed on non-Smasung Android 5 devices.
Tested and confirmed no functionality visible on Nexus 5 running Android 5.1.
As we have a document provider now we can remove ACTION_GET_CONTENT.
"The ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT intent is only available on devices running
Android 4.4 and higher. If you want your application to support
ACTION_GET_CONTENT to accommodate devices that are running Android 4.3
and lower, you should disable the ACTION_GET_CONTENT intent filter in
your manifest for devices running Android 4.4 or higher. A document
provider and ACTION_GET_CONTENT should be considered mutually exclusive.
If you support both of them simultaneously, your app will appear twice
in the system picker UI, offering two different ways of accessing your
stored data. This would be confusing for users."

The files are saved to $HOME/downloads/, after which the user
may choose to open the downloads/ folder or edit the file with
the $HOME/bin/termux-file-editor program.
It's also possible to receive URL:s, in which case the
$HOME/bin/termux-url-opener program will be called.
