Previously in (32135025) support was added with `disable-terminal-margin-adjustment` `termux.properties` property to disable terminal margin adjustment in case in causes screen flickering or other issues on some devices. It has now been removed in (7aefd943) and moved to Termux Settings since if it causes issues at startup and users can't access `termux.properties` file from the terminal, they will have to use SAF or root to access it, which will require an external app.
Users can set the value from the `Termux Settings` -> `Termux` -> `Terminal View` -> `Terminal Margin Adjustment` toggle. The `Termux Settings` can be accessed from left drawer in termux and from the android launcher shortcut for Termux Settings, usually accessible by long holding on Termux icon.
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.
The termux plugins should use this library instead of hardcoding "com.termux" values in their source code.
The library can be included as a dependency by plugins and third party apps by including the following line in the build.gradle where x.xxx is the version number, once its published.
`implementation 'com.termux:termux-shared:x.xxx'`
The `TermuxConstants` class has been updated to `v0.17.0`, `TermuxPreferenceConstants` to `v0.9.0` and `TermuxPropertyConstants` to `v0.6.0`. Check their Changelog sections for info on changes.
Some typos and redundant code has also been fixed.
