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.
For Termux app to be able to show a soft keyboard while a hardware keyboard is attached requires either of 2 cases:
1. User has enabled "Show on-screen keyboard while hardware keyboard is attached" toggle in Android "Language and Input" settings.
2. The toggle is disabled, but the soft keyboard app overrides the default implementation of `InputMethodService.onEvaluateInputViewShown()` and returns `true`. Some keyboard apps have a setting for this, like HackerKeyboard, but its not supported by all keyboard apps.

Termux previously didn't forcefully show a keyboard when the drawer "KEYBOARD" toggle button was pressed and only did that for the "KEYBOARD" extra keys toggle button. This prevented the keyboard to be shown for case 2 even when the user attempted to show the keyboard with the drawer "KEYBOARD" toggle. Now both buttons will forcefully show the keyboard.
Moreover, previously at app startup for case 2, the keyboard wasn't being shown. Now it will automatically be shown without requiring a manual press of a "KEYBOARD" toggle button.
This may also solve the issue where the soft keyboard wouldn't show even when the toggle of case 1 was enabled.
Rooted users were getting `Clearing $TMPDIR directory at path "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp" failed` flash errors when they exited Termux if directories existed in TMPDIR that only had `root` user ownership, since they would fail to get cleared since clearing was being run as the termux app user instead of as the root user. Now errors will only be logged to logcat.
This only reverts the versioning login change done in a6ae656c since that caused F-Droid bot and Github Packages to fail to pick up new releases. The versions must be bumped directly in `build.gradle` file in future and not through other files like `gradle.properties`.
Changes were made to bootstrap reinstallation logic in 107927f5, but it wasn't considering that PREFIX may be a symlink file to a directory instead of a directory file. With this commit, the previous behaviour of termux is restored where PREFIX can optionally be a symlink to a valid directory where the symlink isn't broken/dangling.
The TermuxInstaller.setupBootstrapIfNeeded() previously only checked if PREFIX directory existed or not to decide whether to install bootstrap or not. Now it will also check if its empty or only contains the tmp directory, since in that case the PREFIX must be deleted and bootstrap reinstalled, otherwise a broken environment will be loaded since no termux binaries/libs would exist.
It will now also delete any file at the prefix or staging prefix path, even if its not a directory. If the user does not want the bootstrap to be installed for some reason, then any other file other than "tmp" can be created under PREFIX.
The TMPDIR was being automatically cleared and recreated even if it didn't already exist when TermuxService was stopped. This left an empty TMPDIR in the PREFIX directory when termux-reset was run and on termux restart the bootstrap wasn't installed again because PREFIX directory already existed. This resulted in a broken environment since no binaries/libs existed under PREFIX and /system/bin/sh was loaded.
This issue was created due to v0.109.
