When calculating the row that is clicked, for mouse tracking
mFontLineSpacingAndAscent was taken into account, but for selection and
URL clicking it wasn't. This adds a common function for calculating the
column and row which does take it into account and use that for all
three.
I'm not quite sure why it's necessary to subtract
mFontLineSpacingAndAscent, but with this calculation the click location
matches the line that is acted on for me with both touch and mouse and
on different font sizes.
It also removes the offset for finger the selection/url used because I
don't think it's common for apps on Android to have such an offset, and
because the mouse tracking did not use such an offset.
This allows you to click/press directly on a URL in the terminal view to
open it. It takes priority over opening the keyboard, so if you click on
a URL it is opened, and if you click anywhere else the keyboard opens
like before.
Currently, if the application in the terminal is tracking the mouse and
you click on a URL, both actions happen. The mouse event is sent to the
application, and the URL is also opened.
To enable support for this, you have to set
`terminal-onclick-url-open=true` in `termux.properties`.
Previously, `FileUtilsErrno` had some errors that didn't include the full path passed to the `FileUtils` functions and caller had to manually append the path to the error. This was done due to `termux-tasker` plugin config activity was using these errors in the executable and working directory text fields and we had to keep the error short as possible to reduce clutter. Now by default, the path will be included so that its not missing for other cases and the `FileUtils.getShortFileUtilsError()` function is provided to get a shorter version from the original error if its possible to do so if caller like `termux-tasker` requires it.
The user can add `extra-keys-text-all-cap=false` entry to `termux.properties` file to disable auto capitalization of extra keys text for both normal and popup buttons. The default value is `true`. Running `termux-reload-settings` command will also update the behaviour instantaneously if changed.
We manually create the parent directories first so that bootstrap failures are detected early on instead of some sub directory during extraction.
Also fixed issue where `TermuxFileUtils.isTermuxFilesDirectoryAccessible()` would not check if a directory file actually existed at TERMUX_FILES_DIR_PATH and may set permissions for a non-directory file at the path. The `TermuxInstaller` was testing if `TERMUX_PREFIX_DIR_PATH` existed later on so check wasn't necessary but function may be called from elsewhere too.
Also removed legacy `PREFIX_FILE*` and `STAGING_PREFIX_FILE*` local constants and use the ones provided by `TermuxConstants` directly.
Since termux-app runs in a separate process from other apps, if a user sets log level in termux settings, then it would require exiting the `termux-app` completely since android caches `SharedPrefernces` in memory and only writes to the file on app exit. Now updated value will be instantly written to the file so that plugins can directly read at startup. If plugins are already running, they would need to be restarted since usually log levels are loaded at startup.
Also added log level setting in Termux Settings for Termux:API. Others can be added when logging is implemented in the plugin apps via `Logger` class provided by `termux-shared`.
The `terminal-margin-horizontal` key can be used to adjust the terminal left/right margin and the `terminal-margin-vertical` can be used to adjust the terminal top/bottom margin. This will also affect drawer. The user can set an integer value between `0` and `100` as `dp` units. The default value is still `3` for horizontal and `0` for vertical margin. So adding an entry like `terminal-margin-horizontal=10` to `termux.properties` file will allow users to set a horizontal margin of `10dp`. After updating the value, either restart termux or run `termux-reload-settings` for changes to take effect.
This was added since for some users text on edges would not be shown on the screen or they had screen protectors/cases that covered screen edges (Of course, that would require fixing every single app and android system UI itself, so kinda stupid to use). Moreover, horizontal margin of like `10dp` may be helpful with peek-and-slide for people having gesture navigation enabled on android `10+` since they won't be to touch at exactly the edge of the screen to trigger peek (#1325).
Closes#2210
The user can add `disable-hardware-keyboard-shortcuts=true` entry to `termux.properties` file to disable hardware keyboard shortcuts. The default value is `false`. Running `termux-reload-settings` command will also update the behaviour instantaneously if changed. Note that for `ctrl+alt+p` to work, you need to unset `shortcut.rename-session = ctrl + n`. https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Terminal_SettingsCloses#1825
The termux `extra-keys` have been moved to `termux-shared` library so that they can be imported and used by other apps for their own needs as long as they comply with GPLv3 license.
Almost everything is customizable and has no dependency on termux specific logic. Check the javadocs of files of `com.termux.shared.terminal.io.extrakeys` package for more info, specially, `ExtraKeysView`, `ExtraKeysInfo`, `ExtraKeyButton`, `TerminalExtraKeys` and `TermuxTerminalExtraKeys`.
Moreover, you can now long hold on `CTRL`, `ALT`, `SHIFT` and `FN` to lock those control keys. They will not be released when you press another key and will only be released by pressing the respective control key again.
Closes#2049, Closes#1861
Apparently occurs on only Samsung android 8 devices and there is no fix for vibrator except catching the exception so that app doesn't crash.

Users have been reporting issues with bootstrap installation (and `login` file access) failure on email and github but "most" have been useless since they don't follow instructions to debug the issue and report back. The real reason may depend on device. One could be that `/data/data/com.termux` does not exist on the device in which case termux won't work on the device, at least without root. Other reasons could be wrong ownership or selinux context, selinux denials or attempting to install on external sd card (as reported by a user) where likely files dir was different from `/data/data/com.termux/files`.
This commit will save dev and possibly user time and automatically generate the required info to debug such issues. The `ls` command will generate `stat` info for all the major termux directories and files so that existence or ownership issues can be shown. It will also run `logcat` command to take a dump (last `3000` lines) in case other failures are being logged, like selinux denials as per `avc` entries. It will also show if app is installed on external sd card. This info will automatically be shown on bootstrap install failure report.
Moreover, users can generate termux files `stat` info and `logcat` dump manually too with terminal's long hold options menu `More` -> `Report Issue` option and selecting `YES` in the prompt shown to add debug info. This can be helpful for reporting and debugging other issues. If the report generated is too large, then `Save To File` option in context menu (3 dots on top right) of `ReportActivity` can be used and the file viewed/shared instead.
Users must post complete report (optionally without sensitive info) when reporting issues, instead of (partial) screenshots which won't be accepted anymore.
There has been some design changes in android 11 for `/data/data` and `/data/user/0` directory. You can check javadoc for `isTermuxFilesDirectoryAccessible()` function in [`TermuxFileUtils`](termux-shared/src/main/java/com/termux/shared/file/TermuxFileUtils.java) for details.
If `ReportActivity` was started with a large report, i.e a few hundred `KB`, like for terminal transcript or other command output, the activity start would fail. To solve the issue, if the serialized size of the ReportInfo info object is above `DataUtils.TRANSACTION_SIZE_LIMIT_IN_BYTES` (`100KB`), it will be saved to a file in a cache directory `/data/data/com.termux/cache/report_activity` as a serialized object and loaded when activity is started. The file will be automatically deleted when activity is destroyed (`Activity.onDetroy()`) or when notification that would have started the activity is deleted (`Notification.deleteIntent`). In case, these two didn't happen, then on `TermuxActivity` startup, a thread will be started to delete files older than `14` days so that unneeded left over files are deleted. If user tries to open plugin error or crash report notifications after 14 days, they will get `ReportInfo` file not found errors, assuming `TermuxActivity` was started to run the cleanup routine.
Now these large reports can't be copied or shared with other apps since that would again result in `TransactionTooLargeException` exceptions and `ShareUtils` automatically truncates the data (now from end) to `100KB` length so that the exception doesn't occur. So now a `Save To File` option has been added in context menu (3 dots on top right) of `ReportActivity` so that large or small reports can be saved to a file if needed. They will be save in root of `/storage/emulated/0` or whatever is the default public external storage directory. The filename would depend on type of report. The storage permissions will be asked if missing. On android `11`, if you get permission denied errors even after granting permission, disable permission and grant it again. To solve privacy issues of report being saved to public storage since it may contain private info, an option for custom path will be added in future. The default directory is public storage instead of termux home since its easily accessible via all file managers or from pc. Instructing amateur users to get files via `SAF` from termux home is not something I wanna take on.
Another issue is that `ReportActivity` itself may not be able to show the entire report since Android may throw `OutOfMemoryError` exceptions if device memory is low. To solve this issue, `ReportActivity` will truncate the report to `1MB` from end that's shown to the user. It will add a header showing that report was truncated. To view the full report, the user will have to use the `Save To File` option and view the file in an external app or on pc that supports opening large files. The `QuickEdit` app on Android has been a reliable one in my experience that supports large files, although it has max row/column limits too at a few hundred thousand, depending on android version.
Despite all this, `OutOfMemoryError` exceptions could still be thrown if you try to view too large a report, like a few MB, since original report + the truncated report is still held in memory by the app and will consume `2-3` times memory when saving. It's fun coding for android, right?
The terminal transcript will not be truncated anymore that's generated via `Report Issue` option in terminal.
The `ShareUtils.copyTextToClipboard()` will truncate data now automatically, apparently all phones don't do it automatically and exception is raised.
The `ShareUtils.saveTextToFile()` has been added that will automatically ask for storage permissions if missing.
The `ReportInfo` now expects a `reportSaveFileLabel` and `reportSaveFilePath` arguments so that `ReportActivity` can use them to know where to save the file if users selects `Save To File` option.
The `ReportActivityBroadcastReceiver` must now be registered in `AndroidManifest.xml` if you are using `ReportActivity` in your app. Check `ReportActivity` javadoc for details. Moreover, an incremental call to `ReportActivity.deleteReportInfoFilesOlderThanXDays()` must also be made.
When `Logger.CURRENT_LOG_LEVEL` set by user is `Logger.LOG_VERBOSE`, then background (not foreground sessions) command output was being logged to logcat, however, if command outputted too much data to logcat, then logcat clients like in Android Studio would crash. Also if a logcat dump is being taken inside termux, then duplicate lines would occur, first one due to of original entry, and second one due to StreamGobbler logging output at verbose level for logcat command.
This would be a concern for plugins as well like `RUN_COMMAND` intent or Termux:Tasker, etc if they ran commands with lot of data and user had set log level to verbose.
For plugins, TermuxService now supports `com.termux.execute.background_custom_log_level` `String` extra for custom log level. Termux:Tasker, etc will have to be updated with support. For `RUN_COMMAND` intent, the `com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_BACKGROUND_CUSTOM_LOG_LEVEL` `String` extra is now provided to set custom log level for only the command output. Check `TermuxConstants`.
So one can pass a custom log level that is `>=` to the log level set it termux settings where (OFF=0, NORMAL=1, DEBUG=2, VERBOSE=3). If you pass `0`, it will completely disable logging. If you pass `1`, logging will only be enabled if log level in termux settings is `NORMAL` or higher. If custom log level is not passed, then old behaviour will remain and log level in termux settings must be `VERBOSE` or higher for logging to be enabled. Note that the log entries will still be logged with priority `Log.VERBOSE` regardless of log level, i.e `logcat` will have `V/`.
The entries logcat component has now changed from `StreamGobbler` to `TermuxCommand`. For output at `stdout`, the entry format is `[<pid>-stdout] ...` and for the output at `stderr`, the entry format is `[<pid>-stderr] ...`. The `<pid>` will be process id as an integer that was started by termux. For example: `V/TermuxCommand: [66666-stdout] ...`.
While doing this I realize that instead of using `am` command to send messages back to tasker, you can use tasker `Logcat Entry` profile event to listen to messages from termux at both `stdout` and `stderr`. This might be faster than `am` command intent systems or at least possibly more convenient in some use cases.
So setup a profile with the `Component` value set to `TermuxCommand` and `Filter` value set to `-E 'TermuxCommand: \[[0-9]+-((stdout)|(stderr))\] message_tag: .*'` and enable the `Grep Filter` toggle so that entry matching is done in native code. Check https://github.com/joaomgcd/TaskerDocumentation/blob/master/en/help/logcat%20info.md for details. Also enable `Enforce Task Order` in profile settings and set collision handling to `Run Both Together` so that if two or more entries are sent quickly, entry task is run for all. Tasker currently (v5.13.16) is not maintaining order of entry tasks despite the setting.
Then you can send an intent from tasker via `Run Shell` action with `root` (since `am` command won't work without it on android >=8) or normally in termux from a script, you should be able to receive the entries as `@lc_text` in entry task of tasker `Logcat Entry` profile. The following just passes two `echo` commands to `bash` as a script via `stdin`. If you don't have root, then you can call a wrapper script with `TermuxCommand` function in `Tasker Function` action that sends another `RUN_COMMAND` intent with termux provide `am` command which will work without root.
```
am startservice --user 0 -n com.termux/com.termux.app.RunCommandService -a com.termux.RUN_COMMAND --es com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_PATH '/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash' --es com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_STDIN 'echo "message_tag: Sending message from tasker to termux"' --ez com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_BACKGROUND true --es com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_BACKGROUND_CUSTOM_LOG_LEVEL '1'
```
Termux will check if termux files directory `/data/data/com.termux/files` has rwx permission access before installing bootstrap or starting terminal. Missing permission will automatically be set if possible. The `/data/data/com.termux` directory will also be created if it did not already exist, like if android did not already create it.
Users will now also be shown a crash notification if they attempt to start termux as a secondary user or in a work profile with info of the "alternate" termux files directory `/data/user/<id>/com.termux` set by android and the profile owner app if running under work profile (not secondary user). A notification will also be shown if the termux files directory (not "alternate") is not accessible.
Related #2168
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.
This would happen when soft keyboard was to be disabled or hidden at startup and a hardware keyboard was attached and user started typing on hardware keyboard without tapping on the terminal first.
Create the TermuxCrashUtils class that provides the default path and app for termux instead of hardcoding it in CrashHandler. TermuxCrashUtils can be used by termux plugins as well for their own usage or they can implement the CrashHandler.CrashHandlerClient if they want to log to different files or want custom logic.
The user can add `disable-terminal-margin-adjustment=true` entry to `termux.properties` file to disable terminal view margin adjustment that is done to prevent soft keyboard from covering bottom part of terminal view on some devices. Margin adjustment may cause screen flickering on some devices and so should be disabled. The default value is `false`. So adding the entry `disable-terminal-margin-adjustment=true` to `termux.properties` file will disable margin adjustment. Exit termux and restart for changes to take affect after updating value.
In case e5a9b99a did not fix screen flickering issues for #2127, then this can be used to disable it. Closes#2127.
