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.
Now whenever the Termux app crashes, the crash report (stacktrace, app and device info) will be logged to ~/crash_log.md file. When the user will reopen the app, a notification will be shown which when clicked will show the crash report content in the ReportActivity. The activity will have important links like email, reddit, github issues of termux app and packages at which the user can optionally report an issue if necessary after copying the crash report text. The ~/crash_log.md file will be moved to ~/crash_log-backup.md so that a notification is not shown again on next startup and can be viewed again via SAF, etc.
This will allow reports for bugs that are submitted to have complete and useful info, specially in markdown format, making lives of devs a tad bit easier. Also more bugs that are rare might be submitted since users will have the info to report with and know where to report at.
ToDo:
- The TermuxConstants.TERMUX_SUPPORT_EMAIL_URL needs to be updated with a valid support email once its set up. The TermuxUtils.getReportIssueMarkdownString() function currently also has "email" lines commented out which will need to be uncommented.
- Currently, crashes will only be handled for the main app thread, other threads will have to manually hooked into where necessary.
Users can toggle the state from Settings -> Keyboard I/O -> Soft Keyboard toggle.
Android phone should also have an internal setting for disabling soft keyboard when a hardware keyboard is connected in Language and Input android settings or from the input mode selection notification, but the above setting will be Termux app specific and will allow soft keyboard to still be shown in other apps.
The `TermuxPreferenceConstants` classes has been updated to `v0.7.0`. Check its Changelog section for info on changes.
If its set to `true` in termux.properties file, then soft keyboard will automatically be hidden on Termux App start to solve issues for when users use hardware keyboard and soft keyboard is automatically opened and wastes terminal screen space.
The `TermuxPropertyConstants` classes has been updated to `v0.5.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes.
Fixes#1978
TermuxSession will maintain info for foreground Termux sessions. Each terminal session started by TermuxService will now be linked to a ExectionCommand that started it.
This also fixes bugs where newly created session in some cases were not being automatically selected and scrolled to, like when adding a named or failsafe session or those which were created for executable intents.
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
The TERMUX_SERVICE.ACTION_SERVICE_EXECUTE intent received will be managed by the ExectionCommand now.
The cwd and failsafe have been renamed to workingDirectory and isFailsafe.
The `SharedPreferenceUtils` class has been added to provide static util functions for shared preferences like get and set while safely handling exceptions. The `TermuxSharedPreferences` class has been renamed to `TermuxAppSharedPreferences` since its to be used to handle only Termux App related shared preferences and not of other plugin apps. For plugin apps, separate classes can be created. However, Termux app and its plugins will share the same `TermuxPreferenceConstants` class that now has per app scoping since `v0.3.0`.
This `terminal-toolbar-height` key can be used to adjust the toolbar height. The user can set a float value between `0.4` and `3.0` which will be used as the scaling factor for the default height. The default scaling factor is `1`. So adding an entry like `terminal-toolbar-height=2.0` to `termux.properties` file will make the toolbar height twice its original height. Running `termux-reload-settings` command will also update the height instantaneously if changed.
Fixes#1857
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.
The termux preferences handling was mixed in with termux properties before an earlier commit. They are now moved out of into a separate sub package, the following classes are added:
- `TermuxPreferenceConstants` class that defines shared constants of the preferences used by Termux app and its plugins. This class should be imported by other termux plugin apps instead of copying and defining their own constants.
- `TermuxSharedPreferences` class that acts as manager for handling termux preferences.
The `TermuxConstants` and `TermuxPropertyConstants` classes have both been updated to `v0.2.0`. Check their Changelog sections for info on changes.
Some other hardcoded termux paths have been removed as well and are now referenced from `TermuxConstants` class.
The termux properties handling was mixed in with termux preferences. They are now moved out of into a separate sub package, the following classes are added:
- `SharedProperties` class which is an implementation similar to android's `SharedPreferences` interface for reading from ".properties" files which also maintains an in-memory cache for the key/value pairs. Two types of in-memory cache maps are maintained, one for the literal `String` values found in the file for the keys and an additional one that stores (near) primitive `Object` values for internal use by the caller. Write support is currently not implemented, but may be added if we provide users a GUI to modify the properties. We cannot just overwrite the ".properties" files, since comments also exits, so in-place editing would be required.
- `SharedPropertiesParser` interface that the caller of `SharedProperties` must implement. It is currently only used to map `String` values to internal `Object` values.
- `TermuxPropertyConstants` class that defines shared constants of the properties used by Termux app and its plugins. This class should be imported by other termux plugin apps instead of copying and defining their own constants.
- `TermuxSharedProperties` class that acts as manager for handling termux properties. It implements the `SharedPropertiesParser` interface and acts as the wrapper for the `SharedProperties` class.
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.
Some terminal applications, like mutt and weechat, prints a newline at
the end of each line even if text is wrapped. This causes urls which are
wrapped to not be selectable in full.
By ignoring newlines when the text fills the entire width of the screen,
those urls can be selected. Many other terminal emulators do this as
well.
A drawback of this is that if a url happens to fill the width of the
screen, the url selection will include the first word of the next line,
but this doesn't happen that often so I think it's an okay tradeoff.
Fixes#313
* Make popup keys for extra keys row configurable
This makes the keys you get when swiping up on a key configurable. You
can configure such a key by using an array of strings instead of a
single string in the row. The first entry will be the normal key and the
second will be the extra key.
This is a slightly breaking change, as people that have configured
custom extra keys with "-" or "/" will have to change the config to keep
the popup keys. The default config will remain the same in terms of
functionality, i.e. it includes the same popup key for "-".
* Make popup keys interact well with long press keys
This stops the repeat action when the popup is shown, and makes sure the
popup is closed when you release even if there has been some repeat
actions.
* Support configuring the style of the extra keys
This adds a setting for choosing between the different ways to render
key names that were already present in ExtraKeysView.
The available setting values are "arrows-only", "arrows-all", "all",
"none" and "default". Other values will fallback to "default".
Can be used as a workaround for #1410
* Support using modifier keys with letter keys in extra keys
This allows you to use the modifier keys on the extra keys rows, e.g.
ctrl, together with another button on the extra keys rows, as long as
that button is a normal letter and not a special key. Support for
special keys will come in the next commit.
* Support using modifier keys with special keys in extra keys
This allows you to use the modifier keys on the extra keys rows together
with a special key on the extra keys rows, e.g. CTRL+LEFT.
Fixes#745, fixes most of #895 and possibly #154
* Support mapping extra keys to other actions
This adds a setting called extra-keys-map which allows you to map a key
on the extra keys rows to another action. The value is a json object
where the key is the button text as configured in extra-keys and the
value is the action. Multiple actions can be used, but if they are
special characters (like ESC or LEFT) they have to be separated from the
other characters with a space on each side. If you want an actual space
character, use SPACE.
For example if you want to add a key to go to the next active channel in
weechat, you can use this:
extra-keys-map = {"weechat next": "ESC a"}
And then add "weechat next" to extra-keys. The name can of course be
whatever you want.
Or if you want the button for the UP arrow to show ⇧ instead of ↑, you
can use this:
extra-keys-map = {"⇧": "UP"}
And put "⇧" in extra-keys instead of "UP".
Modifier keys (ctrl, alt and shift) can't be used in this map yet.
Support for ctrl and alt will come in the next commit.
I think this fixes#1186
* Support CTRL and ALT in extra keys map
This allows you to use CTRL and ALT in extra-keys-map.
For example if you want a button to exit the terminal, you can use this:
extra-keys-map = {"exit": "CTRL d"}
And add "exit" to extra-keys.
* Support a KEYBOARD button in extra keys
This toggles showing the keyboard input method.
* Support specifying macro keys in the extra-keys option
Instead of specifying macros in the separate extra-keys-map option by
matching the key name in the two options, you can now use "macro"
instead of "key" in extra-keys, and it will be a macro, i.e. a sequence
of multiple keys separated by space.
* Remove option extra-keys-map
Now that you can specify macro in extra-keys, there is no point in
having this separate option. Instead of specifying the value to display
as key, and the macro to perform in extra-keys-map, you would now
specify the value to display in the display property and the macro to
perform in the macro property.
* Lookup display text when creating ExtraKeyButton
This will make it easier to support key aliases for macros in the next
commit.
* Add support for a key to open the drawer
Fixes (I think) #1325
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.
