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.
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 `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.
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.
web interface would have worked, if I had deleted the tabs, first
This vim is adding tabs instead of matching the previous line's
indentation. Looking into fixing that now...
The documentation for Build.SUPPORTED_ABIS says:
"An ordered list of ABIs supported by this device. The most preferred
ABI is the first element in the list."
Respect that preference when checking for which arch to install
packages for.
Fixes#131.
This will only affect new installations. Existing users wishing to
install 64-bit packages can re-install the app completely, or just
'rm -Rf $PREFIX' and exit all sessions, which will cause Termux to
re-install all packages at next startup.
Let the user run termux-setup-storage, which will ensure that storage
permission has been granted and setup $HOME/storage/ folder with
symlinks to storage folders.
At startup Termux now checks if there is external storage available,
and creates a private area on the external storage if one exists as
well as creating a symlink to the private are at $HOME/storage.
If the activity had been destroyed waiting for the installation to
finish the code would crash trying to display welcome dialogs (on
success) or error dialogs (on error).
