Github Package hosting is considered a private repository since it requires github APIs keys if a hosted library needs to be imported as a dependency. Importing from private repositories is not allowed as per F-Droid policy so termux plugin apps can't import termux libraries as dependencies so hence we move to Jitpack. Check https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/2011#issuecomment-824837387.
Version number of all published libraries from termux-app must be the same.
Importing can be done with the following way.
Add to root level build.gradle
```
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
//mavenLocal()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
}
```
Add to app module level build.gradle if you want to import `termux-shared`
```
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.termux:termux-shared:0.115'
}
```
Check https://github.com/jitpack/jitpack.io#building-with-jitpack for other details, like including commit or branch level import.
If you are updating the libraries as well and want to test locally, run `./gradlew publishReleasePublicationToMavenLocal` from root directory of termux-app to publish library to local maven repository. You may need to rebuild project before it, library files will be published at `~/.m2/repository/com/github/termux/termux-shared/0.115`. If you want to import the updated library in a project, then uncomment the `mavenLocal()` line in the build.gradle and run sync gradle with project files.
Making changes to library after dependencies have already been cached without incrementing version number may need deleting gradle cache if syncing gradle files doesn't work after publishing changes. Open gradle right sidebar in android studio, then right click on top level entry, then select "Refresh Gradle Dependencies", which will redownload/refresh all dependencies and will take a lot of time. Instead running `find ~/.gradle/caches/ -type d -name "*com.github.termux*" -prune -exec rm -rf "{}" \; -print` and then running gradle sync should be enough.
Using "com.termux" instead of "com.github.termux" will require a DNS TXT record to be added from git.termux.com to https://github.com/termux at termux.com

This `terminal-cursor-style` key can be used to set the terminal cursor style. The user can set a string value to `block` for `■`, `underline` for `_` or `bar` for `|` cursor style. The default value is still `block`. So adding an entry like `terminal-cursor-style=bar` to `termux.properties` file will allow users to change to the `bar` cursor style. After updating the value, termux must be restarted. You can also run `termux-reload-settings` command so that termux loads the updated value, but only new sessions will use the updated value, existing sessions will not be affected unless you Reset them from terminal's long hold options menu `More` -> `Reset` or restart termux activity after double back press to exit.
You can temporarily switch to different cursor styles with (or add to `.bashrc` but resetting will restore default `bar` style):
- block: `echo -e "\033[2 q"`
- underline: `echo -e "\033[4 q"`
- bar: ` echo -e "\033[6 q"`
Closes#2075
This `terminal-transcript-rows` key can be used to adjust the terminal transcript rows. The user can set an integer value between `100` and `50000`. The default value is still `2000`. So adding an entry like `terminal-transcript-rows=10000` to `termux.properties` file will allow users to scroll back ~10000 lines of command output. After updating the value, termux must be restarted. You can also run `termux-reload-settings` command so that termux loads the updated value, but only new sessions will use the updated value, existing sessions will not be affected.
You can test this with the following, where `70` is number of `x` characters per line and `10001` is the number of lines to print.
`x="$(printf 'x%.0s' {1..70})"; for i in {1..10001}; do echo "$i:$x"; done`
Be advised that using large values may have a performance impact depending on your device capabilities, so use at your own risk.
Closes#2071
This `terminal-cursor-blink-rate` key can be used to enable terminal cursor blinking. The user can set an int value between `100` and `2000` which will be used as blink rate in millisecond. The default value is `0`, which disables cursor blinking. So adding an entry like `terminal-cursor-blink-rate=600` to `~/termux.properties` file will make the cursor attempt to blink every 600ms. Running `termux-reload-settings` command will also update the cursor blinking rate instantaneously if changed.
A background thread is used to control the blinking by toggling the cursor visibility and then invalidating the view every x milliseconds set. This will have a performance impact, so use wisely and at your own risk.
If the cursor itself is disabled, which is controlled by whether DECSET_BIT_CURSOR_ENABLED (DECSET 25, DECTCEM), then blinking will be automatically disabled. You can enable the cursor with `tput cnorm` or `echo -e '\e[?25h'` and disable it with `tput civis` or `echo -e '\e[?25l'`.
Note that you can also change the cursor color by adding `cursor` property to `~/colors.properties` file, like `cursor=#FFFFFF` for a white cursor.
The `TermuxPropertyConstants` class has been updated to `v0.9.0`. Check its Changelog sections for info on changes.
Closes#153
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`.
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.
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.
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.
