termux-gui VS dialog-apt

Termux:GUI already has bindings for:

Termux:GUI is a fantastic extension. I suggest everyone to install it (together with its set of sample apps) and try to make some simple scripts that involve native android GUI elements.

This is actually on my to do list, this too https://github.com/termux/termux-gui

Yes, I use the same debug key to be compatible with Termux GitHub releases. If you don't trust the binary I build, you can download the one from the GitHub Actions build of the release commit. It's build by GitHub with this build script. The Termux GitHub Actions builds are build in the same way.

I think you can use my Termux:GUI plugin for that. At least you can get events when the display is turned on or off. And you can check if the device is locked, which should always be the case when the display is off. Though directly checking the display status is also not possible, but maybe it's enough for your use case.

I'm the developer of the Termux:GUI plugin. Although it's only available on GitHub for now due to problems with f-droid, I wanted to see if the community already uses it, and what could be improved: - Is the performance good enough? - Do you want better support for custom homescreen widgets? - If you use it with Python, is the documentation and the tutorial understandable? Even with no knowledge of how the Android GUI works? - If you use your own implementation, is the protocol definition understandable and specific enough? - Would you like to see bindings in more languages than Python, Bash, C/C++ and Rust? - Do you need any other Android Views not implemented already?

Not to be confused with "Termux:GUI" lol, a logical name for anything GUI related I guess.

I made a Termux plugin to make GUIs using the Android GUI system, to get the look and feel of a native Android app. There is a Python library for it. Sadly the f-droid builds are broken right now, so you need to install Termux from GitHub to use it.

I had time to work on my Termux:GUI plugin again and tried making something bigger. With that I realized object-oriented programming is better suited for GUI and added an oop subpackage to the python bindings, along with some more features I found missing. At the end of the video is a teaser for the bash bindings I'm working on next. If someone wants the code for the reddit client I can clean it up a bit and release it.

Config file.. it's hard to make it under here. I havent reach that area yet , plus my other project dialog-apt I was going to make a config file. It just leaves me sheer amount of error so I had to give up

It might be useful to see your code... where's the branch on https://github.com/SUFandom/dialog-apt ?
