@ -970,7 +970,47 @@ And a few people have written back to say the atexit bypass worked for
their SIGSEGV - pfew!
September 21, 2019.
First, some user reports.
Kumaran says the START/STOP broadcast intents work wwith Tasker on
Android 7 but not on Android 9. He also reports it works from the shell
(am broadcast --user 0 -a org.galexander.sshd.START org.galexander.ssh)
so I'm not sure what the difference is, and I'm not super inclined to
install Tasker to find out. I wonder if there is some sort of implicit
distinction between sending a broadcast intent and sending a service
intent that is negotiated differently at Android 9?
Roman reports that it "works" on his Onyx Boox i68ML (eink, I think), but
it doesn't refresh the log display so he can never see the
one-time-password. I think I just need to find a way to manually trigger
a refresh of the eInk but I haven't found anything like that yet...just a
bunch of people reporting that other apps (KOReader, CoolReader) stopped
working on onyx boox at some point. I do remember being somewhat
surprised that the log view worked at all, so maybe there is something
missing from my use of TextView and we just have been getting lucky...
But while I was looking for a way to get the android emulator to emulate
eink (no dice), I stumbled onto the Android TV emulation! I haven't
received one of these requests recently but they used to be a common
occurrence, and I suspect people would really appreciate if SimpleSSHD
was just available regularly through the app store on TV.
With the emulator, I was able to sideload the app with adb, and then
enable it under Settings -> Security & Permissions and then launch it
with Settings -> Apps -> SimpleSSHD -> open. Then it works, except
there's no three-dots menu button, so no way to get to Settings.
Anyways, there's a whole laundry list of things to do to get into the app
store and to get shown in the regular launcher.
XXX - android TV support
XXX - figure out how to force a refresh on eink devices (onyx boox) when the password is displayed (Roman)
XXX - Tasker on Android 9 can't trigger the new START/STOP intents? (Kumaran)
XXX - test file renaming in /storage/emulated/0/download on Quiche for Ben Reaves
XXX - test Settings colors in Pie (or Quiche?) "dark mode" for Alexander Chobot
