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
