Installation

Latest version is

v0.17.0

.

Check

termux-app

Installation

for details before reading forward.

F-Droid

Termux:Float

application can be obtained from

F-Droid

from

here

.

You

do not

need to download the

F-Droid

app (via the

Download F-Droid

link) to install

Termux:Float

. You can download the

Termux:Float

APK directly from the site by clicking the

Download APK

link at the bottom of each version section.

It usually takes a few days (or even a week or more) for updates to be available on

F-Droid

once an update has been released on

Github

. The

F-Droid

releases are built and published by

F-Droid

once they

detect

a new

Github

release. The Termux maintainers

do not

have any control over the building and publishing of the Termux apps on

F-Droid

. Moreover, the Termux maintainers also do not have access to the APK signing keys of

F-Droid

releases, so we cannot release an APK ourselves on

Github

that would be compatible with

F-Droid

releases.

The

F-Droid

app often may not notify you of updates and you will manually have to do a pull down swipe action in the

Updates

tab of the app for it to check updates. Make sure battery optimizations are disabled for the app, check

https://dontkillmyapp.com/

for details on how to do that.

Github

Termux:Float

application can be obtained on

Github

either from

Github Releases

for version

>= 0.15.0

or from

Github Actions

.

The APKs for

Github Releases

will be listed under

Assets

drop-down of the release. These are automatically attached when a new version is released.

The APKs for

Github Actions

will be listed under

Artifacts

section of the workflow run. These are created for each commit/push done to the repository and can be used by users who don't want to wait for releases and want to try out the latest features immediately or want to test their pull requests. Note that for action workflows, you need to be

logged into a

Github

account

for the

Artifacts

links to be enabled/clickable. If you are using the

Github

app

, then make sure to open workflow link in a browser like Chrome or Firefox that has your Github account logged in since the in-app browser may not be logged in.

The APKs for both of these are

debuggable

and are compatible with each other but they are not compatible with other sources.

Google Play Store

(Deprecated)

Termux and its plugins are no longer updated on

Google Play Store

due to

android 10 issues

and have been deprecated. It is highly recommended to not install Termux apps from Play Store any more.

Check

https://github.com/termux/termux-app#google-play-store-deprecated

for details.

Terminal and App Settings

The

Termux:Float

app supports defining various settings in

~/.termux/termux.float.properties

file like the

Termux

app does in

~/.termux/termux.properties

file for version

>= 0.15.0

. Currently, only the following properties are supported:

enforce-char-based-input

,

ctrl-space-workaround

,

bell-character

,

terminal-cursor-style

,

terminal-transcript-rows

,

back-key

,

default-working-directory

,

volume-keys

. Check

Terminal Settings

for more info. The

~/

is a shortcut for the Termux home directory

/data/data/com.termux/files/home/

and can also be referred by the

$HOME

shell environment variable.

You can create/edit it by running the below commands to open the

nano

text editor in the terminal. Press

Ctrl+o

and then

Enter

to save and

Ctrl+x

to exit. You can also edit it with a

SAF file browser

after creating it.

mkdir -p ~/.termux nano ~/.termux/termux.float.properties

Debugging

You can help debug problems by setting appropriate

logcat

Log Level

in

Termux

app settings ->

Termux:Float

->

Debugging

->

Log Level

(Requires

Termux

app version

>= 0.118.0

). The

Log Level

defaults to

Normal

and log level

Verbose

currently logs additional information. Its best to revert log level to

Normal

after you have finished debugging since private data may otherwise be passed to

logcat

during normal operation and moreover, additional logging increases execution time.

Once log levels have been set, you can run the

logcat

command in

Termux

or

Termux:Float

app terminal to view the logs in realtime (

Ctrl+c

to stop) or use

logcat -d > logcat.txt

to take a dump of the log. You can also view the logs from a PC over

ADB

. For more information, check official android

logcat

guide

here

.

Log Levels

Off

- Log nothing

Normal
