What is Reddit's opinion of Termux:API?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

While the post /u/Rugwed linked is great, there's one important thing missing. You'll notice downloaded videos won't show up in your gallery. To fix this, do the following:

• Install Termux:API.

• Type pkg install termux-api in Termux.

• Type mkdir -p ~/.config/youtube-dl/ and then tee -a ~/.config/youtube-dl/config <<< '--exec "termux-media-scan {}"'.

I suggest you take a look at the youtube-dl man page to look into further configuration.

The app and termux-api both need to be installed for it to work. Also make sure you aren't mixing app store versions like termux from f-droid and termux:API from play store.

It's not show there. I can select Termux but that doesn't do what I want because Termux moves the notification spawning to a secondary app which doesn't show up in app launchers (and MiFit only lets you select from all apps featuring a GUI).

If you do it with Termux there are similar but not exactly the same nodes. I can't figure out exactly which ones he used specifically for Android.

There's another step that idk if I mentioned in the video I did on the termux version but if you do that, you also want to install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux.api&hl=en_US and go to the p. manager and install the same termux api nodes in there. That gives you access to all the sensors the "termux" way.

Are you sure that you have installed both app and package ?

• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux.api
• pkg install termux-api

Without Termux:API app package will not work.

> When I use termux-battery-status nothing happens.

I should clarify, you don't need root access for this command. Install the Termux:API app (playstore) and termux package:

pkg install termux-api

in termux, and termux-battery-status should run fine.

Do you also have the Termux:Api addon installed? You need both the termux-api package and the Termux:Api addon

If you need to do something else with termux, you may use this module:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/termux

But you need extra installed termux api as APK:

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux.api/

or

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux.api

and extra package in termux environment ( pkg install termux-api )

Hope, that answers all your questions.

Install this and cd insto Storage/External then download
