What problem did you face using the app?

Cant manage to run a script inside termux via intent, searched everything, installed the api, am other dependencies, have tried broadcast and service, as in termux am worked only a

09/22 23:54:15.523 Down KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP - consumed: false, as service for me, for example with:
am startservice --user 0 -n com.termux/com.termux.app.RunCommandService \ -a com.termux.RUN_COMMAND \ --es com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_PATH '/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/top' \ --esa com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_ARGUMENTS '-n,5' \ --es com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_WORKDIR '/data/data/com.termux/files/home' \ --ez com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_BACKGROUND 'false' \ --es com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_SESSION_ACTION '0'
Have seen the termux documentation about intents, used theyre names of the values, used them like in am command, now its like on picture, but beside the toasts, that the event is being triggered, nothing happens, even echo to file.
If using the verbose log, these entries kind of confuse me, didnt found anything where and why there from, why false..
09/23 00:06:25.404 Down KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP - consumed: false, MyKeyEvent(keyCode=24, action=0, metaState=0, scanCode=115, device=InputDeviceInfo(descriptor=485d69228e24f5e46da1598745890b214130dbc4, name=gpio-keys, id=3, isExternal=false, isGameController=false), repeatCount=0, source=257) 09/23 00:08:46.479 Service received event from UI: Ping(key=check_is_crashed)
The goal is just to trigger that python script with an argument "0", its located at termux home has tbe needed permissions and is able to start without the need of ./ or python before it. If you are able to identify the mistake, which almost for sure locates on my side, please point me into the right direction. The idea behinds gets me crazy when failing.

What do you think would make the experience easier for you?

Maybe more about termux intent script in the documentation page

App version

3.2.1-foss 132

Device model and manufacturer

oneplus android 15

Extra info

• My device is rooted

Have you granted Key Mapper the run Termux commands permission? It should be under your device settings -> apps -> Key Mapper -> Permissions. I don't think Key Mapper asks for this permission, but it is required.

Also, your RUN_COMMAND_PATH and RUN_COMMAND_ARGUMENTS are quoted with ", but I don't think they should be. I have Termux Key Maps that work that don't contain quotes.

EDIT:
Did you see https://github.com/termux/termux-app/wiki/RUN_COMMAND-Intent ?

Also, $HOME/.main/bin/python3 is not the standard termux location for the python3 interpreter. Are you positive your script works with this python3 interpreter?

Additionally, change BACKGROUND to false and add a time.sleep(10) to the end of your script to see if the script itself is giving an error

Thanks for the suggestions, removing quotes havent changed.. path and permissions are true.. But setting background to false does execute but only opening termux first..
Already good to know it works in general, do you know what could be the issue with background? cause keymapper still triggers the event..

[sudomain]

If you have a keymap that isn't running a Termux command, then debugging is really difficult because the output gets hidden if BACKGROUND is true. I've attached a keymap that I know works for me. Try importing it and creating a script in Termux named $HOME/.local/bin/mouse_vnc.sh . Ignoring the name of the script, put something in it such as:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash

termux-toast "command ran"
sleep 5s

A few other things to check:

1. Key Mapper has the Termux Run Command android permission
2. The script you're running has a #!/shebang that's been fixed with termux-fix-shebang
3. The script you're running has the execute permission: chmod 700

Let me know if any of these solve it

The keymapper version from -foss (mine) is too old to import. I guess yours is from play.. But as ive inspected the .json, i have adapted the flag for background, path to be the script path instead of python exexutable as i already had the executable in the shebang. Also adapted args to include the script args, instead of [scriptname, arg] passed to the python executable.
Seems to be working now, except the main tasks on copy and paste to clipboard with termux-get/set-clipboard, when termux is not in foreground.
But as it turns out thats a seperate issue with androids privacy, which im stuck on right now..
If suddenly your knowledge covers a workaround for this in android 15+ it could be solved by the way..
But in any case thanks for the willingness to help and the provided advices.

[sudomain]

You're welcome. Yeah, the foreground copy/paste thing is a long-standing security "feature". Maybe you can make a wrapper script around clipboard-set/get that brings Termux to the foreground, sets/gets the clipboard, and triggers a keymap with the go to last app action. Idk for sure that this will work or if it will suit your purpose, but it's an idea.

I've added a Shell command action, maybe that can solve this problem?
