linenoise-android

linenoise-android

Linenoise built with Android NDK, packaged as an Android library with Java binding.

This is not an officially supported Google product.

Why linenoise-android?

Because TCSAFLUSH is broken on Android 8.0 - 11 and this broke all the line editing libraries I looked into. This library patched Linenoise to use TCSADRAIN instead, which is also what the Android bulit-in mksh is using, so that it can run on all Android versions. For more details about this issue, you may refer to my blog post.
