256color support #37

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
There are a lot of terminal applications available today (vim and emacs to name 
two) that offer extra functionality in terminals that support ANSI 256color 
output. Currently I see that applications that are 256color-aware fail to 
render correctly using the current version of terminal-ide; the colors don't 
even fall back to the basic 16 ANSI terminal colors (which they should, 
according to some implementations), instead, they behave similarly to the 
"reset" character in that they set the corresponding color to black.

It would be fairly trivial to add support for 256colors, since it's just an 
extension of the ANSI color table anyways; the application does just have to be 
aware of the additional color codes and map them accordingly.

No, that is not a solution. The article assumes that the terminal already has 
support for 256 colors. The terminal in terminal-ide doesn't have that, so 
changing the TERM variable won't do anything.

This needs fixing, your terminal is the only one that works with every hardware 
keyboard, and in addition you've got a lot of useful apps, but 256 color would 
be very very nice. ConnectBot is OSS and supports it so maybe you could see how 
they do it?

Can anyone tell me why this hasn't been implemented yet?
This is something I'd like to hack on over the summer and I'd like a heads up 
on any potential technical challenges.

@phil: I'm interested in this feature as well. It looks to me like terminal-ide 
uses the code from Android Terminal Emulator to render the terminal.  

https://github.com/jackpal/Android-Terminal-Emulator

So it might be worth asking at that project why the 256colors is not supported.

i'm also interested on this. This Feature would make TerminalIDE the best 
android term out there.

Any insight on this issue ? is it possible to have 256 color support ?
