Termux:API commands return `Native registration unable to find class 'com/android/icu/text/TimeZoneNamesNative'; aborting...` inside Proot on Galaxy A10 with Android 13 (LineageOS 20)

[cattokomo]

Problem description

Every Termux:API commands (including non-packaged into termux-api, like termux-open) returns an output:

Native registration unable to find class 'com/android/icu/text/TimeZoneNamesNative'; aborting...

Even if the all required environmnet variables to have most Termux:API commands to work. (Sourcing /etc/profile.d/termux-proot.sh if rootfs installed using proot-distro)

Steps to reproduce

1. exec pd login alpine --user urnaree
2. Any commands that run the libexec Termux:API or am. Example: termux-toast hello

Expected behavior

Successfully run the command.

Looks like you are not binding /system, /data and /apex in alpine, so I guess those paths are unavailable?

It's available.

😼 # urnaree@localhost : ~
0% ls / | grep -E "apex|data|system"
apex
data
system

[TomJo2000]

Please be aware that parsing ls inside a script is inherently flawed and does not work for some weird, but valid, filename edge cases.

Generally it is preferable to use find or to loop over a directory directly, e.g.

for file in ./*; do
    : "$file" # stuff
done

Most likely the issue present in this "Zsh script to patch Termux commands inside Proot".

@UrNightmaree Why do you need to patch something inside proot? Are environment variables not getting configured, so you need to setup them manually?

Bad DEX2OATBOOTCLASSPATH or BOOTCLASSPATH is a typical reason why some classes are missing.

[cattokomo]

Are environment variables not getting configured, so you need to setup them manually?

Technically, I'm not setting it up manually. Instead I copy the content of <rootfs>/etc/profile.d/termux-proot.sh due to the file isn't sourced by Zsh.

[sylirre]

I would suggest to look values of these variables in Termux and update them.

[cattokomo]

I replaced BOOTCLASSPATH and DEX2OATBOOTCLASSPATH variables, and it works fine now.
