FAQPage Schema
How do I collect user input in Termux on Android?▼

Collect user input in Termux using termux-dialog commands to display interactive dialogs. Run termux-dialog text, confirm, radio, checkbox, spinner, or date/time picker commands with title and option flags to prompt users and capture their responses directly in your scripts.

What types of dialogs can I present to Android users?▼

Android dialogs supported include text input for free-form responses, confirmation prompts for yes/no decisions, radio buttons and checkboxes for single and multiple selections, spinners for dropdown choices, bottom sheets, counters, date and time pickers, and speech input for voice-to-text capture.

Can I use interactive dialogs in native Android apps or only Termux?▼

Interactive dialogs work in both Termux environments and native Android contexts. The termux-dialog command set functions across both platforms, making it suitable for terminal-based workflows and native Android applications requiring structured user input.

How do I prompt users to confirm an action before proceeding?▼

Use the termux-dialog confirm command with a title flag to display a yes/no confirmation prompt. The dialog returns the user's choice, allowing you to conditionally execute subsequent steps based on confirmation in your workflow or onboarding process.

What's the best way to gather multiple selections from a user?▼

Present checkbox dialogs using termux-dialog checkbox with comma-separated options to allow users to select multiple items simultaneously. Radio dialogs let users pick a single option when only one choice is needed, and spinners provide dropdown selection for long option lists.

Does this work for collecting dates and times in user workflows?▼

Yes, termux-dialog includes dedicated date and time picker dialogs that let users select specific dates and times through interactive controls. These are useful for scheduling features, setting preferences, or capturing temporal data during setup flows without manual text parsing.
