Description

So it looks like the scripting layer for android accomplishes a lot of the same goals as the termux-api package. I'm not sure how usable SL4A actually is, although it does seem to be a part of a number of different services like tasker and qpython.

I looked to see if the termux-api was using SL4A, or what the differences are, and I couldn't find any relevant discussion.

Does it make sense to use SL4A with termux? Is there any change of a plugin happening to make that easier to do?
