Description
Feature description
I would like to have an termux API to show a IR remote like dialog with all the buttons. Clicking the buttons will transmit the IR signal. The IR pattern will be read from a file.
Reference implementation
Have you checked if the feature is accessible through the Android API?
The feature is accessible through android.hardware.ConsumerIrManager class.
Do you know of other open-source apps that has a similar feature as the one you want? (Provide links)
I have created the following basic dialog with the buttons. I mapped those buttons to my tv remote IR patterns using a JSON file.

Research direction
Start with Android's android.hardware.ConsumerIrManager API and the reference dialog described in the issue. Review how IR patterns are represented in the provided JSON file and determine the Termux API entry point and UI behavior needed. Done means a dialog can render the configured buttons and transmit each corresponding IR signal.
