Why there are no programs with a console interface on android?

Question

Android

I was very surprised by the lack of console programs for android, especially after desktop linux distributions. I didn’t even find control from the android console with such a popular program as titanium backup. What is it connected with?

Answer 1

Because android is not a linux distribution. This is a separate OS based on the Linux kernel, with its own ideology and API. In the ideology of android applications, there is no place for console applications, alas.

Answer 2

Because no one needs it.
Want konsolku - try to put Linux.

Answer 3

Hello, please! Ali from Google Play has already cut out the application " Terminal / Terminal Emulation "? No, here it is, please, alive and well...
PS There is also a terminal in the most powerful 3C All-in-one Toolbox utility (Androud Toolbox in its youth).
PPS Ahhh, need to manage android applications? From the console? Well, so ... This system was not written for that, c'est la vie.

Answer 4

Because there is no keyboard. And without it it is very inconvenient. There is a terminal, if you are interested - just what will you do with it? I only need it for ping / ifconfig and then there are more other things for this

Answer 5

Well, because android is designed for tablets and smartphones - devices that do not have a keyboard.
Agree - it is rather strange to make an interface that is difficult or impossible to use.

especially after desktop linux distributions.

Well, that's exactly what we're talking about.
Android is an OS for mobile devices, not desktop.
If you need console management, you need to look at just desktop OS - Windows, various Linux-based OS like ubunta, or redhat.
