Creating a terminal app
-
Hi,
Im very new to ubuntu touch and pretty new to ubuntu as well.
I do have good knowledge of C and C++ though, and I have written a couple of terminal programs that i ran on ubuntu.I would like to port and maybe make some new ones for my ubuntu phone, but Im kind of lost on where to start.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. What is the best way to get a c/c++ terminal app onto ubuntu touch?
Im on ubuntu 16.04 LTS desktop and will be getting a nexus 5 next week to flash and install ubuntu touch on./Jimmie

Hi
the user mimecar is writing some develop course
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/184/ubuntu-touch-programming-coursehe had also create a vm with the ubuntu sdk for download
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/742/version-1-1-of-the-virtual-machine-used-in-the-ubuntu-touch-programming-coursei'm a beginner in both c++ and ubuntu touch. so for me it is nice to have an sdk with debug and a lot more functions inside.
So if i would make a terminal app, first i download the vm with the sdk. Then download the terminal app which is running on ubuntu touch
https://github.com/ubports/terminal-app
then open it with the sdk and start playing

Thanks for the tip! A VM environment to run in seems smart, kind of sandboxed environment to fiddle around in. I will give it a tryRegards
