When using sqlite3 through adb shell
arrow keys, instead of moving the cursor to the desired position or summoning the history facility, the following is showed in the screen: ^[[A
, ^[[B
, ^[[C
, ^[[D
.
I'm using Mac OS X and I have tried Terminal and iTerm terminal emulators.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
To allow editing and history in the input of a console program, that program must be linked with the readline
library.
The sqlite3
tool does support readline, but on Android, readline support has been disabled.
(Probably because readline is licensed only under the GPL.)
