Does anyone know why System.console returns null?

[Casey Brooks]

Android apps aren’t run from a terminal session, they’re started and managed directly by the OS. Since there’s no interactive character-based terminal, there is no Console object. The Javadoc for that method described that it should return null in this case https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/System#console()
