I have a pretty long commute to work and own an android phone. I figure it would be nice to do some simple programming on the way. I'm not picky on which language to code on. I usually have an internet connection on the train.
I've been looking through the android market but haven't found any apps that offer a "development environment" or an editor with a compiler. Is any development ON the Android possible? Does an app for this exist?
Answer
Two years on: I use AIDE, their brief summary of features states:
Edit-compile-run cycle:
- Create a sample App with a single click
- Run your App with a single click
- No root access required
- Incremental compilation for fast build times
- Uses Eclipse .classpath project format for compatibility
- Integrated LogCat viewer
Real-time error checking:
- Real time error analyis throughout the whole project as you type
- Automatic Quick-Fixes for many errors
Refactoring:
- Rename
- Inline variable
- Introduce variable
- Extract method
Code:
- Code formatter
- Organize imports
- Out-comment code
- Create setters/getters/constructors from fields
Code navigation:
- Goto defintion
- Find usages
- Goto symbol
- Goto class
Editor:
- Very fast editor even with large files
- Code completion for Java and Android XML
- Android online help directly from the code
- Syntax highlighting for Java and XML
- Unlimited Undo/Redo
- Pinch zoom
- Smart expand selection
- Keyboard support with configurable keybindings
- UI optimized for small screens to show as much code/content as possible
Filebrowser:
- Built-in file manager with the most common features: Rename, delete, create file or folder
