Which is the best IDE for a smartphone.

Hello dev.to community,

Can you help me select a good IDE for my smartphone which can integrate projects with my github account? (Need it to code on-the-go)

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

you can try coder (code-server).. it is VS Code hosted on the cloud
and you can host it yourself in any vps
i have used it for my last project and it was awsome

Why not just write in pseudocode and then code it properly once you get to where you are going?

You often can’t pseudocode thinks you doing for example for the first time.

The best IDE I came across while searching for IDEs on mobile is Dcoder, Dcoder let you code in 30 plus language. And it has great UI than all other apps.

AIDE: an IDE for java / Android with limited functionnalities.
AIDE Web: a small editor for html/css/javascript
Icode-Go: a text editor and php/mysql web IDE.
Java-N-Ide: another IDE for java
CPP-N-Ide: an IDE for c/c++

Who said you can't code on mobile!

You should carry a notebook and draw your ideas as high-level boxes and arrows. Perhaps even write code. Maybe create an ide to scan that code and run it, haha.

You may think dont't waste time on bus / train.

But it's difficulty, because:

  • Can't build code in android / iphone
  • Remote with non-stable network
  • Have a great IDE

So you may write down your logic in txt and implement at home
better than write code in mobile

If you only want some sytanx highlight
gitlab "web IDE" can be a choice
(actually it only has sytanx highlight)

Sorry of my English

Actually you can build java using eclipse compiler and run it using dalvik both with termux
(Note that you can run cli and sun-less only)

Coda. It’s amazing. SSH, console, web preview, almost full-featured IDE, and will sync projects to and from desktop app if you use it.
