AIDE[1] is an IDE for Android, which supports writing C++ and Java applications without a separate machine. User interface considerations restrict it to tablets, since programming on a phone-size screen would be unpleasant.

- ekianjo 13y agoOK, but is that even usable on a smartphone ? They apparently recommend to use this with a tablet equipped with a keyboard, which is a different form factor altogether.
- untog 13y agoIs any IDE usable on a phone?
- ekianjo 13y agoI am using Geany on an device which is the same size as the N900 (and keyboard equipped), and I have already developed several full applications with it. It's definitely usable.
- untog 13y agoIf you don't mind me asking- why? Things like debugging seem like they would be a nightmare.
- ekianjo 13y agoSimple. I use public transports a lot and it's impossible to open something as big as a laptop in such conditions. With something that small, I can do some work on the go, compile it and test it very quickly. Debugging isn't ideal, true, but again I can do a lot more with this instead of wasting time.
