Top 9 Android Apps and IDE for Java Coders and Programmers

December 11, 2014 4 min read

Recently at IDRsolutions my colleagues have spent a lot of time traveling to different conferences such as Oracle Code One and DevFest. One of the complaints my colleagues have is the amount of luggage they have to carry, especially when they still want to work on code for our Java PDF Viewer and SDK, PDF to HTML5 converter and a Java ImageIO replacement.

Having previously written an article on the ‘The 10 Best Android Apps for Designers and Web Developers’ as I spend a lot of my time on the web development and designing side of things, it occurred to me that Android is an extremely powerful platform (and open source) and I would be sure to find useful Apps and IDE’s for Java Coders and Programmers.

So to help make things easier for them, and with my keen interest in technology and love of gadgets, I grabbed my trusty Android phone to see what I could find.

JavaIDEdroid

JavaIDEdroid is an IDE (integrated development environment) that can run on Android and allows you to natively create Android applications without the need to use the Android SDK on Mac, Windows or Linux. JavaIDEdroid comes equipped with an aapt tool, compiler for Java, dx tool, DexMerger tool, ApkBuilder, zipsigner-lib (this library also does the zipalign), SpongyCastle Library, BeanShell Interpreter and JavaRunner, which allows running of any binary Java command line applications (.jar file).

Java Editor

Java Editor is a very easy-to-use and simple Java editor. It’s limited in functionality but it can color the syntax nodes, attributes, properties, events and also supports auto-completion and search and replace. It can open default files with the extensions jav & java.

DroidEdit

DroidEdit is a text and source code editor (similar to Notepad++ on the PC) and is available for android tablets and phones. DroidEdit is supported by android tablets with external keyboards like the Asus Transformer or those with third-party external keyboards, there is also support for Hackers Keyboard. It also supports a variety of languages like C, C++, C#, Java, HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, Ruby, Lua, LaTeX, and SQL.

There is also a premium version with SFTP/FTP, Dropbox, Drive and Box support (great if you are on the move), custom themes (for those that want to customize everything), external commands through SSH and root mode.

8 лучших редакторов кода для мобильных устройств

Зачем нужен редактор кода в смартфоне? Это свобода писать код когда и где угодно. Предугадать, когда в голову придет гениальная идея (или понадобится срочно внести исправление в проект), невозможно. Зато вполне можно заранее установить приложение-редактор в смартфоне и в случае необходимости набирать код с большим удобством, чем в блокноте.

Dcoder

Как утверждается на сайте Dcoder, это самая быстрая мобильная IDE. Она доступна в веб-версии, а также в виде приложений для iOS и Android. Поддерживает большое количество языков (больше 35), включая HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C, C++, Python и Java.

В Dcoder есть автоматическое проставление парных скобок и создание отступов, подсветка синтаксиса. Также вы сможете выбрать тему оформления приложения.

Разработчики Dcoder гордятся маленьким весом своего приложения: всего 6MB. Такую легковесность удалось достичь благодаря использованию облачных компиляторов и облачного хранилища для кода. Но тут есть и обратная сторона: чтобы использовать приложение, нужно непременно быть онлайн.

Turbo Editor

Простой, но при этом мощный текстовый редактор для Android. Имеет открытый исходный код (т. е., при желании и должном умении вы сможете его усовершенствовать по своему вкусу). В этом редакторе вы найдете подсветку синтаксиса для HTML, XHTML, CSS, LESS, JavaScript, PHP, Python и многих других языков, а также режим чтения, автосохранение файлов при выходе из приложения, просмотр результатов работы в браузере.

Quoda

Quoda это простой в использовании редактор кода для Android. Как и другие редакторы в нашем списке, Quoda поддерживает много языков, включая C, C++, C#, CSS, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Lua, Markdown, PHP, Python, Ruby. Есть подсветка синтаксиса, расширенная клавиатура, функционал поиска и замены с применением регулярных выражений и учетом регистра.

В платной версии доступны автодополнение кода, интеграция SFTP/FTP(S) и облачных хранилищ, а также предпросмотр страниц в разметке HTML/Markdown (на планшетах).

QuickEdit

Быстрый, надежный редактор, в котором есть функционал для работы как с простым текстом, так и с кодом. Как утверждают разработчики этого приложения, к его отличительным особенностям можно отнести скорость работы и отзывчивость. По этим критериям QuickEdit превосходит многие аналогичные приложения.

В этом приложении вы найдете подсветку синтаксиса для 50 с лишком языков, возможность включать и выключать нумерацию строк, поддержку физической клавиатуры, плавную прокрутку, автоматическое определение кодировки, возможность отмены действий (без ограничений). Поддерживается доступ к файлам в облачных хранилищах.

Our Code Editor Free

Как следует из названия, этот редактор бесплатный (но есть показ рекламы). А как указано в описании на Google Play, это целая IDE для Android. Причем она может работать без подключения к интернету. Правда, в таком случае вам не удастся поработать с файлами в облачных хранилищах (а вообще такая возможность есть).

Android Web Developer (AWD)

AWD — это IDE для веб-разработки. Языков и форматов поддерживает не много: PHP, CSS, JS, HTML, JSON. Есть возможность дистанционной работы с проектами (по протоколам FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV).

В AWD вы найдете (среди прочего) подсветку синтаксиса, автодополнение кода, автоопределение кодировки файла, интеграцию Git (в платной версии), функционал поиска и замены с применением регулярных выражений, поддержку физической клавиатуры.

Android Interactive Development Environment (AIDE)

AIDE — это интегрированная среда разработки для создания Android-приложений прямо на Android-устройствах. Поддерживает Java, C/C++, HTML5, CSS и JavaScript.

В этом приложении вы найдете автодополнение кода, проверку ошибок, подсветку синтаксиса для Java и XML. Есть интеграция с Dropbox. Благодаря совместимости с Eclipse можно открывать Eclipse-проекты. Для профессиональной разработки поддерживается Git.

Отличительная черта этого приложения — интерактивные уроки кодинга с пошаговыми инструкциями (курс программирования на Java, Android-разработки, создания игр).

Казалось бы, все просто отлично, но в комментариях люди жалуются на невозможность сохранять файлы в бесплатной версии и на навязчивые предложения перейти на платный вариант.

Codeanywhere

IDE для работы на Android-устройствах. Включает в себя редактор кода, FTP-клиент и терминал. Поддерживает огромное количество языков (больше 100). Есть возможность подключения к сторонним сервисам (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Github, Bitbucket).

Если у вас нет собственного сервера, Codeanywhere может запустить для вас Linux-контейнер, в котором будут доступны, к примеру, WordPress, Drupal, Magento.

See our top of 7 from the best free code editors applications for software developers.

As an enthusiast developer, I write and read a lot of code every single day without exception. However, not always you can take your laptop and work wherever you want for different reasons. Nowadays, everybody has a Smartphone that is small as a hand. Many developers say that that’s already an impediment because you can’t work comfortably, but we do not all think in the same way (i mean, not all of us have huge fingers).

In this top, we will share with you a collection of 7 from the best free code editors applications available for the Android Platform.
