Wanted: offline IDE for developing Html / JavaScript on Android tablet [closed]

Answer 1

You can looks for Android Scripting.

I wrote simple JS solutions on it.

Answer 2

Well, I would go with vim (dont forget to read the blog post about this Android version and this little tutorial with another solution) with zencoding plugin. But I'm a little biased since I use vim daily for development and I'm already used to it's modal approach.

It's a good opportunity to learn a new editor nonetheless, and understand why the hell these nutheads use vi.

There's a good post about vim as well, with some plugins for web development. Beware though that a lot may not work in your Android environment.

Answer 3

You could use the online IDE. It's the Mozilla project that started out as Bespin a few years ago.

I've been playing with it for a while, and I am quite impressed with how well it works. And it hooks right into github.

There are even ways of running it in offline mode.

Answer 4

maybe an online editor like ACE (former Mozilla bespin/skywriter)?

Answer 5

Perhaps this post can give you some path to an answer: Is possible install Eclipse IDE in a Galaxy Tab?

It looks the JVM is not ported yet on such platform.

Remember the Java technology is portable to any system as long a JVM exists for that platform (OS + CPU type).

But honestly, even with a full portability of the Eclipse IDE, I doubt the performance would be enough to be usable in the real programming task on the actual tablets (e.g. The samsung Galaxy Tab have a 1Ghz processor only... )

Answer 6

Try WebBaster's HTML Editor from Android Market (Pro version) The IDE has syntax highlighting, code-completion and quick preview

Lite version is also available in Android Market
