Are there any good Android apps – text editors, optimised for programmers?
I’m asking about an Android app which is an editor! I am not interested in editors running on a desktop/laptop computers for editing Android programs. Features I am looking for:
- popular programming languages’ syntax highlighting (JavaScript, Python, Lua, …),
- visual matching of parentheses (for Lisp lovers),
- auto indentation,
- touch a word/identifier to start searching for it,
- reading/writing to SD card, Dropbox, github,
- code autocompletion,
- open source.
Any combination of the above would be great, I don’t even dream about all of them in one app.
I’ve been looking for exactly this, as I’m a Computer Science student wanting to replace my netbook with the Nexus 7.
I’ve found DroidEdit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aor.droidedit.pro
Along with Hacker’s Keyboard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard
I have yet to use them, but they’re both well reviewed and seem to be our best options.
