Wanted: offline IDE for developing Html / JavaScri

Question

In have a Motorola Xoom tablet and I would like to use it to develop some small Html / Css / JavaScript / jQuery applications. **Does anyone know a good IDE to do web development on Android?

I only need the IDE for: html, css, jQuery / JavaScript (other languages would be cool though).

Clarification: The development takes place on the tablet, so the IDE must run on the tablet.

_{I would like to do some JSFiddle-like stuff when I'm travelling by train, that's why I need a offline editor.}

Answer 1

I had the same problem. You should try some text editors:

• TextWarrior
• JecEditor
• Jota Edit
• Touchqode
• Silver Edit
• etc.

The first 2 support multiple charsets and syntax highlighting. You can use andFTP as client if you work on remote servers. On LAN you can also flash a custom kernel to your device with cifs support, or load the cifs.ko module if you have root access, and mount the shared folder on the local filesystem (like mapping a network drive) for easier access to the files.

Another idea is to load Ubuntu on your device via chroot method, and use it connecting vnc to localhost, then you can use the arm ports of your favorite software, like geany, firefox, etc. Saludos

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

The Eclipse foundation started a project, too. It's called Orion and currently in Open Beta. It's ment to develope JavaScript and HTML and it has a build-in git repo.

Answer 5

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 6

You can looks for Android Scripting.

I wrote simple JS solutions on it.
