G+_Chris Porter Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Just curious, why would you want to edit code on an Android? I've tried a little coding on a tablet and it was incredibly painful compared to the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dave Bach Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Just curious, confused with your name and picture...are you a girl or boy? You see many guys (and big handed women) have problems typing on a small virtual keyboard that you find on tablets/phones. I however use a full size Bluetooth keyboard that works with my man hands.

G+_Chris Porter Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 To me the issue is not typing, it's getting the cursor in just the right place, copying and pasting quickly (which I do a lot of when coding), moving between applications seamlessly. I don't even like to code unless I have multiple screens running. I've made small edits and tweaks using a tablet before, but I've never once enjoyed it. If it's the only device you have, I completely understand. I just don't understand choosing a tablet or phone to code over using a desktop or laptop. Regardless of the device you're using, I'm glad you've decided to start coding again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_A.J. Bobo Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I use AIDE to develop Android apps on my Nexus 7. Copying and pasting is a pain, but it can be done. Most of my Android development is just for fun and I tend to do it in the middle of the night after all the kids are in bed. Setting up my monster laptop is a pain. Being able to use the smaller Nexus is great. I don't code as quickly with it, but I'm still writing actual code. And that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dave Bach Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 A.J. Bobo I'll check it out. I hear you on the kid front as I have four (two teenagers and two under two). By the time a computer boots up somebody is screaming for milk, or a diaper change, or just to be held. A lot of times my Nexus 7 takes a back seat to the phone too because often I don't have two free hands or the ability to move to pick up the tablet without waking a sleeping baby. Next I'll be looking for an IDE for Google glass which would be an awesome way to capture all of those little moments with the kids when you don't have time to pull out the phone, load the video recording app, and hit record, or when they act totally different the minute they see the phone come out.

G+_Nick Webster Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yup, AIDE is great for Android Development but if you want to use other languages DroidEdit is my preference. I have a Bluetooth keyboard for my N7 so it is awesome to code on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jeff Ratte Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I've used Droid Edit Pro as well and completely agree with Chris. It's a pain with the cursor, even with a mouse and keyboard attached to my N7. I hope Key Lime Pie makes this a more pleasant experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
