Is there a decent, offline Android text editor/IDE for c# programming.

I’d like to be able to do a little bit of programming here or there when out or about (or just away from my desk). I’m not expecting to compile anything, or even do proper version control, I’m just hoping for something more equivalent to writing code in Notepad++, although more features would obviously be welcome.

Is there anything good for this, that is available on Android, works offline and supports c#?

I’ve dabbled with github.com/massivemadness/Squircle-CE (F-Droid, Google Play) in the past, but I haven’t used it for any particularly heavy coding sessions.

Xed-Editor (GitHub) (F-Droid) is an editor with syntax highlighting and can be configured with IDE features (Termux to run (and debug?) code).

I use Acode: GitHub / F-Droid / Play Store

It’s got everything you could want from a text/code editor, comparable to Notepad++ on Windows.

I’ve tried Squircle CE in the past but I didn’t like it, though I don’t remember why.

For typing code, I highly recommend Unexpected Keyboard: GitHub / F-Droid / Play Store

And if you do want to use git, Termux is the easy pick: termux.dev/en/ . It can also easily run Python scripts with full functionality, but I wouldn’t know about C#.

I want to like unexpected keyboard, but sith lack of autocorrect it’s just super annoying to actuslly use

(left spelling errors dor dramatic effect)

I agree. It’s only usable for coding and Termux. For everyday typing I use Gboard, but plenty of other options are available.

Ahh I thought you use it as a daily driver. That makes sense.

Yup, I only switch to it when I really need to. That’s when typing code, commands, or mathematical stuff. It’s got quick access to so many characters!

⌊π⌋∈ℕ

Every character in that line is instantly available in the math layout.
