Description
** INCOMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID 5.0 LOLLIPOP AND VERSIONS PAST THAT **

** ONLY USE WiTH ANDROID 4.4 OR BELOW.. **

** ( Sorry - but new PIE restrictions break everything in later versions ) **

Terminal IDE is an expandable terminal application, with a full Java / C / C++ / HTML / Android development kit, that runs on your Android device.

It uses the command line, with many powerful and robust open-source applications, plus a custom ASCII on-screen 'soft' keyboard that works well (You must ENABLE it in your device's main Keyboard Settings).. and also has an extensive generic external 'hard' keyboard key mapper. This way CTRL / ALT / ESC etc.. should all be accessible.

GCC 4.4.0, make 3.82, ctags, javac, java, dx, proguard, aapt, apkbuilder, signer, ssh, sshd, telnetd, bash 4.2, busybox 1.19.2, vim 7.3, nano 2.2.6, midnight commander 4.8, htop 1.0, TMUX 1.5, links 2.7, rsync 3.0.8, git 1.7.8, BitchX 1.1 and a nice terminal emulator are all available.

The vim editor has been setup with c / java / HTML development in mind and is extremely powerful. Also vim has been setup by default in a humane way (arrow keys work, backspace..), so that starting on this long and glorious journey won't begin with a punch in the face.

With the addition of all the other apps provided, Terminal IDE becomes much MUCH more than an extremely powerful IDE. One could call it a complete 'Command Line OS'.

Best of all you can log in via telnet / ssh and use your home keyboard/screen combo!

AND the whole app runs WITHOUT needing ROOT permissions.

It's all available with normal user permissions..

Also the project is released under GPLv2

Enjoy!

Constructive criticism always welcome. Useless abuse, not so much.

Spartacus

NB: This app CANNOT be installed onto the SDCard because you do not get 'Execute' permissions on that mount. It must run in this app's private memory on the device [Also much more secure]. You can of course still read / write to the SDCard and store your files / projects there. ALSO - once extracted it takes up about 150MB of your INTERNAL memory. You have been warned..

NB2: 'ENTER NOT WORKING' confusion on Terminal IDE keyboard.. Android expects a different key-code than the terminal(which expects ^M).
- Use CTRL+ENTER to send Android ENTER at any time.
- GO,NEXT,SEND & SEARCH all work when they appear as icons.

NB3: The Help/Tutorials, available in the app, can now be downloaded separately as a PDF from the Google code project. Thanx to Roy.

NB4: This app is ARM only.. No x86 support. Sorry - and yes, it's a big job to convert..

NB5: No UTF-8 support yet.. Just ASCII.

NB6: READ ALL THE IN-APP HELP! TWICE! BEFORE YOU EMAIL ME! Please..

Thank you.

Comments on Terminal IDE for Android

★★★★★ I am using thos app since it has been created. I used java, c, c++, and many more. But now, I need python working commad prompt in this app. And thats the best that everyone need in this app. So don't late to update the app with python programming....
★★★★★ Too bad it can't run on newer envs. Fu*king companies want.you to pay for their locked down devices with inherent spyware: maybe if the phones were free, but you pay for it. What a fu*king fascist world.
★★★★★ Great app. Sad to see it go with my new phone. Cool little portable linux-like environment.
★★★★★ Nice but the files created through terminal is always inside root which is impossible to open and edit
★★★★★ I didnt try it yet but , but i rated 5 for the good comments..... my question is this can hack something? Plss answer,,,
★★☆☆☆ It would've been great if it worked on Lollipop. We are now at Oreo, moving on with the future. You'd think by now, the dev would've made it PIE compatible. This is the first app that gave me a PIE error since Lollipop released. I even thought of editing the linker file so it would work. Then I thought, for one app? NAW!
★★☆☆☆ I have android 6.0 .This show unfortunately terminal ide has been stopped and do I need to connect my phone to computer and how to use it pls tell me pls
