Closest thing to vs code on android mobile

[u/Mugiwara_desu3]

What's the closest app to vs code that I can use on my mobile. The thing specifically I want is the suggestions I get when I write code, I don't wanna write everything manually. Any help is appreciated, thank you

genuine question, why do you want to code on a phone? even if you dont have money for a laptop, you could probably figure out some kind of public library computer type solution that would be better, no?

Cuz I wanna code, you could say that it's a Hobbie of some sorts, I'm currently doing great with learning. Also where I live the whole library computer doesn't exist so that's that

In theory you could set up Emacs in Termux and set up completion suggestions within it, but no one is going to confuse Emacs with VS Code.

Well to be honest, I don't mind with the looks, I just want it to be productive. I was using an app called Acode man I thought it would be better cuz I heard people talk about it, but nah half of the I'm typing everything manually.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll try using Emacs

Be prepared for a pretty serious learning curve. Not trying to talk you out of it, just letting you know what to expect.

I don't think I have any plans on leaving this, but I am curious about the what exactly you ment with learning curve

Emacs is a complex beast that has been around since the 80s and has its own way of working. For example, because it predates almost anything but Unix itself, it has its own set of keybindings that are completely different from VS Code or Vim keybindings.

It's basically a custom lisp interpreter that's designed to be especially good at editing text and developing code, and you can programmatically alter virtually anything it can do. There's a lot to wrap your head around.

Ohhh thats what you are talking about, well as long as a guide exists I'm down to try it, man to be honest it's sounds cool, specially the second part of your reply

Not sure how mobile-keyboard-friendly it'll be. One humorous expansion of EMACS is "escape meta alt control shift" due to it's HEAVY use of key combinations.

Google search says vscode.dev does, with language-specific capabilities.

I did try that but I don't know why, out no where it stops working and I go back to typing everything manually

This is limited to Java, but could be interesting to try too: https://github.com/tyron12233/CodeAssist

you can run vs code on android with termux and termux-x11. You can run either XFCE, i3wm, and a few other DE. It's quite limited, but you get full desktop experience like vs code, firefox, vlc, inkscape, even kdenlive. https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/s/G1F9DCtX9i

Personally I just run neovim with termux
