What is it?
Code on the Go is an IDE for building Android apps directly on an Android phone. It is designed to work without a traditional computer and without Internet access, aiming to lower the barrier to Android app development for people who only have a phone.
The project is the successor to AndroidIDE, which was archived in 2024, and is maintained by App Dev for All, a philanthropic initiative. It is distributed as an APK downloaded from the project's website, and it is licensed under GPL-3.0.
The codebase is primarily Java and builds on several third-party components, including the Sora editor, a Termux-based terminal emulator, and a Java language server.
