Android Code Studio

Use it when

• You need to develop, edit, and build a real Gradle-based Android app but only have an Android phone or tablet, no desktop machine with Android Studio.
• You want an on-device IDE with Java and Kotlin language servers, a terminal, a layout designer, and Git integration for working on Android projects away from a workstation.

What it solves

Not the fit when

• Beta-stage software; the README warns it may not be stable.
• Some SDK tools such as the NDK cannot be installed because their binaries are not built for Android.
• The README's current download link points to a deleted repository; use only APKs attached to the canonical AndroidCSOfficial repository's releases.
• iOS or cross-platform desktop development
• projects pinned to Android Gradle Plugin older than 7.2.0
• NDK toolchain installation via the bundled SDK manager

Install

Download the APK for your device architecture from https://github.com/AndroidCSOfficial/android-code-studio/releases/latest, install it, then follow https://docs.androidide.com/tutorials/get-started.html to install the build tools.

Invoke

Open the app on an Android device, open or create a Gradle-based Android project, and build it on-device; includes terminal, SDK/NDK manager, Java/Kotlin/XML language servers, UI designer, Git integration, log reader, and a project-aware AI assistant.
