About this app

AIDE for PhoneGap is an integrated development environment (IDE) for developing portable PhoneGap Apps directly on Android devices. You can use your exisiting HTML5/CSS/JavaScript web development skills to build Apps which can be quite easily transfered to various mobile platforms.

AIDE supports the full edit-compile-run cycle: write code with the feature rich editor offering advanced features like code completion, real-time error checking, refactoring and smart code navigation, and run your App with a single click.

AIDE is fully compatible with Eclipse PhoneGap projects. You can just copy the sourcecode to your device and open the Eclipse project in AIDE to start coding. Alternatively you can keep your sourcecode on your Dropbox - AIDE integrates with Dropbox and allows to easily download from your Dropbox and sync back your changes. AIDE can also open Android Studio projects, which follow the default folder structure.

AIDE supports GIT for professional development

Ever since I upgraded my mobile to Android 10. The app seems to keep crashing and although I never used it all that much, I would've found it easier to do app development using it than a PC. Strangely enough though it seems to work great on my android tablet which using Android 8.1. I don't know what the issue is for Android 10, but this maybe something you guys need to look into.

This app is used to be a very good tool for developing app/apk using Android device. But, it won't open now. It's always closed by itself the moment I open/run it. I've been trying with several phones, but nothing satisfying. As I remember, I couldn't open it when using Android 9 and up. I'm currently using Android 11. 3 stars for now. Hoping a real fix for Android 9 and up devices.

I am satisfied with the product as a whole! However, I am very disappointed that integration with Dropbox is broken..
