Spec score 8.5 #2 of 23 in Java IDEs

What it is

AIDE is an integrated development environment for creating Android apps and other mobile projects directly on an Android device. It supports Java, C/C++, HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with Android and PhoneGap/Cordova listed as targets. The editor includes code completion, error checking, refactoring, and code navigation. A mobile Android SDK is included, so the maker says a separate SDK installation is unnecessary for Android app development. AIDE also supports Android NDK work with C/C++ on Arm devices, provides Git and Dropbox support, and opens Eclipse projects plus basic Android Studio projects using the default structure. The full Gradle build system is not supported. Interactive lessons teach programming step by step while letting learners build apps. A visual UI designer and app packaging are included. AIDE is freemium: Android Edition is free; UI Designer costs 2.99 USD once, while Premium Key and PhoneGap Edition cost 9.99 USD once. Final prices depend on country.
