I could not get it to work with rt.jar but it works great with android-api8.jar - even generics!

N70%

Thanks again. The best java complies for Java runtime as far as android development just needs more updates and interactivity. Make it more fluent and includes help manual in usage. This has potential just needs more. i believe in you jimmy. please deliver us to the android world. you are talented. there is no reason i should be struggling to develop java on here.

Still no updates after being told 5months ago that the new version is coming soon!!! Edit - Over a year later... The developer has clearly stopped working on this. Uninstalled and I'll stick to AIDE

It is just a waste of money .If you are lucky enough, your programs will get compiled.There is one in ten compilation with this app. Only shows errors

I recently purchased this app but am receiving the following error, as far as I'm.aware my code is correct, please help! ---------- 1. ERROR in /storage/emulated/legacy/Java Development/Sand Projects/Abilities/src/Ability.java (at line 1) public class Ability ^ The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files ---------- 2. ERROR in /storage/emulated/legacy/Java Development/Sand Projects/Abilities/src/Ability.java (at line 1) public class Ability

when i run the program, it can't find even Object class. I think this means java and javac are in the path, but it can not find rt.jar file. I tried to find in my Note 2 device but I don't know where it is located. Can you refund this app? I can't do anything with this App now. Or give me solution for this.

Good but outdated

Z70%

And I can see this only getting better. Developer cares enough to email you thanking you for your support. I installed the jar file. Wrote a small program with it and bam! Works flawlessly. Need a portable IDE then give this one a try.

Z70%
by Z####:

This is not a super powerful ide though. It would be nice if there was some sort of method suggestion to make coding faster. Like when printing to console and u write "System.ou.p" the app should suggest to add "rintln("");"

Q70%
by Q####:

It does what its supposed to but it has many glitches! They start to get really annoying because you don't notice them at first. There are glitches when I plug in an external keyboard and also for some reason when I run a program and make no changes and run it again, it says error and to fix something. To fix it I just run it again and it works smoothly. Some weird glitch but other than that it works great!

This IDE helps me study on the go for my programming courses on the go. Works great on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

N70%
by N####:

Console is really the most obvious way of writing universal programs in Java. To this end this program provides a very user friendly way of doing this. Would be great if the app could be extended to be able to select and run any console .class or .jar file.

X70%
by X####:

I'm new to Java programming (although not to programming as a whole). It took me only a couple minutes to find my way around the app and then a couple more to compile my first simple program. Whoever said this IDE was complex never really tried to use it. It's simple, elegant, and well worth the money I spent.

Q70%
by Q####:

I using this to do a tutorial on Java. It works well and the editor is good. There is one problem, but, it is related to how Java runs under Android. The help information makes setting it up easy.

Q70%
by Q####:

Works great. You need to read the instructions and download the rt.jar file and then reference it in the app. Works great!

Q70%
by Q####:

I very much like that this app, unlike all the others I've seen, can run .java files as well as write them.

Q70%
by Q####:

when i use the scanner in java and when the program runs the first thing i input is added to my source code which causes a error when i run it again

Q70%
by Q####:

Took a few setting changes and a download to get it working but really good to have this on android, great app!

This is an amazing app that will only improve. The developer actually cares about what we have to say! Everyone should buy this app!!! Thank you developers!

U70%
by U####:

I have been using this IDE for quite sometime and just want to say how awesome it is to be able to use an IDE on the go when I am not in front of my system. Normally i use Eclipse IDE for my GUI's and other projects but when I get an idea or just want to hone my skills I use Sand IDE at the coffee shops or any other place I dont have my super powerful laptop. Anyway Jimmy got back to me on a question with the IDE when I had a confusing issue with it in less than 6 hours. With busy life and work...he took a moment out of his day to get back to me and even offered help with any questions I would have in the future. I know thats not possible always with life and what not but he still offered and for that...Thank you Jimmy.

Whenever input is given at console window the first character is written in code viewer instead of console window.

U70%
by U####:

I like the fact that unlike aide, this is more cut-to-the-chase. Just get straight to coding. But I'm having an issue like a few others, where my first letter gets put into my code versus into my console. If there's a fix for that, someone please let me know. Other than that, amazing app, well worth the 3 bucks.

Sand IDE Pro is very good. Once you get it setup and actually learn how to use it, it is actually fun to use, IMHO. Looking forward to a new more robust and feature filled update.

Author promised autocomplete but didn't maintain the promise , quite hard to code without it. Java version is quite old, 1.6 while we have Java 1.8.

Still no updates after being told 5months ago that the new version is coming soon!!! Edit - perhaps I was too harsh in my last review. It was mainly due to frustration of no update. I understand your situation, so looking forward to an update in the near future. Regards,

K70%
by K####:

I really just write small programs that just require input or file data and output results out an output file. The biggest pain has always been platform moves, hence the attractiveness of Java, code once, run anywhere. So having used the program I give it a resounding thumbs up. I found the interface very good. Unless I missed it, a nice to have feature would be to compile to an executable jar.

I was wondering when you will have java.awt implemented? I have a program that uses JFrame.
