Download Code on the Go

Code on the Go is a mobile-first, offline-capable IDE for building full Kotlin and Java Android apps on Android phones and tablets, without needing a computer or internet access. With Code on the Go, you can: 

  • Write, edit, debug, and build Android projects on your phone.
  • Extend Code on the Go’s capabilities with plugins (and build the plugins you need for your own unique projects).
  • Try our Sketch to UI feature! Turn a photo of a hand-drawn UI sketch into Android XML. 
  • And much more!

Installation and setup

Use the buttons above to download Code on the Go. Please follow the prompts during setup.

Note: Code on the Go requires the Android permission to display over other apps. Some phones, including Google Pixels, may restrict the permission so that you can’t enable it during installation. If you can’t enable a permission, follow these steps to resolve the problem:

  1.  Open the device’s Settings.
  2. Navigate to Apps > Code on the Go, and tap the Code on the Go icon to display the app information page. (Your device may have a different name or path.) 
  3. Tap the three-dot menu typically displayed at the upper right, and select Allow restricted settings.
  4. Verify your identity.
  5. When the process is complete, return to the Code on the Go setup page. You can now add the permission.
