7.JavaIDEdroid

JavaIDEdroid is not suitable for novice programmers. It works similarly to AIDE, allowing you to create Android applications directly on Android devices. However, I find JavaIDEdroid not very user-friendly and more suited to users who prioritize function over appearance.

8.Terminal IDE

Terminal IDE is an extensible terminal application, a complete Java/C/C++/HTML/Android development kit that runs on Android devices. It uses the command line and comes with many powerful and durable open-source applications, plus an on-screen custom ASCII "soft" keyboard (you need to enable it in the device's main keyboard settings), and also extensive universal external "hard" keyboard key mappings. CTRL/ALT/ESC and other keys are accessible.

9.C4droid—C / C ++ comliler&IDE

C4droid is a typical C compiler that can be used on Android devices. It uses the gcc compiler, a compiler commonly used on Unix. Installing C4droid can be a bit tricky, so be mentally prepared.

10.MobileC（Offline Compiler）

The C/C++ compiler is said to be a fully compatible C/C++ compiler. However, in reality it can only compile C code and does not include C++. Still, the C compiler seems to work well, so if you need a C compiler, it may be very useful to you.
