Developer Description
deVStudio - Runs Visual Studio Code on Android
Note: This is currently a very minimal install. So you have to add some packages and extensions based on your need.
For example if you wanted to do C++ development you would do the following:
1) in the termal: sudo apt install build-essential gdb
2) in vscode: install the C++ extension
3) have fun
Versions already setup for certain development flows will be added in the future.
About Visual Studio Code:
Visual Studio Code, also commonly referred to as VS Code, is a source-code editor made by Microsoft. Features include support for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, code refactoring, and embedded Git. Users can change the theme, keyboard shortcuts, preferences, and install extensions that add functionality.
You can read more about it here: https://code.visualstudio.com/
How to use this deVStudio Android app:
When using the graphical interface, use vscode just like normal. But here are some specifics to the Android interface.
* Tap with one figure to left click.
* Move mouse by sliding around one finger.
* Pinch to zoom.
* Press and hold and then slide one finger to pan (useful when zoomed in).
* Slide two fingers up and down to scroll.
* If you want to bring up a keyboard, tap on the screen to get a set of icons to appear and then click the keyboard icon.
* If you want to do the equivalent to a right click, tap with two fingers.
* If you want to change the desktop scaling, find the service android notification and click the settings. You have to stop and restart the app after changing this settings for it to take effect.
This is all easier to do on a tablet and with a stylus, but it can be done on a phone or using your finger as well.
To access files from the rest of Android, there are many useful links in your home directory (/home/userland) to places like your Documents, Pictures, etc. No need to import or export files.
If you don't want to, or cannot pay the cost of this app, you can run vscode via the UserLAnd app by installing all the necessary packages etc.

Impressive, can actually install the necessary C# extensions... this makes the Samsung DEX a real programming environment, hope the dev packages a web browser like Chromium in it so we can easily login to Microsoft Azure and github.
I wish tell dev fix illigal status issue deVStudio has entered an illegal state! Bad state transition: [IncorrectSession Transition (event=SessionSelected(session=Session(id=1, name=devstudio, filesystemId=1, filesystemName=apps, active=false, serviceType=vnc, port=2022, pid=0, isAppsSession=true), isProtected=false), state=DownloadingAssets(numCompleted=1, numTotal=2))] We are working to resolve these issues. You can let us know about this issue on Github if you'd like to help! Now working :)
Nice simple Linux distro with simple ui. How do you change the scaling, I don't want to change the resolution. I was ready to compile it for android smh this saved me the hussle. How is VS code not compiled for android?!
This is pretty close to working, closest vscode on android/Dex, but has some pretty large bugs that make it almost unusable. When editing a file '5' is generating a 'backspace' and '6' is doing a 'tab'. There are a few places inside of the vscode where this happens, but it very consistant in any text file, making it unusable. The terminal, in vscode, locks up making it also unusable at times. The other xterm works well. Saving auto-scale (and other perferences) would be nice.
Just like code server. I need Ubuntu and what is here is Debian. It's just wasted money buying this app. it doesn't show files that are already on my phone before when i open the folder except the one i created with it. It's not user friendly
