Re: programming/scripting on an Android device - suggestions ?

Anne,

I would like to be able to program/script on a smartphone itself
(meaning:
not having to use a PC).

Will shell scripting meet your needs?  Android comes with the MirBSD
Korn Shell built in (/system/bin/sh).

Currently I have nothing, so /anything/ would be an improvement.

Just install a terminal emulator APK and start creating your
own shell scripts.

Just *any* terminal emulator ?  Or should it have a specific capability (the
"terminal emulator"s I know of needed to connect by either serial or
ethernet to a server).   IOW, any suggestion to a terminal program* ?

* Termux was suggested.  I assumed it tried to emulate a linux environment,
but reading your post its quite possible that it connects to that Korn
shell.

Android's built-in MirBSD Korn Shell is not an APK.

I was not aware that there was simething build-in available, hence my search
for external software.

Other command-line utilities in Android's /system/bin are not APKs.

A question though : where would I find the above folder ?  I've got a file
browser, but it doesn't show any such folder.
