C4droid 4.11 APK

C4droid is a user-friendly but powerful C/C++ IDE + C/C++ compiler for Android.


Basic features :

• Offline compiler :
  
  • Create your own applications on Android device and run them even without Internet access.

• No root required but C4droid can use it for your programs if you want.
• Full ANSI C and ISO C99 support with TCC + uClibc.
• Source code editor with syntax highlighting, tabs, code completion, code formatting, file association and infinite undo/redo.
• Customizable GUI, choose where to place tabs and buttons by yourself. Themes are also supported.
• Export and share your programs as APKs or native executables. (For terminal apps)

More features with a free GCC plugin :

• Full C++ and almost complete C++11 support with GCC + Bionic libc.
• NativeActivity, Qt, SDL and SDL2 support for GUI.
• The most recent version of GCC always available.

• Makefile support :
  
  • Use the same build scripts as on your PC. (BusyBox is included)

• Semi-automatic open-source library porting feature for enhanced programming and education.

How to install C++ support?

• C4droid will ask you to install C++ support at first startup and will configure itself in semi-automatic mode.
• If you want to do that manually, you need :
  
  • Enough internal memory OR root rights. C4droid does not require root rights for devices with more than 50MB of free internal memory.
  • Install GCC plugin. (C4droid will ask you to install it)
  • Select G++ compiler in C4droid preferences.
  • Use iostream and not iostream.h,
  • Add "using namespace std;" to your program. (Before int main)

How to use SDL, SDL2, NativeActivity and Qt in single-file mode?

• Just install SDL plugin and select G++ compiler in C4droid preferences.

• Note that C4droid chooses app mode using a very simple source code analysis :
  
  • SDL is detected with #include "SDL.h".
  • SDL2 is detected with #include "SDL2/SDL.h".
  • NativeActivity is detected with #include "android_native_app_glue.h".
  • Qt is detected with #include "QApplication".

• If you are compiling a single-file Qt app, you must add #include "yoursourcefilenamewithcpp.moc" to the end of source code file also.

How to use Makefiles, multifile projects, etc?

• Long-click compile button or select "compilation settings" if buttons are hidden/moved and configure current directory to use the mode you want.
• Note that C4droid will create .c4droid configuration file when you will press Ok. Some modes like makefile require to enter result executable file name and don't forget to do that.
• After doing that all use compile and run buttons to build and run your app as regular.

How to build and install libraries?

• Almost the same way as regular Makefile building except for that most probably some patching may be required.
• Currently tested libraries are gmp (internal memory only),mpfr,mpc,libxml2,neon,sqlite and SDL_gfx. (Disable-mmx required)

Which gestures/keyboard shortcuts does C4droid support?

• Long-click gestures :
  
  • Save button : Save as.
  • Open button : Recent files.
  • Run button : Run with arguments.
  • Compile button : Cconfigure current directory.
  • Tab : Close tab.

Keyboard shortcuts :

• Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-X for Copy, Paste and Cut.
• Ctrl-S, Ctrl-O for Save/Open.
• Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-Y for Undo/Redo.
• Ctrl-L for "go to Line".
• Ctrl-F for Find.
• Ctrl-A for select All.
• Ctrl-B for Build/compile.
• Ctrl-R for Run.
• Ctrl-Space/Ctrl-D for autocompletion. (Ctrl-Space may be reserved by Android)
