Coding is normally done on the desktop, as the keyboard provides special keys. The keyboard of android phones is usually limited in this respect.

Is coding possible smart phones at all ?

    Yeah, Samsung’s dex is pretty amazing for this (only on the high end gear, I believe). Suck its a Samsung value add, cos they’re horroble devices

      I’ve done the same thing on lineageos using xwindows. A little clunk to be sure. And the phone ran HOT, but it worked.

        Nice! I didn’t l know you could (never looked into it it).

        We considered trying dex at work but the cost of the phones was so much more than a thin client it really wasn’t worth it
