Personally I donât recommend programming on a smartphone.
The main reason is that the compilers are more like emulators and are nearly always missing the more advanced functionality.
Donât get me wrong, certain bits can be programmed, however itâs not a practical development environment.
When dealing with nesting for example, it can become very hard to read the code, with limited screen size/line spacing. This is even worse if using a language like Python that relies on indentation.
Thereâs loads of other reasons, like working on multiple files, debugging, versioning etc that are not possible/too clunky on a mobile environment.
Phones = Great for learning tool/playing with code snippets.
Rigs = Proper setup for a productive working environment.

I agree with DavX , a computer will give you more versatility than a phone.
However, if you only have a phone, you can still learn the basics of many languages through the Sololearn platform.
Then, when you get a computer you will have some knowledge to build on.
Enjoy the journey.
PS: 99% of my coding time is on the phone, but I never expect to work professionally

Depends on the language
Go to playstore and type in "pytthon ide" or anyother language and install I hope this helps

There are ways to run a web stack on your phone (MySQL, php, js, HTML, css) but writing it on a phone isn't easy, and the tools are much worse. For learning purposes it is okay, but a computer is much better.

I think tha the most recommend is learn the basic with the phone in sololearn for example while you can buy a computer.
