What's the best Android app to run Python scripts for app testing?

Question

Hello all,

I want to train coding on the go and researched a few times what could be the best workflow to test python code on a smartphone. I'm not a total beginner but still at the beginning.
I want to use an spare phone with the delivered OS (Android), because no time for tinkering around with custom rom etc.
So I tried the way to install F-Droid and Termux.
But it's not as easy as I thought.

What I want to try is:
Write a app to wireless read out data of an esp32-S3 with a imu on-board.

Does anybody has experience with a workflow or set of apps which could help me to get to a working prototype fast?

Or a learning path that leads me in the right direction?

Kind regards

Answer 1

Install Pydroid 3 for Python coding on Android,
use ESPHome or PlatformIO for ESP32-S3 firmware
also Kivy for building the app.
For wireless communication, you can also explore Bluetooth or Wi-Fi with ESP-IDF but i am not sure about it.

Answer 2

There are several apps out there, but I recommend you to use, Pydroid3
It's a very powerful with a large amount of supported libraries, included pygame, PyQt5, turtle... available for android
