Pydroid buggy on my smartphone - any idea?

Question

Pydroid3 is often recommended as a good solution for writing and running Python code on Android.

Unfortunately I've been having all sorts of issues:

When I run a script and switch screens, the script stops after a while (output just shows a single '

Answer 1

Also, I suggest Dcoder as an alternate

Answer 2

Termux to the rescue... Linux emulator with python3, or you can install legit Debian Linux on top of it for more feature rich Linux on Android experience

Answer 3

I think you can compile with termux.
It's last for me if such happens.
--------------------
I've never encountered problem with pydroid 3 or Qpython.
------------------

Only online compilers left. Most hyped is DCoder. But it's problems too😀. I remember many(me also) encountering '<' symbol crashing or something. Uninstalled 😌
But this symbol isn't important in python as web so you can check it.
They also don't give interactivity as pydroid

Answer 4

What type of Python code were you running when you had it stop? I have never run into that problem myself, but it may be the code you were running.

Answer 5

Just tried that - no change unfortunately. :(

Answer 6

Script stops, yes I think that's an issue of the app itself. Haven't encountered any altered output problem yet so no comment on that. Overall, it's working great for me.

Answer 7

Some claim it enhances your device. (Termux) I have avoided it because I am busy and don't want my time spent in py now.

Now I remember the problem with dcoder.
1) gt or lt >< not supported in web
2)too many ads (for some)
3)asking subscription

For me, it was 1) mainly.

It happened to me, morpheus, and three others on same time😀

Answer 8

Dcoder is pretty good, and it saves your files to your account linked to your Gmail, so you can access them from any device. But I've not been able to work with modules like pygame or tkinter using Dcoder.

Answer 9

Simple console code, absolutely nothing fancy. It runs fine as long as I don't go check my sololearn notifications in between. ;-)

Dcoder, thanks - gonna check it out.

Wait - it seems to be something that runs only online.

I need to load from and save to files; can you do that with Dcoder?

Answer 10

Um, let me see

Answer 11

Not that I'm aware of, personally I use pydroid and pydroid3

Answer 12

Do you happen to have a screenshot or something like that of the exact code you were running? I may be able to see what the problem was with the code

Answer 13

ScoutTrooper, it's not about the code.

Just ran:

print('Hello world!')

Same result.

Answer 14

It may be a bug in the app, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling ?

Answer 15

Hu.. are you using pydroid or pydroid3?

Answer 16

Pydroid3. Even paid the lifetime price. ;-)

Answer 17

Yes, it is, but there isn't much difference in the emulators

Answer 18

Just the python version

Answer 19

ScoutTrooper does Dcoder allow you to install libraries?
When I tried it I couldn't find a way.

Answer 20

Not that I'm aware of, but I believe it comes with most libraries preinstalled
