Android Studio Lite

Open-source, phone-first IDE for Android — create and manage projects, edit files, run cloud builds, and install APKs, all on device.

Play / competition project. This was built for a small competition. It is shared as-is and may not receive continued support, fixes, or feature work after the event.

Built with Cursor and Grok 4.5.

Most of the codebase was reviewed by the author. The Git integration work is the main exception and may be less thoroughly reviewed.

Features

• Projects — create, list, open, delete; import/export ZIP
• Files — sandboxed browser (create, rename, move, copy, delete)
• Editor — edit sources with save, auto-save, wrap text, and syntax coloring
• Git — status, stage/commit, history, branches, remotes, merge conflict resolve (on-device via JGit)
• Build — GitHub Actions cloud build → download APK → install
• Build history — past and running jobs
• Auth / connect — GitHub device-flow for cloud builds
• Settings — theme (Dark / Light / Dracula), build account, about
• Onboarding — first-launch welcome and optional account connect

Architecture (short)

The app is split into feature modules, each typically:

model · api · data · presentation · di

Cross-feature navigation lives in :integration:navigation (IdeNavHost). Features own their inner multi-step flows (list ↔ detail ↔ progress, etc.) as thin NavHosts. Shared UI tokens and components live in :designsystem.

Busy screens follow a Screen Context shape: a small context holds services and exits; UI and logic are extensions under ui/ and logic/, with a state-only ViewModel — not one mega-Composable wiring table.

Big screen structure

Area	What you navigate
Projects	Project list and create/import flows
Files	File browser; Project Git (Changes / History / Branches) as an inner route
Editor	Single-file editor opened from Files or Git
Build	Start → progress → install; history list/detail
Settings	Theme, build account, about
Onboarding	Welcome → connect or skip

Deeper module map: project/architecture.md.

Requirements

• Android 8.0+ (minSdk 26)
• Android Studio / JDK 11+ for building from source
• GitHub account for cloud builds (device-flow connect)

Build & run

./gradlew :app:assembleDebug
./gradlew :app:installDebug

Open the project in Android Studio and run the app configuration on a device or emulator.

Release APKs can be produced via the release-apk GitHub Actions workflow (see .github/workflows/).

Stack

• Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material 3
• Koin, Room, Coroutines
• JGit (on-device Git)
• Feature modules + :designsystem + :core:error

Issues and pull requests are welcome on GitHub. Given the play/competition nature of the project, expect limited maintainer bandwidth.
