DroidScript is a coding tool for building native Android apps with JavaScript or Python, as well as HTML5 apps. It works without an internet connection. Its WiFi IDE runs in a browser and lets users remotely control, edit, and debug apps on connected Android devices over WiFi. Learning resources include documentation, runnable code examples, and samples. An APK Builder plugin can package apps for release on Google Play, and the visual UI designer supports interface work. Listed plugins cover barcode reading, GoPro control, Lego Mindstorms NXT, Sphero, and MOGA gamepads. Users can make private or open-source plugins with the Plugin SDK and add extensions to the WiFi IDE. The v3.00 release notes list an improved editor, a package registry, a drag-and-drop layout extension, and DriveBackup extension. DroidScript is free to download, with optional paid plugins and donations. It targets Android, Amazon Fire, and ChromeOS, and also lists Windows, macOS, and Linux desktop platforms.
