Any good text editor - Android app - optimised for programmers? [closed]

Are there any good Android apps - text editors, optimised for programmers?

I'm asking about an Android app which is an editor! I am not interested in editors running on a desktop/laptop computers for editing Android programs. Features I am looking for:

  • popular programming languages' syntax highlighting (JavaScript, Python, Lua, ...),
  • visual matching of parentheses (for Lisp lovers),
  • auto indentation,
  • touch a word/identifier to start searching for it,
  • reading/writing to SD card, Dropbox, github,
  • code autocompletion,
  • open source.

Any combination of the above would be great, I don't even dream about all of them in one app.

Is QuickEdit offline?

Just use quickedit for offline editing but you can compile code in dcoder if you have internet connection) I use Dcoder. Its similar to code playground but supports more languages. But an IDE for a specific language is even better like Cxxdroid and Pydroid as James suggested.

I've been looking for exactly this, as I'm a Computer Science student wanting to replace my netbook with the Nexus 7.

I've found DroidEdit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aor.droidedit.pro

Along with Hacker's Keyboard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard

I have yet to use them, but they're both well reviewed and seem to be our best options.
