Questions on Java Setup, Error Notifications, and Code Organization for iPad

Open Kumar-arc8434 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hello, I am a Grade 11 student, and throughout this semester, I will be coding in Java. My teacher provided us with the "Ready to Program Java" software (version 1.4.2). While it does show which lines have errors, but only after hitting run, it doesn't notify me about spelling mistakes or offer suggestions. As a beginner, I believe it would be helpful to have these features to learn from my mistakes. Is there a setting in the app to enable these features?

I would also like something close to vs code and I have seen a video from 2 years ago looking very similar so is it the same yet?

Additionally, will Java run locally on my iPad using this software? I would also like to save all my code in organized folders. Is it possible to save and easily open my files later on the iPad?

Hello, thanks for reaching out!

The features you mentioned are either in development or available in the current app version:

  • Local Java execution is available since 1.6.0
  • Auto completion / error detection for Java is available in the beta version

As for saving files, it works exactly like on a desktop computer. Any files or folders created in Code App are available for viewing in Apple's Files App.
