How to Run Java on Acode Using Termux

If you want to code in Java on Acode Editor (assuming you already have it installed), you'll need Termux, a Linux terminal emulator for Android. This guide will walk you through the entire setup process, step-by-step.

Prerequisites

  • Acode Editor installed on your Android device.
  • Termux, a terminal emulator for running Linux on Android.

Step 1: Install Termux via F-Droid

To get started with Termux, you need to install F-Droid:

  1. Download and Install F-Droid:

    • Search for "F-Droid" on your preferred search engine or visit the F-Droid website and download the APK.
    • Install F-Droid on your device.

  2. Install Termux:

    • install the downloaded termux apk

Step 2: Setup Termux

After installing Termux, follow these steps to set it up:

  1. Launch Termux for the First Time:

    • Open Termux and allow it to set up the environment automatically.

  2. Grant Storage Access to Termux:

    • Run the following command to allow Termux to access your device’s storage: 
      termux-setup-storage

  3. Update Termux Package Repositories and Installed Packages:

    • Ensure that Termux is up to date by running the following command: 
      pkg update && pkg upgrade -y

  4. Install Java (OpenJDK 17):

    • Install the Java Development Kit (JDK) by running: 
      pkg install openjdk-17

Step 3: Configure Acode with Terminal Integration

Now that Termux is set up, you can integrate Acode with Termux for running Java.

  1. Open Acode Editor:

    • Launch Acode Editor on your device.

  2. Install the AcodeX Plugin(you can choose any other terminal plugin):

    • Click the three dots in the top-right corner.
    • Go to Settings » Plugins.
    • Switch to the All tab and install the plugin called AcodeX - Terminal.

  3. Install AcodeX Server on Termux:

    • Open Termux and install the AcodeX server by running the following command: 
      curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bajrangCoder/acode-plugin-acodex/main/installServer.sh | bash

  4. Launch the AcodeX Terminal Server:

    • To start the AcodeX terminal server, run: 
      acodex-server
    • Alternatively, you can use the shorter alias: 
      axs
    • To stop the server, use CTRL + C.

Step 4: Link Your Java Projects with Acode

Once everything is set up, follow these steps to open your Java projects in Acode:

  1. Ensure Your Project Resides in the Termux Storage:

    • Ensure that your Java project is stored within the Termux accessible filesystem, such as Termux home dir or internal storage or other locations accessible from Termux.

  2. Start the AcodeX Server on Termux:

    • Ensure the terminal server is running by executing acodex-server in Termux.

  3. Add Your Project Folder to Acode:

    • In Acode, click the three dots, then go to Files.
    • Use the Add Path (or +) button to add Termux paths.
    • Navigate to your Java project folder, select it, and click the ✔ button at the bottom-right corner to add it to the projects sidebar.

  4. Open Your Java Project's Main File:

    • Navigate to the Java project file you want to work on and open it in Acode.

Step 5: Compile and Run Java in Acode

Now, you can compile and run your Java code directly in Acode using the terminal.

  1. Open the Terminal:

    • In Acode, press CTRL + K to open the terminal.

  2. Navigate to Your Project Folder:

    • In the terminal, use the folder icon to navigate to your Java project’s directory.

  3. Compile and Run Your Java Code:

    • To compile your Java file, run the following command: 
      javac YourFileName.java
    • After compiling, run the Java program: 
      java YourFileName

By following these steps, you can successfully run and manage Java projects directly on your Android device using Acode and Termux. Happy coding!
