The Javascript for Android app from Serakont lets you install the Rhino Javascript Engine on your Android device so you can run JavaScript scripts. It opens up the Android API to your JavaScript code so that it can create threads and views, process events and do anything else a JavaScript app can normally do. You can execute scripts or work directly inside a JavaScript console for a more responsive experience.

JavaScript is a high-level interpreted programming language that sees use on millions of devices around the world. It is one of the core technologies of the modern internet alons with CSS and HTML. It is used by millions of websites and every major internet browser can execute JavaScript code. JavaScript was originally developed by NetScape employee Brendan Eich in 1995 as a way to embed a programming language into Netscape's web browser. The NetScape company doesn't really exist anymore, but JavaScript is still going strong and won't be leaving anytime soon.

As someone who's trying to learn JavaScript, I've used this app to practice my JavaScript skills on the go. It's hard to find the time to practice at home, but thanks to Serakont's JavaScript tool I can practice on the bus, in the car or anywhere else I find myself with a little free time. This has really improved my JavaScript skills and helped me progress as a developer.

This app does not provide exactly the same execution environment as a browser, so you may find that some scripts need tweaking before they will run properly. If you're looking for an app that better simulates a browser environment, the developer has other apps available that can fulfill that need.

Developed by Serakont, this free English language app takes up less than 3 MB on your phone and has been downloaded almost fifty thousand times since it was first uploaded in January of 2016.
