public class CodeEditor

An IDE style source code editor with syntax highlighting, a line-number gutter and asynchronous code completion.

CodeEditor is built for editing source code on both touch devices (with the virtual keyboard) and desktops (with a physical keyboard). Code completion is driven by a CodeCompletionProvider, which can resolve proposals locally or from a remote language server.

Like RichTextArea, ports with low-level text input use the pure Codename One text engine (com.codename1.ui.editor) with a built-in incremental syntax highlighter. Ports without that input contract use an editable BrowserComponent fallback, and a port can transparently supply a native code editor instead.

Example

CodeEditor editor = new CodeEditor();
editor.setLanguage("java");
editor.setText("public class Main {\n\n}");
editor.setCompletionProvider((ed, code, cursor, results) -> {
    List<CodeCompletion> out = new ArrayList<>();
    out.add(new CodeCompletion("System.out.println(", "System.out.println()").setType("method"));
    results.onSucess(out);
});
form.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, editor);
