To write a note containing a mathematical formula in Android smartphones, I use 920 Text Editor Apps. Weakness, due to the limited display on-screen keyboard smartphone, to write '\' (backslash), we need press the button [?123], [=\<], then ['\'].

LaTeX Editor Apps include the [] and some important buttons on the screen, but make the working window smaller .

How to make writing LaTeX syntax in the smartphone becomes easier, eg:

    \documentclass typed as .dc
    \usepackage typed as .up
    \begin{document} typed as .bd

 Note: type [.] (dot) in the smartphone is much easier than type '\'.

Then, when compiling in TeXnicCenter,

    .dc reads as \documentclass
    .up reads as \usepackage
    .bd reads as \begin{document}

Normally, I am compiling in Laptop using TeXnicCenter. Except for urgent needs, I am compiling it using TeX Portal Apps.

    I see your point, but personally I believe this is some of those things that people shouldn't insist on going "smartphone-wise". If you want to write a complete document, write it in your computer. If not, create a pre-existing template that you can copy and then just "fill in the blanks".

  • I have used a template, but for writing other syntax, we still need to type '\', for example, to write '\vec{a} \times \vec{b}' and others. Thus, I mean, how to translate . (dot) or another character into '\' (backslash) in TeXnicCenter? Thanks.

    Have you considered swtching to a keyboard designed for coding like Hacker's Keyboard? The `\` character and others useful for coding are shown upfront

  • backslash key is not lost, but to press it need 3 steps.

A part of problem has been resolved. I wrote in a lightweight markup formats markdown, then compiled in a laptop using pandoc.
