Wishing for Android IDE and Designer

Given the capabilities of the tablets, I think it would be great if someone in the community would develop a B4a Android based IDE and Designer/layout editor. What I envision would have the following features.

1. All the essential features of the code editor.
2. Syntax checker
3. Inclusion/loading libraries
4. Semi-automatic saving of files to designated off-device storage including desktop/laptop and cloud storage.
5. Designer with most of the capabilities of the desktop version, but with the ability to switch back and forth between the text (main) window and the graphic window.

Compiling would still need to be done on the Windows computer.

Of course, what occurred to me while I was writing this is that under many circumstances one could always use a remote desktop client. And yet, at least for me, there are many times when no connection over the Internet is possible (my tablet is WiFi only, no LTE for example).

what's wrong with using a USB cable to connect your tablet to the pc?

why would you connect to a remote computer when it's not near the tablet to compile to?
