If you want your hard-earned, complex code, and "forgotten" cool solutions on-the-go this one is for you.

It's a great little code reader that enhances your current coding knowledge with all of your past coding expertise.

How many times did the Internet solution worked out of the box - like never. But you needed it and you spent three days to make it work a year ago. With Code Peeker, you can share that success during a job-interview or meeting rather than promise "Good question, let me get back to you".

Code Peeker opens practically any code you throw at it. So your old code stays nicely visible together with the latest of your solutions. It has a syntax highlighter and enumerates the lines for easy viewing.

It also opens from both external SD and internal memory!

It supports a wide variety of new and old languages such as:
- ActionScript 3 (as3)
- Terminal scripts (bash, shell, sh)
- C/C++ (c, cc, cpp, h, hpp)
- C# (c-sharp, csharp, cs)
- CSS
- Delphi/Pascal
- Diff/patch files
- Groovy
- Java
- JavaFX (jfx)
- JavaScript (js, jscript)
- Perl (pl)
- PHP
- Text (txt)
- PowerShell (ps)
- Python (py)
- Ruby (rails, ror)
- Scala
- SQL
- Visual Basics (vb, vbnet)
- Verilog & System Verilog (v, sv)
- XML (xml, xaml, xslt, html, xhtml)

If Code Peeker can't recognize the extension it will open the source as plain text. No color highlighting but at least you still can see it.

IMPORTANT:
- It is 100% free.
- No creepy permissions required.
- No secret Internet connectivity required.
- No ads.

Some notes about the current version.

(Optional) You can use any file browser app already installed on your Android device. Some phones come with it, others don't. If you don't want to use the built in file browser, download "File Expert". It's better than Astro File Manager and has no ads.

NEXT PLANNED FEATURES
- Open files from other sharing intent (open from Gmail, File Explorer, etc)
- SDcard read support in file explorer

Please remember - it is a reader NOT an editor. If you like doing actual coding while looking at pages of code through a straw and no actual compiler - this one is totally not for you.

If you're happy with it, just leave a message =)

If you're not happy with something (or have a feature request), let me know. I am easily contactable via email. Don't just give me a 1 star rating and go away.

Got a request? Send me an email. I can't reply to comments in the market or ask you for more details.

    For something so nice, simple and overall good for many different reasons, being free without containing ads is plain amazing..

    I tried few such apps but this one has lowest performance hit smooth as butter. The only thing it lacks is the ability to force syntax highlighting for files that's not formatted according to extension.

    Totally unresponsive when opening files. Somehow does not have the ability to highlight code features which are common to all languages, of languages it doesn't know. And it doesn't even know perl.

    Major drawbacks include: no way to have syntax highlighting for files with nonstandard extensions i.e. .cxx, the app always shows useless "about" page on startup, extremely pure configuration options.
