Hi. There are several extensions that allow you to create a side menu. Some are paid, some are free. The downside of such an extension is the limitations in the appearance and functionality of such a menu. I will present a way to make your own menu, which I think will not differ from the professional menu, but will be limited only by the programmer's imagination. You can add any components to the menu. You can, for example, add checkboxes to change any settings in the menu, any icons, separators or labels. Even text boxes are possible. This method in its basic form does not require any extension. However, I used this extension: blocks (95) 1665×491 86.6 KB As you can see the blocks are very simple. The menu uses buttons and clickable pictures. The clock is used for animation. The menu items appear sequentially. When a menu item is selected, the screen closes and text is returned to the first screen. When we click next to the menu, the screen closes without returning any text. On screen 1 there is a button that opens the menu. Blocks handle events after receiving text from the menu screen.

Connectivity Table of Contents: • • • • • ActivityStarter A component that can launch an activity using the StartActivity method. Activities that can be launched include: • Starting another App Inventor for Android app. To do so, first find out the class of the other application by downloading the source code and using a file explorer or unzip utility to find a file named “youngandroidproject/project.properties”. The first line of the file will start with “main=” and be followed by the class name; for example, main=com.gmail.Bitdiddle.Ben.HelloPurr.Screen1. (The first components indicate that it was created by [email protected].) To make your ActivityStarter launch this application, set the following properties: • ActivityPackage to the class name, dropping the last component (for example, com.gmail.Bitdiddle.Ben.HelloPurr) • ActivityClass to the entire class name (for example, com.gmail.Bitdiddle.Ben.HelloPurr.Screen1) • Starting the camera application by setting the following properties: • Action: android.intent.action.MAIN • ActivityPackage: com.android.camera • ActivityClass: com.android.camera.Camera • Performing web search. Assuming the term you want to search for is “vampire” (feel free to substitute your own choice), set the properties to: • Action: android.intent.action.WEB_SEARCH • ExtraKey: query • ExtraValue: vampire • ActivityPackage: com.google.android.providers.enhancedgooglesearch • ActivityClass: com.google.android.providers.enhancedgooglesearch.Laun...

This tutorial will show you how to work with a list and TinyDB. Level: Beginner/Intermediate You will learn: How to create a list and save items to it How to save the list to a TinyDB How to set the list when opening the app How to set a listpicker elements to a list How to delete an item from the list How to avoid duplicates in a list This tutorial also shows: How to use a procedure in your workflow How to build a "list display" in a label How to use the notifier for information and confirmation The generation and manipulation of lists, and their retrieval is often a main part of most developers work in AI2, and where many new developers get "stuck". It is therefore useful to understand how to create and save lists, and ensure that the users data is available for future use. Developers tend to get a bit carried away with the opportunity to store data in a database, and often develop complex tag:value setups. This is very often not necessary. Work with lists in the app, then save those lists to the tinydb as they change, and return the lists from tinydb at startup. This way you only have to work with the lists, and not worry so much about the tinydb. This also keeps things simple. It is worth remembering that when an app is first installed, the tinydb will be empty. you cannot store data in a tinydb during development for it to be available in the final app/apk. Different methods are required for this. Here is a short video of the example app in action. Designer: The app i...

App Inventor is an intuitive, visual programming environment that allows everyone, even those with no prior coding experience, to build fully functional applications for smartphones and tablets. Those new to App Inventor can have a simple first app up and running in under 30 minutes. The tool allows anyone to program more complex, impactful apps in significantly less time than with more traditional programming environments. The MIT App Inventor project seeks to democratize software development by empowering all people, especially young people, to transition from being consumers of technology to becoming creators of it. MIT students and staff, led by Professor Hal Abelson, form the nucleus of an international movement of inventors. In addition to leading educational outreach around MIT App Inventor and conducting research on its impacts, this core team maintains the free online app development environment that serves more than four million registered users.

MIT App Inventor is an educational tool to learn computational thinking and computational action principles through building mobile apps. Used by over one million people worldwide every year, it is one of the premier platforms for computer science education. Use this companion app to test drive projects, debug blocks code, and show your friends and family your creations. Using a blocks based programming language, design and code your own projects, or use one of the many books and curricula to learn about coding. App Inventor also includes built-in tutorials for running student workshops. This version of App Inventor includes over 60 components, from user interface elements such as buttons and switches, to sensors, connectivity and multimedia components so your projects can interact with the world. We have been hard at work improving MIT App Inventor functionality. This version includes the following enhancements and bug fixes: * Implemented WebRTC support for improved connectivity * Implemented the Translator component * Added Player support for HTTPS media streams * Security improvements related to upcoming changes in browsers * Fixed some hard coded constants * Fixed an issue where the navigation bar would not reflect the project's PrimaryColor property * Added a warning dialog if not on an active Wifi connection * Fixed some internal rendezvous issues * Fixed an issue where screens might be garbage collected early, resulting in crashes * Fixed some issues related to Can...

Those new to MIT App Inventor can have a simple first app up and running in less than 30 minutes. And what's more, our blocks-based tool facilitates the creation of complex, high-impact apps in significantly less time than traditional programming environments. The MIT App Inventor project seeks to democratize software development by empowering all people, especially young people, to move from technology consumption to technology creation. This week it was announced that Mass Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC) will present CSAIL principal investigator Hal Abelson’s team with the Distinguished Leadership Award for their work on the MIT App Inventor.App Inventor is a cloud-based open-source tool that lets users of all skill levels create working apps via smartphones and tablets. It serves as educational platform for teaching computing in middle school and high school, aimed at creating excitement around computer science at younger ages. CoolThink@JC, a four-year initiative of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, was launched today to empower the city’s primary school teachers and students with computational thinking skills, including coding.Developed through a collaboration with MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the Education University of Hong Kong, and City University of Hong Kong, the eventual aim is to integrate computational thinking into all Hong Kong primary schools. Initially, CoolThink@JC will target over 16,500 student...
