    I’m reading through your draft book and doing the lessons. This is a sweet little program. Nice to be on the edge of it. If you ever teach an online course I would love to know about it.

    I have a subscription to lynda.com. You may want to think about approaching them in the future for an App Inventor course.

    Thanks for your hard work.

    David –

    Absolutely awesome tutorials in function and implementation!

    My nine-year-old and I have been going through the tutorials, and we both can follow along easily and understand the logic and reasoning behind the various pieces. Thank you so much for the great work and contribution to the Android and programming communities. Hopefully we’ll have something useful to contribute as well.

    For now though, we’re just having fun. My six-year-old is anxious to get in on the action. She wants a horse you can pet that will neigh. And the nine-year-old is anxious to associate incorrect sounds with all sorts of animlas. He wants a much longer baseball quiz too – with players he knows. It has been great fun! Like I said, hopefully we’ll have something useful to contribute eventually. 🙂

    It’s great to see kids looking at computer programming as fun. Bestselling author Daniel Pink would be excited to know you’ve come up with a way to make computer programming a play-like activity for elementary school kids (and adults).

    Thanks again for the excellent work!

      Matt and Alex, thanks for your kind words– they really made my day. I’ve been working hard on tutorials and a book we’re trying to complete, and its really nice to hear my work is helping people. I’ll pass your note to the Googlers on the App Inventor team– we all love to hear about kids having fun and building things (they may try to snatch the kids up as software engineers!)

        First I am 13, taking an app inventor class(at a college called DigiPen) and we are learning a lot about electronics(we built a speaker!) and are using app inventor a lot. Your tutorials helped a lot when I am working at home on new projects. I am currently trying to make a new project called Space Invaders like the game completely on my own and i want to know if there is a way so that when I press the fire button, it will shoot(it already shoots and “deletes” bullets when it gets to the edge of screen) but I want there to be a way so that the fire button can make more then one bullet on the screen(in multiple shots) but so that when you press it a second time when first bullet is still on screen it makes a new bullet and doesn’t just reset the first bullet. Thanks so much for you extremely helpful and super positive tutorials! 🙂

      • wolber, on August 17, 2012 at 12:36 am said:

        Hi Alex. Here’s one scheme for having multiple bullets in
        a shooting game.

        1. Create multiple imagesprites, say five, one for each bullet.
        2. Make all of them invisible to start
        3. Keep a variable bulletNumber. It starts out as 1. 1 is associated with bulletSprite1
        2 with bulletSprite2, etc. When shoot button is clicked, use an if to check the bulletNumber,
        and make the right bullet visible and locate it at the right place.
        4. You might want to use imageSprite animation (direction, speed properties) instead of clock timers for this one.
        5. In events like collidedwith, You can use if statements to check which bullet was hit. An alternative is to use
        the AdvancedComponents tab, which allows you to generically do things to imageSprites.

        Hope this helps,

        Dave

    Is there any timeframe where we can expect to see appinventor apps being supported for import into eclipse? I’d love to see the source code for some of your apps and use the functionality to experiment with my own stuff in the android sdk/eclipse environment!

      Hi Phil and thanks. I don’t believe Java/Android SDK code generation is in the immediate App Inventor plans though it is definitely a point of discussion. For now, the only way to connect to code and the web is through the TinyWebDB component (see my site appinventorapi.com).

    Hi David, sorry I’m slightly confused, why mentioned the TinyWebDB component? How is this benefical? I read over it on your site and don’t see how it relates to my question. It’s a shame you cannot export to eclipse. 😦 How difficulut would it be to write Android, where’s my car for example in java? (assuming you are familiar enough with java!)

      Philip! Yea I didn’t follow the “TinyWebDB part” either, but I wasn’t going to say anything. Maybe he meant that even if you could get the generated code for the app, and the code was java, and the code was not crazy looking, and had comments, you still could not get it off the phone as the only mechanism is webDb.

      This is what you were asking: wouldn’t it be great to be able to import the code into Eclipse, after saving the java text to, say, the SD card.

      It is a natural idea, and I feel confident that it will happen, and I expect that Eclipse (which I know noting about) will adopt an optional AI coding feature: you could view code, or selected portions, as blocks as text.

    David,

    Thank you for the fantastic site and all of the hard work. I received my invitation for app inventor earlier this week and finally had the chance to install the necessary tools on my computer and HTC Incredible earlier today.

    I’m a full time physician with an idea for developing an ap to assist my patients. Before I received the invitation to app inventor I was slowly teaching myself Java and C++ via books and online tutorials.

    My question for you is this… Do you think it is wise to “dabble” in multiple programming languages if I am seeking to develop an app as a hobby? I’ll be honest I’m leaning toward the multipronged approach.

    Already, there are tricks I’ve learned in C++ (particularly in manipulating the command line) which have been helpful in Java tutorials and for installing the Android SDK.

    Or should I just concentrate on one platform at a time. Any thoughts?

    Thanks again for the great site.

      Hi Dr. Onyelja. I definitely think the programming concepts you learn in one language transfer easily to another. Sometimes early on its good to focus on one language so as to concentrate on those concepts and not get bogged down with syntax and language differences.

      I’d love to hear your ideas on app for patients. We are gearing up for final projects and I’m sure my students would be interested.

    I teach an Engineering/Design class to 9th graders in NYC. We focus on the design process, problem solving, and teamwork in the context of a design challenge (i.e. build the slowest parachute, design a home for a post-quake Haiti). I’ve been thinking about doing an app design challenge next term. Do you think ninth graders could develop enough skill with app inventor for groups to design their own apps? How long would it take them to get to this level?

Intercom (controller) will send SMS or special signal to cell phone in case of an emergency if any signal from security sensor, or other optional devices.

    Your app inventor tutorials are great! It’s like building LEGO again 🙂 I did my first app in less than 60 minutes.

    I would like to do a multiple choice quiz with 1000+ questions with the wrong answers randomly selected from a pool of categorized answers.

    Obviously this can’t easily be done with App Inventor. I’m lazy. I don’t feel like creating 1000+ blocks by hand.

    I know the programming language Python, so I’m not afraid to look at some code. Do you have a tutorial on how to get started with writing app source code? Do you recommend any books?

    Thank you for creating your tutorials!

      The QuizMe/MakeQuiz tutorial should convince you that the program you envision does not need to have 1000 blocks. 50 is probably more than enough. The questions and answers could all be data.

    I really like the text you have written for the app inventor. I am doing a little translation for the text (into chinese) so that I can share your ideas/knowledge with my friends.

    I do hope to try build a simple app myself. I hope it can render the forum i visited often into a mobile version. The website does have RSS feeds for different sub-forum. So someone suggests that I can use what they call RSS feed reader. I am not sure what app inventor can do in that. I understand I should first get a template, then fill it with the content generated by RSS feed.
    Could u give me a few instructions on where to start (if the app inventor can create something enough just for that purpose)? I am quite amateur in programing but don’t mind trying to learn something new.

    My 9yr old daughter just bought a hacked pandigital 7″ tablet for $120. Thanks to you, google, and slatedroid she’ll soon be writing her own apps on it and learning how fun software development can be once you learn the tools. This reminds me of how fun it was to work through the applesoft basic tutorials in the early 80’s when I was in high school and apple liked to share all information about their products. The app inventor environment is going to revolutionize programming and help elementary school kids learn math through play.

    Hello Sir, i’m just read and follow Quiz Me tutorial. At this paragraph

    “The problem with the app is that it always increments the currentQuestionIndex variable when the NextButton is clicked. When currentQuestionIndex is already 3 and the user clicks the NextButton, the app changes currentQuestionIndex from 3 to 4, then calls select list item to get the currentQuestionIndexth, or in this case, the 4th item. Since there are only three items in the variable QuestionList, Android complains.

    What the app needs to do is ask a question– check a condition– when the NextButton is clicked, and execute different blocks dependending on the answer. One way to ask the question is to ask, “is the variable currentQuestionIndex already 3?” If the answer is yes, you should set currentQuestionIndex back to 0 so the user is taken back to the first question.”

    When i use “if test-then do” block my “next” button didn’t work after that, but if i change with “ifelse” block it works just fine.

    Can you explain that? are there somethings that i forget? Can you reply to my email please? Thank for your attention sir

    Hello Prof. Wolber,

    I have a question about, playing videos on the webviewer, according to your post (http://www.appinventor.org/media-editing) the only possible way to view videos is with the use of the ActivityStarter component. Right now I’m building a simple browser app and I have everything set to go, the only thing I’m missing are playing media objects on the webviewer (e.g. videos on youtube), you said that the activity starter is the only way but I can’t seem to figure out where to attach it, there’s no if Link in webviewer is clicked block where I can put the command call activitystarter.startactivity, so I made a little test, I made a button (a play button) where its set to playbutton.click->set activitystarter.dataUri to webviewer.currentURL->call activitystarter.startactivity and it works, it plays the video, but what happens is that it opens the phones built-in browser and you play the video from there, which is kinda off because I want users to use my browser not the built in phone browser.

    So what I’m trying to say is how can I play the video when the user presses the play video on the webviewer? Where do I attach the startactivity block when there is no if links or media files on webviewer is click block to attach it on.

    Hope to hear your suggestions,

    -Jo

    Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own
    blog soon but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m
    looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    Hi, I have used this AppInventor for about 3 weeks so far and liked it a lot. Is there any plan to provide blocks for PhoneCall.CallReceived (phone number) and Radio buttons?

    As of now, I am using checkboxes and writing some code to mimic the Radio buttons. But if built-In Radio buttons are available, we can save effort for all developers.

    I have written a bunch of c++code and have an executable file that
    I would like to be called from within AppInventor.

    How can I run a c++ executable from within AppInventor?
    I will then display the output from within AppInventor.

    Many Thanks!

    hi,
    issue with my app inventor. i have a simple quiz app, but the third an final question is a problem. for every answer, when the correct answer is inputted, it comes up with correct.. however on the last question.. it seems to always output incorrect (even when correct), followed by the emulator crashing as a result due to some number absence or something like that. this is part of my GCSE coursework so i would appreciate a reply as soon as possible.

    Note: Head of department and nearly anybody with any qualification cannot find an issue with the block program

    Hi David,
    I am a teacher at a girls school.
    We need an app for the girls to which i can push notices to remind them to check deadlines and new notes.
    I have reviewed many of the App inventor sites but have not been successful. Also most of the tinyweb links are dead.
    I have seen the texting function but that seems to work on phone numbers which would not be usable with approx. 1000 recipients.
    If push notices are not possible would you send to me the block config for RSS please. I see mention of it but again dead links.
    sorry to bother you but …..
    thanks
