Hi everyone! Do you have any ideas for an extension and a very simple tool to ease your App Inventor project?

I ran out of ideas!!!

I will create it for you!

I am not good at grammar so you may find mistakes in the extensions

There are a lot of blocks waiting to be developed.

You can go through the Kodular documentation, and convert Kodular components into App Inventor extensions.

For example, we do not have this block.

You can try to bring them into App Inventor.

For reference, you can try Android Developers or Stack Overflow.

Good luck!

Hi @AyProductions .
you can make a camera extension that uses the camera without letting the user know it uses the camera.
(I want It for my Professor and he want it for a security app)

An Extension to read a binary file.

Read from a selectable byte position with a selectable length.
Output should be a number (or list of numbers), not a string.

        description = "",

        category = ComponentCategory.EXTENSION,

        nonVisible = true,

        iconName = "")

@SimpleObject(external = true)

@UsesPermissions(permissionNames = "android.permission.CALL_PHONE")

public class UssdRunner extends AndroidNonvisibleComponent {

    private Context context;

    private Activity activity;

    public UssdRunner(ComponentContainer container){

        super(container.$form());

        this.activity = container.$context();

        this.context = container.$context();

    }

    @SimpleFunction

    public void RunUssd(String ussdCode){

        TelephonyManager manager = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

        manager.sendUssdRequest(ussdCode, new TelephonyManager.UssdResponseCallback() {

            @Override

            public void onReceiveUssdResponse(TelephonyManager telephonyManager, String request, CharSequence response) {

                ReceivedUssdResponse(request, response.toString().trim());

                       

            }

            @Override

            public void onReceiveUssdResponseFailed(TelephonyManager telephonyManager, String request, int failureCode) {

                ReceivedUssdResponseError(request, failureCode);

            }

        }, new Handler());

    }

    @SimpleEvent

    public void ReceivedUssdResponse(String request, String response){

        EventDispatcher.dispatchEvent(this, "ReceivedUssdResponse", request, response);

    }

    @SimpleEvent

    public void ReceivedUssdResponseError(String request, int failureCode){

        EventDispatcher.dispatchEvent(this, "ReceivedUssdResponseError", request, failureCode);

    }

Well @AyProductions , @Divanan just requested and any extension developer is free to make it. Its not that you own this topic and whoever wants a extension only you have allowance to make it anyone can make it if they are quick enough to do before you.

Hi @Aarush_Kumar. First of all, I cant see that he requested it in his/her reply!

That is why I told him that it's my job to create the extension for him

It is not open-source development in any way. I will not host any extensions source code.

I couldn't find the category of closed-source extension development so I chose that :wink:!

you can pm me to make extensions open-source!

AND I OWN THIS TOPIC!

Can we have a designer element that serves as a spacer. I always use label then delete the text and re size accordingly. Maybe bad practice on my part. But I can end up with many labels used as a gap in the design. Could have Hgap and Vgap with just size property.
Andy.
