[BETA | FREE | DISCONTINUED] 💡 NEXT - Extension IDE for App Inventor

[AyProductions]

I know, Rush, revolutionary extension build tool exists. But my IDE is more than just a build tool. You can modify and create code and files directly from NEXT.

Check out my latest project. NEXT (formerly AEX)!

It is an IDE which allows you to create App Inventor extensions but does not let you decompile, because decompiling is unethical.

Latest version

v1.0b3.2 (C | B)

C -- Coming
R -- Released
B -- Beta
A -- Alpha
F -- Final
U -- Unknown

(please note the topic editors that no more than 2 letter tags for the version can be used)
Example: v1.0b3.5 (C | B) can be used, but v10.b3.5 (C | B | F) cannot be used.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why do I get this error message?

It is because you might have not met these requirements

• Apache Ant 1.10.1 or 1.10.6
• Path of JAVA is incorrect.
• You haven't set up the ACOM64 service.

I uploaded the beta version because I want improvements from you.

Mac version is coming soon! (We can't test these until we successfully install MacOS)

Linux version is currently under tests.

I am not very good at writing descriptions. Also, I have not made this to compete with the latest no-code tool, it only came from my head. The actual founder of this is @SHUBHAMR69.

Thank you.

It would be useful to show how you actually create and build an extension with this ? (edited)

[gordonlu310]

Why can't I compile any of my projects, even if they work in Niotron IDE? I installed everything needed.

Will show it

@gordonlu310

Why can't I compile any of my projects, even if they work in Niotron IDE? I installed everything needed.

Open the IDE and click on the settings icon. Set the extension template path and compile it once again.

It runs the command 'ant extensions'.

[AyProductions]

@gordonlu310 did it work?

It had the compilation problem since I was developing. I am having some problems figuring it out.

[Know_About_IT]

Hmm perhaps, are you sure if it is an ide? does it have a code editor, error marking, autocompletions ?

IDE

Integrated Development Environment

[AyProductions]

@Know_About_IT

does it have a code editor

yes

@Know_About_IT

error marking, autocompletions

coming soon.

this is a beta 2 version.

[Know_About_IT]

@AyProductions

yes

Are you sure this is a code editor? where is syntax highlighting

PS : Projects are not saved too

[gordonlu310]

@AyProductions

did it work?

Not quite.

@Know_About_IT

PS : Projects are not saved too

I am aware of that, and also the “New Project” hyperlink does not work too. Maybe you can fix it?

[AyProductions]

@gordonlu310

I am aware of that, and also the “New Project” hyperlink does not work too. Maybe you can fix it?

based on totally different language. I don't think @Know_About_IT can fix it.

From the FAQ

@AyProductions

3. Many buttons, option, and links don't work

Again, Beta 3 will have them fixed.

[AyProductions]

@gordonlu310

Not quite.

whats the error

[AyProductions]

@Know_About_IT

Are you sure this is a code editor? where is syntax highlighting

I accidentally put JavaScript syntax. The JAVA syntax is lost. Have to recreate it which is going to take 2 days.

NEXT is the IDE name. Beta 2 does not have that for random reason.

[AyProductions]

@Know_About_IT

Projects are not saved

This is my first TRUE experience in programming in VB. CType() in the IDE code might be causing the problem.

Save code is the same problem.

[gordonlu310]

@AyProductions

I don't think @Know_About_IT can fix it.

That ‘you’ refers to you.

[AyProductions]

Ah I see, have not understood then.

[AyProductions]

Auto Completion is almost ready!

Do you mean saved project does not show in Recent projects menu?

after i fixed the save bug, everything went haywire.

If anyone wants to translate in these languages please reply:

will add more languages soon.

What to do when there are no tabs ??

[JEWEL]

Add kotlin support like rush

[AyProductions]

Thank you, but I don't understand how Kotlin works, can you please explain it?

I hope you make real extensions now.

[AyProductions]

@JEWEL
