Code examples for all the palette components

MIT App Inventor Help
1

I have been here a week and am making a bit of progress but I can't seem to find any examples of code to do generic things like connect to Bluetooth, open close, read and write to a file etc. There will be many more for each of the items in the pallet

I have looked at the tutorials but you have to wade through them to see if they contain what I want. I have found reference to "The Gallery" where is it? its isn't immediately obvious, there are no links from the website front page, the app or the forum. The "Your topic is similar to..." on the right doesn't give me any clues. The documentation does give a brief example of the function of each all of the blocks for each item in the pallet, but no example of their use.

I realise I am missing something pretty fundamental here and someone will point out what I am looking for and it will all become blindingly obvious. In the meantime I am resorting to copilot to help me in a pseudo code sort of way.

Thanks

This is the community isn't it? If so yes, but everything here is from those seeking assistance. If it isn't, there isn't a link to the community in the app, just a link to "Forums"

Thanks for the link. Why isn't it in the "Help" tab on the app, somewhere around the tutorials area on the web pages or in the documentation pages? If its is it isn't obvious

Update: I have had a look at the gallery and it isn't really what I was looking for. That is working examples of all the Palette components that can be built upon.
