Converting of app inventor blocks to JavaScript (is USSD possible?)

Herin_Love · August 3, 2020, 11:56pm

I created an app with app inventor and I want to convert the blocks to codes such as JavaScript. Is that possible and if so how can I do that ? Thanks

There is no magic bullet for this.

If you want to do it bit by bit manually, see

I don't know about JavaScript but you can convert your project into Java.

How can u do such ?

Hi,
Why do you need that? If you like JavaScript and want to use AppInvenor, why not create a GUI part with AppInventor and write your logic in JavaScript? In that case, you can use the AppInventor WebView block to call the JavaScript. A good explanation is below:

Are they still alive?

vknow360 · August 4, 2020, 4:05pm

Not sure about now but it was working 2-3 months ago.

This is what the blocks compartment shows , no blocks . Is it supposed to be like this or is this an error ?

Hasn't it been left behind by AI2? I think it relates to Classic.

Herin_Love · August 4, 2020, 10:47pm

Sorry but I don’t understand this

ChrisWard · August 4, 2020, 10:51pm

Sorry Herin. Before "App Inventor 2", which we use now, there was "App Inventor" - since renamed as "App Inventor Classic" to emphasis that they are not one and the same thing.

Now I could be wrong (often am) but I think jbridge was built around App Inventor Classic. If that is the case, it's not going to work well, if at all, with App Inventor 2.

Herin_Love · August 4, 2020, 10:51pm

Wow . Thanks for the information but is there anything else I can do

Herin_Love · August 4, 2020, 10:52pm

Where can I be able to download App inventor classic ?

ChrisWard · August 4, 2020, 10:54pm

Well, App Inventor is a good foundation for any other language. If you have a good understanding of App Inventor, you should be able to learn another language and indeed, if that language is used to make Android Apps, reproduce an App Inventor App.

Can I have a link to download app inventor classic ? Thank you

ChrisWard · August 4, 2020, 11:01pm

App Inventor Classic was moth-balled in 2015 so it can't be compared to AI2 in terms of capability and cannot produce a compliant App for late versions of Android. It would of course still be a good tool for learning.

I don't know if there is a download, sorry. Of course try a Google search.

Herin_Love · August 4, 2020, 11:01pm

I tried but it bringing out only app inventor 2 download

Herin_Love · August 4, 2020, 11:02pm

But what I think I should do is to add java codes through web viewer . Will that work efficiently
