Again, this can all too easily be done with basic blocks and maths...

Follow the guidelines for extensions:

##PLEASE READ FIRST## Posting a new extension to the community

Submission of new extensions The community has adopted a new approach to the posting of extensions on the community, and all new extensions are now put through an evaluation process. We do recognise that you have put a lot of time and effort into creating your extension. We want you to be able to present your extension in the best condition possible, as bug free as possible, with the best documentation, and the Power Users may provide you with several recommendations of how to improve your ex…

[FREE] Time Converter Extension

Even though your extension can be replicated by Blocks, it is welcome here. It is great you learned to make an extension and decided to share it. Some users will use it, others will use Blocks. App Inventor is mainly an educational tool and we are glad you were able to create the Time Converter. Yes, you may delete the topic but I would not. Great work. Thanks for sharing and posting it.

@TIMAI2

[AyProductions]

So that means even though I make simple extensions I won't make it right?

It saves some time for people, not everybody knows the formula for it so I saved their time ...

@TIMAI2

Again

and you are also showing the uselessness of my extensions ...which does not inspire me to make any extensions...

no, please no flagging this...

[preetvadaliya]

@AyProductions he is not demotivating you, but he is saying that you can easily make these kind of functionality using built-in blocks.

We all are trying to keep community clean and more user-friendly for beginners.

And the meaning of extension is to increase the functionality of any platform if you are making extensions for App Inventor then it must be helpful for someone and I think this extension doesn't make much sense.

[AyProductions]

did you know how much effort i took to make this extension?

[AyProductions]

it saves people's times

not everybody knows how to find out the perimeter of square , do they?

[preetvadaliya]

@AyProductions I know that how much time is required, hardly 5 to 10 minutes because I am also Developer.

But I can say one thing for learning it takes too much time so I can understand.

Don't blame @TIMAI2 because he is respected person of the community and he helped lot's of people even me also.

[AyProductions]

ok i wont blame but please do not say this extension doesn't make any sense

[Nicola_Imperati]

Apprezziamo la tua buona volontà per aver creato questa estensione; ma un'estensione rappresenta quella funzionalità in più; che non è già presente in modo nativo, all'interno di Mit App Inventor.

[AyProductions]

thanks so much !

[Gordon_Lu]

I know that people like to make extensions. However, if you go back to the documentation of extensions, you see:

App Inventor Extensions let anyone create Extension Components. Extension components can be used in building projects, just like other components. The difference is that extension components can be distributed on the Web and loaded into App Inventor dynamically: they do not have to be built into the App Inventor system, and they can be imported into projects as needed.

Your extension is not too bad, but what you are doing now is kind of replicating App Inventor built-in blocks. One or two test extensions for learning is enough, you do not need to post too many of them. This is why an evaluation process is taken before you post every extension.

Extensions are components that are meant to be not available with built-in blocks. Thank you for your effort, but please see @TIMAI2 's topic. Usually everybody know the formula of calculating squares and triangles.

Also, Tim is not demotivating you - he is just trying to maintain the order of the community. He is our power user and a moderator. One test extension is enough. You do not need to post multiple topics of test extensions.

Off Topic

@AyProductions

com.ayproductions.appinventor.extensions.arithmetic.geometry.perimeterandarea.perimetercalculator.PerimeterCalculator

Isn't it a very very big package name

[AyProductions]

It sure is!

@Horizon

[Gordon_Lu]

By definition, a test extension is an extension that can be replicated with built-in blocks. I know users feel happy about the result of extensions (me too), but too much is not good.

[AyProductions]

Just added it for fun...

[NishyanthKumar]

I was hoping for more shapes—trapezoids, quadrilaterals, and irregular shapes.
Pretty good extension, nonetheless.

[AyProductions]

yes as i still study in grade 4 teachers did not teach them yet so i will try my best to implement it soon...

you can tell me the shapes you want by DM or replying me

[Gordon_Lu]

Extension not too bad ...

But, please make extensions that are unavailable with built in blocks in the future please. Think about it: if extensions are all available with built-in blocks, there is no need for an extension!

Think about something that cannot be done with built-in blocks. That's the purpose for extensions!

[AyProductions]

ok thanks for motivating me
