Have an idea for an Extension?

@Ken

If you have an idea for a simple extension please share it here.

See here:

Zip/Unzip File with password

Hello, I’m trying to zip one file with the great zip/unzip extension from Taifun. But I think this extension can only zip a directory, not a simple file - is this true? Is there another possibility? Thanks

File upload extension to cloudstorage like dropbox , google drive , but it works for any extension not limited to images.

It would be nice to have an extension supporting serial connection to any device, not just an arduino. For example, I would like to connect the phone to a computer using a cable and USB-UART converter CP2102 or other device that is not arduino. It looks nice in the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kai_morich.serial_usb_terminal. After installing this app, all usb-uart converters are automatically detected in android.

1. An extension to manage data on Google Sheets so as to bye-pass the requirement of doing google app scripts and calliing functions.

2. Web Scrapping.

3. APRS

4. Mobile GIS with Raster map support

Built In Google Sheets Component for App Inventor

The Cell reference converter blocks works fine for the column name conversion: APizzaSheet.aia (3.7 KB) [GetCellReference Works okay]

APRS

APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System)

What do you expect this extension to do Anup. Would it be something like APRSdroid. How should it connect to the APRS network

• APRS-IS via Internet (WiFi or mobile data connection) See this or aprs.fi – live APRS map . Coding something for this should be possible using the WebViewer and Web components.
• AFSK (audio connection between your radio and the smartphone)
• Bluetooth-serial connection to a TNC

This shows how to parse APRS packet frames

Steve

APRS uses a native format called AX-25 which is a compressed format sent on mic-e settings. India, as compared to the western world, still does not have the desired quantum of digipeters, so perforce, use of i-gates is the only way out to get range. Looking at a way to have an android app to use the inbuilt GPS to get the Geo Coords and send them as a modulated signal over radio or AX-25 over GPRS.

Looking at BASICS : CREATE RECORD, DELETE RECORD, UPDATE RECORD, READ RECORD, presently being done by Google App Scripts and then calling functions in MIT App inventor. If the same can be done by BLOCKS.

What about an extension that could make the device produce a sound wave with input to control the frequency?

Im thinking to be applied in tuning for instruments

I believe this is already done by @Juan_Antonio :

It would be convenient if there was an extension for "Convert Android SDK to Extension"

You could create an extension that updates when the Creator of the application clicks save then the new update reaches those who have the application (the user will be able to choose how much the update will reach eg in 2 days and 23 minutes and 5 seconds, of course the application should get the latest update)

If you want to make this extension please tell me .

Hi,
What about an extension to lock or put the phone to sleep, as if the user pressed the phone power button to lock / sleep?

[vknow360]

Android will not allow you to do this forever.
It is possible though but you need admin privileges.

Have you tried this

Update My App - Extension - Useful to app builders to update their distributed apps

UpdateMyApp - Extension created on 2020-07-11T18:30:00Z (UTC) I am an enthusiastic app builder, built many apps and distributed to my friends to test them. But It becomes so messy, once i made improvements to those apps in the later stages. I used to send the new versions to my friends and ask them to install the new version to replace the older one. Many app builders are facing the same problem like mine. So, i thought that the procedure would be simple and better, if the app is updated …

Yes, and it is complicated
