Know_About_IT · April 8, 2021, 12:08pm

Guys, while development of appinventor, I wanted to remove something, Please do help. How can I remove the privacy policy. Which file I need to edit ?

Any help is welcomed.

is it on YOUR app? or App Inventor builder? If it's App Inventor Builder, I don't think you can. if it's your app, and you didn't put it there you could easily put a blank label over it. Otherwise I can't help anymore

It's my Appinventor

I am sure this is possible @AppBuilder6571

Hello @Know_About_IT,
The status panel is created in the Ode class, by creating a new StatusBar and attaching it to the mainPanel, I think it would be enough to comment out this line, to prevent the status bar from being added.

@MohamedTamer Sir can you please explain more like which file I need to modify or position of this in java files ?

It's this line:

github.com

mit-cml/appinventor-sources/blob/6d2bed05ffd138c4e2919db5f6fe545f03170f56/appinventor/appengine/src/com/google/appinventor/client/Ode.java#L1093


    overDeckPanel.setCellHeight(tutorialPanel, "100%");
    overDeckPanel.add(deckPanel);
    mainPanel.add(overDeckPanel, DockPanel.CENTER);
    mainPanel.setCellHeight(overDeckPanel, "100%");
    mainPanel.setCellWidth(overDeckPanel, "100%");


//    mainPanel.add(switchToDesignerButton, DockPanel.WEST);
//    mainPanel.add(switchToBlocksButton, DockPanel.EAST);


    //Commenting out for now to gain more space for the blocks editor
    mainPanel.add(statusPanel, DockPanel.SOUTH);
    mainPanel.setSize("100%", "100%");
    RootPanel.get().add(mainPanel);


    // Add a handler to the RootPanel to keep track of Google Chrome Pinch Zooming and
    // handle relevant bugs. Chrome maps a Pinch Zoom to a MouseWheelEvent with the
    // control key pressed.
    RootPanel.get().addDomHandler(new MouseWheelHandler() {
      @Override
      public void onMouseWheel(MouseWheelEvent event) {
        if(event.isControlKeyDown()) {

Clicking the ("this") link in the above post should redirect you to the right line in the Appinventor GitHub repository as well.

Is there a way I can customize or change its text ?

Yes, take a look at the StatusBar class:
