My First extension - Binary converter

[KUMARASWAMY_B.G]

Hi guys! today I have completed my extension called binary converter. This converter can convert int value to binary code. My friend @Hrichik has helped me compile the extension.

---

Accepts: int

---

This can be used in the following way: -

Note - You'll get an error if you enter a value other than int.

I hope you liked my extension!
Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Is it only decimal to binary or all bases to binary?

[KUMARASWAMY_B.G]

It doesn't convert decimal, ex

123 value = 1111100 (Binary)

If you ente like 123.1 then you get the same result.

[Alaqmar_Bohori]

No i meant does it convert all bases - 10, 8 and 16 to binary?
Because we have a base 10 to binary converter inbuilt

I don't understand you, I am just 12 year

Inbuilt component

[Taifun]

thank you, this looks like a good start into building extensions...

Please also follow the naming conventions, which is UpperCamelCase for property, method and event names (i.e. the first letter should be a capital letter) and lowerCamelCase for parameter names, no underscores .

Wow, I really like that extension,
Thank you for making that extension @KUMARASWAMY_B.G.
Good Work

[WatermelonIce]

Good start Xoma

[KUMARASWAMY_B.G]

Thanks, see what's coming next in next 7 mins!

[Italo]

Excellent start! Let me tell you, if at 12 years old you are doing this, you are up to big things in the future!
Keep going!
As a challenge, try to build an extension for something people need and App Inventor can't do with simple built in blocks.

[KUMARASWAMY_B.G]

Thanks, I will am trying to make an extension that can convert binary to string and back again.

[KUMARASWAMY_B.G]

I am trying to create converter extension which can convert binary to string and back again with other conversions like octal. Do you need this in the same extension or separate?

• Same
• Separate
• Don't care

@KUMARASWAMY_B.G

Do you need this in the same extension or separate?

Is this a question? Or you joking sorry but what if app inventor was made different website for designer and different for blocks? Sorry but it does not make any sense

I am trying to create conversions between STRING and BINARY by there is no block or that...

[Taifun]

@KUMARASWAMY_B.G

I am trying to create conversions between STRING and BINARY

taken from here http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/blocks/math.html#convertnumber

can you provide an example of that string, which you like to convert into binary?

AI2 lacks a string to byte list converter for use by people coding for data communication.
Likewise for the opposite direction: byte list to string.

[vknow360]

Interesting idea.
Unfortunately byte[] can't be returned from a method in app inventor but we have list as workaround.

[ABG]

By byte list, I am referring to the Bluetooth data streams typified in this Ble block from
http://iot.appinventor.mit.edu/#/bluetoothle/bluetoothleintro

• BytesReceived – The BytesReceived event is run when one or more byte values are received from a connected Bluetooth device. Depending on the sign parameter of the last call to ReadBytes or RegisterForBytes for the given serviceUuid and characteristicUuid , the byteValues list will contain numbers ranging from -128 to 127 ( signed = true ) or 0 to 255 ( signed = false ). Parameters :
  • serviceUuid ( text ) — The unique identifier of the service passed in the read or register call.
  • characteristicUuid ( text ) — The unique identifier of the characteristic in the read or register call.
  • byteValues ( list ) — A list of values read from the device. The range of each value will depend on the sign flag previously specified in the call to read or register.
