I'm new to app inventor and as part of my learning about app inventor, I've decided to make a family project to be able to send encrypted and decrypted text message to the family for a bit of fun.
The issue is, I managed to get it working, sending encrypted text using the MareshaAES extension, but trying to read incoming texts, picking the name from the contact phone list and is a different matter and seems to be above my pay grade.
Does anyone have any suggestions or tutorials on this so I can see how to do it? I'm a newbie, so it will need to be very basic, sorry.
I think this beginner project is a bit too complicated for me at this time. I think I need to do some more basic apps until I understand how the logic works. This is the confusing part for me, understanding what works with what.
I've been looking for a good App Inventor tutorial, but have not found one as of yet.
Thanks for the tip but I wouldn't know where to start as it would need to be able to list only the encrypted text messages and allocate them to either a phone contact name or a number if they are not in the contact list. Then you click on the one you want to see and that's when it will give you the option to decrypt it.
I'm not very good at the logic and working out what blocks go where. Now I did manage to get it to send the encrypted message, but receiving it seems to be a bit of a black art.lol!
A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here Course In A Box and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: App Inventor 2 Book: Create Your Own Android Apps
How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here: How do you...? .
