I sent a private message and also tried via chat, but I still couldn't speak to "Cavaleiro_Negro".

I think "Black_Knight" is the extension author, not the one you said.
Oh wait you traslated the author's name, you obviously won't be able to send a message to them! Send it to "Black_Knight" (and do not translate the name please)...

Sorry for this error, the author of the extension is "Black_Knight". Thanks!

New update for the Extension to meet the latest updates of the Gemini API .

Here's a summary of the updates made to the Gemini.aix compared to the initial version.

1. Model Selection:

  • The GenerateGeminiContent, StreamGenerateGeminiContent, and functions now all accept a modelName parameter, allowing the user to specify which Gemini model to use for the request. This provides flexibility in choosing the appropriate model for different tasks.

2. StreamGenerateGeminiFileContentFromBase64 Function:

  • New Function: A new function called StreamGenerateGeminiFileContentFromBase64 has been added.



  • Base64 File Input: This function accepts a list of Base64 encoded files (fileBase64List) and a corresponding list of MIME types (mimeTypeList).

  • Generic File Handling: It handles various file types (not just images) by using the MIME type information.

  • Streaming Response: It uses streaming to receive the response from the Gemini API and triggers the GotGeminiStream event for each chunk of text received.

3. GetGeminiModelNames Function:

  • New Function: A new function called GetGeminiModelNames has been added.




  • Retrieving Model Names: It retrieves a list of available Gemini model names from the API and triggers the GotGeminiModelNames event with the list.

4. GetFilePathFromDataURI Function:

  • New Function: A new function called GetFilePathFromDataURI has been added.

  • Data URI to File Path: It converts a Data URI (representing a file) to a local file path. It handles content://, file://, and data:// URI schemes.

5. getMimeType Function:

  • New Function: A new function called getMimeType has been added.

  • Get MIME Type: It takes a file path as input and returns the MIME type of the file using Files.probeContentType(path).

6. Code Cleanup and Improvements:

  • Removed Redundant Parameter: The contents parameter in the StreamGenerateGeminiVisionContentFromPathsAndText function was removed as it became unnecessary after adding separate parameters for images and text.

  • Error Handling: The code now includes more robust error handling, using try-catch blocks and triggering the ErrorOccurred event when necessary.

Overall, the updated code is more versatile, efficient, and user-friendly:

  • More Features: It provides functions to retrieve model names, handle various file types, and work with Data URIs.

  • Flexibility: Users can now choose specific Gemini models and send different file types to the API.

  • Efficiency: Streaming responses allow for better handling of large data.

  • Improved Usability: The code is more organized and includes better documentation and error handling.

These updates enhance the functionality and make the extension more useful for a wider range of applications within App Inventor.
