Rush • A new and improved way of building extensions

[shreyash]

You declare them in AndroidManifest.xml using the uses-permission tag.

[Salman_Dev]

Wow, you are the one who changed the world.
P.S: whether with the rush we must still have the mit app inventor source?
P.S2: can rush make it easier for us to create extensions that contain libs?

[shreyash]

@Salman_Dev

whether with the rush we must still have the mit app inventor source?

To use Rush, all you need is Java JDK 8 or above, and Rush itself. How to install Rush is explained in detail here.

@Salman_Dev

can rush make it easier for us to create extensions that contain libs?

To use external libraries, you need to add the desired ones to the deps folder, and create an entry for them in deps field in rush.yml. Can't say if it's easier], but it's a bit different than the traditional way.

Amazing! I totally surprised when I saw this topic. Really great thing that you made @shreyash

[Techno_Vedang]

@shreyash

Dependency management system like Gradle and Maven.

Still I am confused. Do we don't need to use jar files?

[shreyash]

That feature is not yet available. It is planned to be released in the future.

@shreyash

A lot more features are coming soon to Rush, some of which are:

• First class Kotlin language support.
• Ability to migrate existing extensions to Rush.
• Dependency management system like Gradle and Maven.

Installation

• Windows
• Mac and Linux (Coming soon...)

replace it with windows 64 bit it's not working for 32bit help

[HIFI_APPS]

make it work for win 32 bit

[shreyash]

You're right. It doesn't work with 32 bit Windows. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Kaustubh_Rakhade]

Yes, it's not working on Windows 32 bit. It would be really good if it works on it as well.

[Chudesa_Bojii]

May Rush make "Widget" on display ?

[shreyash]

AFAIK, creating widgets require adding some XML resources to the app. This is currently not possible with App Inventor, and hence, you can't develop extensions that create widgets using Rush.

[Chudesa_Bojii]

If edit Manifest and add Xml in Apk Editor, may will work ?)

[shreyash]

@Chudesa_Bojii

edit Manifest

Editing the Android manifest is supported with Rush, but it's not just that. You need to add layout resources as well, which currently isn't supported by AI2 as well as Rush.

[Chudesa_Bojii]

@shreyash

You need to add layout resources as well

If add from APK Editor: ?

APK Editor (Android)

[shreyash]

I haven't tried it, but I guess it'd be possible.

[Nisarga_Adhikary]

Hey, @shreyash Nice work.

Can you share demo template file which to create a extension with Rush?

[shreyash]

@Nisarga_Adhikary

Can you share demo template file which to create a extension with Rush?

When you create an extension using rush create command, every required file, including a starter Java file for the extension, is automatically created for you. This is already discussed in the first post and in the wiki. You might want to read it thoroughly first.
