MIT App Inventor Help

Hi,

It is possible to have a token value for CloudDB, which can be used to share

data between multiple projects?

this for testing purposes...

Thanks

Token

This field contains the authentication token used to login to the backed Redis server. For the “DEFAULT” server, do not edit this value, the system will fill it in for you. A system administrator @jis may also provide a special value to you which can be used to share data between multiple projects from multiple people. If using your own Redis server, set a password in the server’s config and enter it here.

as described here .

You can pettition Jeff perhaps :wink:

Tokens are per user. If you set the "ProjectID" field in the designer to the same value in two different projects, they will share variables.

If you want another App Inventor developer to share variables with your apps, there are two approaches. You can take your token (found in the "Token" property) and give it to the other person; they need to prepend a % to the token to put it in their project.[1] Only give your token to someone you trust, for with it they can work with variables in all of your projects.

We, MIT, can also issue non-account specific tokens for those who want to create a shared project with someone else. We can do this but don't normally offer this as a service, as for now it is a manual process. I do have adding a website where people can create these for themselves, but it isn't written yet.

  1. Normally the token field is overwritten with your personal token when you open a project; the % overrides this behavior. ↩︎
