Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am totally new to app inventor so I’m trying to follow some guides online. I have a robot arm that I want to control using an app inventor with an HM-10 Bluetooth module. I have my arduino uno set up and the robot arm is working with arduino code, but I’m having trouble getting app inventor to recognize my HM-10 Bluetooth module. Any ideas why I can see the HM-10 on my phone Bluetooth page but not in app inventor?
Sorry for limited info I’m at work.
Hey /r/Android! I've been a huge fan of App Inventor ever since Google launched it a few years back. I got interested in writing apps because of this service. Plus, AI2 is even more user-friendly!
I've made a few apps for friends on AI, and I've even written one for business usage in a local dentist's office. After making a small app for a friend's birthday, I thought I would share what my friends know I do to the rest of /r/Android.
In total, I spent two hours from start to finish throwing this recent one together. The most time-consuming task was Photoshop work. To maximize your friends' joy, make a simple soundboard-type app. One or more button->sound blocks do the trick. Bonus points if the images change.
I used to try to make games for my friends by taking advantage of the image sprites available in AI, but people didn't play my games, and the work-fun ratio was completely out of whack. I ended up ditching the games and complex apps for my buds. The simplest app is the best app.
Here's the link to my most recent app for a friend. I'm actually publishing it on Play at the moment, so I'll update the link if anything breaks. This is the only app for a friend that we've both decided to publish.
All in all, AI is a powerful tool that definitely brings laughter from friends. Sorry for the long post!
Edit: here's the app on Google Play
http://appinventor.googlelabs.com Has anyone created an Android app with the App Inventor yet? I started learning how to use it last night. Share your apps or ideas! I need to get inspired.
So, I have some background on programming, I do learn the basics through HTML, minus OOP which still makes me 'What' every time I re-read that. I suck at making pseudo-code and always do the programming on the fly without plan whenever I do some coding. Now that's more or less my programming knowledge, plus, and minus. Let's move to my problem/questions.
I'm allowed to take programming courses until the end of the year. I accepted and choose to learn Android Java Programming. I found two different courses.
- The first one is 30 hours courses that use App Inventor and the roadmap is basically creat different apps every 2-3 hours class.
- The second one is 20+16 hours courses that use Android Studio with the roadmap is about learning parts of an app, widget, and concept of the programming an android app.
I'm interested in the second one and I have read many android developer job requirements mentioning the android studio several times, but I didn't know about App Inventor, so I still havent make a final choice. Which one would you all recommend to me?
