MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT USING APP INVENTOR

By

We all know that mobile is the future and that comes with mobile apps. This post will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to create your very own app. I will show you exactly what a viable app idea entails and get you started on developing your app using the App Inventor.


There are three stages of Mobile App Development : 


  • Design: How your app should look
  • Develop: Using App Inventor
  • Distribute: Publishing it on the Google Play Store

Mobile App Development process :

  1. Identify the problem 
  2. Design a solution 
  3. Write an application 
  4. Check the solution 


Now, without any delay, we will get into the process of mobile app development with App Inventor:


MIT App Inventor is a web application integrated development environment originally provided by Google and maintained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It allows newcomers to computer programming to create application software (apps) for two operating systems (OS): Android, and iOS.


Steps to work on the App inventor:


  1. Use Firefox or Chrome to search the web address 'http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/' and enter into the MIT App Inventor.
  2. This won't be working properly with Internet Explorer. Also convenient to use it on a laptop or desktop.
  3. The web page will look as follows:
  4. Click the 'start new project' button on the top left and enter the name of the app you are planning to develop.
  5. Your screen will look like this :
  6. This is how your screen will appear on your phone. 
  7. We can add more screens in the component column and change the appearance of the mobile screen by altering the properties.
  8. On clicking the user interface button, we get many options on what to include on the screen, like buttons, checkboxes, labels, etc.
  9. There is a button called 'Blocks' in the top right corner that will take us to the block coding page where we can code our app.

    10. Finally, when the app is ready to be published, we can upload it to the Play Store. In Mobile App Development, you must have a clear path to success when your app is ready to be distributed worldwide. We’ll take you through the steps to release your App on the Play Store giving you access to a world of users who will make you successful.


    Steps to publish in Google Play Store :

    1. Navigate to 'Google Play Console'.
    2. Click "Publish an Android app on Google Play".
    3. Fill up the name of the app, description, icon, screenshots, etc, on the store listing page.
    4. Go to app releases and manage the production window.
    5. Then go back to the store listing and enter your app URL.
    6. Fill up all the required details and save the draft.
    7. Navigate to the content rating page, continue completing the questionnaire and submit.
    8. Then proceed to the pricing and distribution page, fill up and save the draft.
    9. Navigate to app content, click start to enter the details, and submit.
    10. Finally, go to the app releases page, and click review.
    11. Review the details and click the "START ROLLOUT PRODUCTION" button to confirm your upload.

    Your app will now be successfully uploaded to the Play Store. This is how we can create an app and upload it to the Play Store. Hope you will understand your target audience and create a successful design for your app.


    Thanks for reading!

PLASMONICS - A Vision of future

By
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) - related science and technology have recently spawned a brand new branch of research referred to as "Plasmonics" Plasmonics, also known as nanoplasmonics, is the creation, detection, and manipulation of signals at optical frequencies at nanoscale scale metal-dielectric interactions. Following the trend of miniaturizing optical devices, plasmonics finds applications in sensing, imaging, optical communications, and bio-photonics. Surface Plasmon Resonance in Bioanalysis For almost a decade, plasmonic imaging has been used to analyze single-cell activity. Although this approach is still in its early stages, its label-free and real-time benefits have piqued curiosity, and it has already been applied to extracellular and intracellular activities. However, as a freshly developed approach, plasmonic imaging has significant flaws that must be addressed before it can be widely used. First, plasmonic imaging’s imaging capacity needs to be improved. The ...

Wget Command

By
  What is Wget?                     Wget is a simple Linux/Unix command-line utility for downloading the contents, and files from the web. Wget will download the resource from the URL which is specified in the command. With the help of wget, we can download files using HTTP, and HTTPS. We can also download multiple files, resume downloads, recursive downloads, downloads in the background, and different options in the wget command. In this article, let’s see how to install and, use this command with examples. Installing Wget The wget is pre-installed on most of the Linux distros. To verify whether the package is installed, open your terminal type wget  and press enter. You will get a result of   wget: missing URL . If the wget package is not installed it will print wget command not found. Installation on Ubuntu and Debian                sudo apt install ...

 ELASTICSEARCH                                          In this blog we are going to learn how to use elasticsearch and kibana using python. Before getting into this, make sure that you have elasticsearch and kibana installed. To know the detailed procedure about the installation of elasticsearch and kibana, click the link below to learn the installation process from scratch. https://crescenttechnocratsclub.blogspot.com/2022/09/blog-post.html For python, let’s use VS Code . Visual Studio (VS) Code is a streamlined code editor with support for development operations like debugging, task running, and version control. Python IDLE is also fine to use but we will work with vs code in this blog. Install VS code using the following link : https://code.visualstudio.com/download Click op...
