webfact Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Google tool lets 'anyone' make Android apps Google has unveiled a tool designed to allow anyone to create simple applications for smartphones running its Android operating system. App Inventor for Android "makes it easy for anyone - programmers and non-programmers, professionals and students - to create mobile applications for Android-powered devices," Google said in a blog post "To use App Inventor, you do not need to be a developer," Google said. "App Inventor requires NO programming knowledge." Instead of writing code, App Inventor allows a user to visually design an application using Lego-like "blocks" of code. Certain blocks are programmed, for example, to store information, others to repeat an action and others to perform an action only under certain conditions.

Tywais Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks for that info. Was planning on downloading the Android SDK (probably will anyway) but will see how this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazey Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 You'll need the SDK to push your created .apk's to the device. I'm quite looking forwards to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changian Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Invites have been sent for the Beta version of AppInventor. Got mine today. But no time to play around with it for a few days. Which TV member will have the first AppInventor app out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
