Google app inventor

Hi all
Ive just started to make apps using the app inventor and have done all of the tutorials but cant seem to work out how to set a background for the app, i have tried setting an image for the main screen but as soon as i put a button on it, it creates a white banner :/
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks, Mitch
P.s. Sorry if this is in the wrong section

how to build an app

ok devs or people who know how to build apps.
i would like to become a dev by building apps but iv searched google and xda and i cant find the right answers so i wandered if anybody knows how to build an app for our x8.
if you could give me maybe a step step tutorial on how to build them? sorry if im asking to much but im keen
cheers.

That kind of thread would be pointless cuz there are many types of app eg. Pulse with a clock widget have an entirely different code. Some apps do some things, other apps do other things. It's impossible to have a general or global tutorial of how to make an app.

Well I know for one that you build clock Widgets howdya do that?

I've learnt java from tutorials on YouTube and with the right means (Eclipse, SDK and some other stuff) I was able to do it.

Easy way out:
Google App Inventor
AppsGeyser
AndroMo
Conduit Mobile
wix.com ( creates mobile sites)
I know more, but can't think of them.
And I guess you probably want the coding tutorial but I don't know either so.....
Leave a thanks if I helped!

Does firmware 4.1.2 allow support for multi window? I read somewhere that it does, along with a new gallery. Is this true?

so i got my s3 mini from a friend studying in dubai
phone was brand new in the box
looked legit
had all the right hardware specs and software and all packaged as expected
however
started looking at a few things in details for example the imei
there are a few websites where you can query your imei and see what output it gets
mine showed some other brand and model of phone
leading me to believe my phone is one of those cheap replicas
and yet the look and feel and performance seems legit

forum problem
Greetings all!
I am having a slight problem with the forum. I can't seem to stay logged in all the time, even if the box is ticked. From time to time I must reenter my credentials, and that is a [first world problem] I know but is there something others has experienced or is it just me?
On the side note, this occurs in latest stable Chrome, latest dev build chrome, as well as latest stable FireFox.
I never click the link to log out, I just close the tab/window. And it appears to be quite random too, that I must reenter my credentials.
Thoughts? Solutions?

Basically I want to update the content of the app based on my website.
Its just like any of the news application where the news get updated every now and then.
Hope any of the advanced developer would come up with some kind of help.
Thanks

Any reply please

Rss is your key. Add a rss feeds to your website and make an rss reader for your app.

I know about RSS way...any other way?
I mean does all news app or other apps use RSS feed. Like if you take the example of this Tapatalk app of Xda developers. There are many other similar too.
Thanks

You could get the source code of the website. Every time there is something new, you could post a notification (maybe you could put a hint into it). That would mean that you needed to check it every day/hour.
Tutorial for the source code: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6503574/how-to-get-html-source-code-from-url-in-android

Is there any specific reason not to use RSS? It would be more more quicker than getting source code and reading it. If you have troubles writing xml parser, there are lots of plugins available and you could use one of them.

No specific reason for not using it bro. Just searching for an alternative.

Heres a list of apps that i have tested and do work on the z-watch...some with screen issues, but are totally functional.

Ive added a few apps to the ftp today...including the Omate watchfaces. Ive also added a good ftp client, dropbox, Audible (works), AOSP Browser,
small footprint apk mgr, airdroid, and a few others that are functional on the watch.

Hey all, I finally found a decent, tiny footprint wireless widget that functions really well. the app/widget is by Rounded Labs and is in xda_share/APK_add_12082013
I can't quite understand why smartQ put a Bluetooth toggle in the quick settings. That's something I never turn off...but the Wi-Fi, I want direct access to enable and then immediately disable. I am in the process of testing some wireless managers that take a more automatic approach to WiFi mgmt. Since the watch gets GPS data from the phone, all seem to work pretty well. However, noticed a lot of stuttering after install on most. Let me know if these auto-wireless mgrs interest you.

U may extract it from official firmware (update.zip) with any archiver.

Ok guys, gotta anothercool app to add to the list.
My BIGGEST issue with this watch was the lack of a BT disconnection notice. My sw2 has this feature , which is one of the reasons I use tree Sony more often.
This is about to change. The lady grew weeks I've been testing an app called Bluetooth Notify. This is solely an alert app for bt connections.
In testing, I found that my N5 had issues with this app and didn't function well. However, with my other 4.1- 4.3 based phones, the app is functional.
Try the free version first with a pair of headphones...to ensure functionality...just if case the .99¢ is hard to find due to the holidays.
