just got my confirmation from google, app inventor is up and running! i think it would be a good idea to maybe get a thread goin for everything app inventor/a help page for using it. just a thought
Dear Google,
GIVE ME MY CONFIRMATION EMAIL!!!
I'll give you a cookie.
-Blueman
I go one, I tried it, turns out I still fail :')
I got mine a couple of weeks ago. It will definitely take some learning on my part. Fun though. It would be nice to have a thread for tips and tricks. I wrote a little about it on my blog, link below in my signature.
I signed up for it a couple weeks ago. Do I have to be a registered developer in order to receive the invitation?
Got my invite too.
I didn't get my invite but I am able to get in and create projects.

Wrong... but nice try.
I simply was logged into my Google account and went to the app inventor page there was a my projects link on the top. I clicked it, I was able to access app inventor. As a word of caution make sure you have the app inventor extras installed prior to trying to use the blocks, it can / will be kind of screwy if you don't.
Now we'll need a new section on XDA..

lolz. has anyone actually successfully made an app using this?
Made the tutorial hellopurr app in about 5 minutes...the install was about 4mb though
I'm able to log in with out an invite too. Cool!
I've made some little things with it.
I need it to be able to parse RSS, or at least XML, before I'm able to implement any of my actual wanted-app ideas with it, though.

I don't know, I think it does have SOME potential. Believe it or not, there are people like me out there with VERY limited java experience that have some neat app ideas. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with the inventor.
I do agree that everybody and their mother will probably be making the stupid "click the cat to hear a purr" app knockoff .
There should be a marketplace filter for app inventor apps so you know what you're signing up for haha

No offense, but why do you want so much private info, such as my full name, my birthday, etc? Make that stuff 100% optional.

Hey I completely understand
Birthday is for my host to confirm you are old enough to use the site
Full Name- Doesn't really matter if you use your full name you could use a username.
It's not asking for so much private info such as your address or social security number

Just one small point - while registering, we are required to answer the question "Which company does Android belong to".. I entered "it's open source software", and I was told it's the wrong software. I was able to proceed when I entered "google".
I think you should allow the answers "open source" or at least "open handset alliance" rather than just "google". Just a nitpick, though

But... Google is the company that literally owns Android. They started the concept, and now are at Android 2.2 Froyo. The answer 'Google' is perfect. Open handset is just a group that companies have joined in creating the best user experience for smartphones, and that do that with the Android platform.

Agreed that Google is a major and the most visible player in the Android arena. However, technically, since Android is an open source project, other companies can (and do?) submit code. Also, if someone refers to Wikipedia entry for Android, the company is listed as OHA. I'd suggest that the answer OHA be allowed, in addition to Google. Anyway, don't mean to hijack the thread -- it's a small issue!
kobecamp2009, if all you're trying to do is avoid automated signups, why not ask questions like other sites do -- "what is 2+2" and so on

Okay so I have thought about this for a long time.
I want to develop a Market, but I don't know were to start... So I need help with this. Maybe we can make a development team of this?
What I can do:
- Supply with Servers (MySQL, FTP etc)
- code in eclipse (I'm not a hardcore coder)
- design the app
I guess you can have a listview to begin with that takes data from a JSON from a MySQL database. Well I'm not really sure.
So if any is interested, post here on this thread or send a PM to me
I know it's a lot of work... Please don't remind me about that, lol.

that doesnt appear to have anything to do with this topic. they are discussing how to compile and package native c binaries for android. the only thing that comes close is the discussion of opkg
If u need any apk's to stock it let me know. I have somewhere in the ballpark of about 1400. I would need to go through them all 2 remove all the paid apps 1st though.

Okay I'll do that. For the moment the market has to be developed.
lol. yea i figured that part but i just wanted to throw it out there since i seen your post.
excited to see what comes of it.
You could probably just take a look at the AOSP source code, specifically the market code, and get started from there.
I see there are already several threads made on different dates on this, but a friend of mine had experienced problems and I researched it and found that it was this http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20049004-245.html. Just thought I'd let you guys know, be careful. =D
As long you dont download pirated apps i think you will be fine.
More Disturbing Article to Read Posted Recently
Here's my advice:
1. - NEVER install an app outside the Android Market unless you know exactly what the app does, and only if it comes from a legit website.
2. - Take the time to learn the Basics of Android Permissions and what they do.
3. - If you are unsure why an app needs a permission, email the dev. If the guy's legit, he will email you back or make an update in the market description.
4. - If all else fails, read the comments posted about the app. If something seems strange to you, chances are that somebody else is thinking the same thing...

Alot of the devs who make these apps are pirates themselves!! Considering they steal other peoples artwork and claim it as their own.
What I'm referring to in particular are the many different multiples of the same damn live wallpapers all put out by at least 5 or 6 different devs!! Yeah I'm sure they all own the rights to those images! Sure! I don't even think these people properly thank the original artist let alone give them a cut!!
Also how about all these damn apps that install different boot animations on your phone. Do you really think they ask the creators if its ok if they use their boot animations?? Hell no!!
What about the fact that half these damn apps show up on the market for say 4.99 last for around a month then mysteriously disappear!! Gee, talk about thievery!!

That's not true: if the app is worth it will be reviewed by some important site such as xda portal (for free) and will start getting a good amount of downloads. Of course you need to keep on promoting on the forums etc.
By the way, what's your application?

Google Play has some free channel to help developers promote their apps, but that requires some downloads in some days or something like that.
So, you can try make cooperation with someone, and recommand your app via partner channel.
then you may have the chance of listing in Top New Free to Google Play. :laugh:

Getting some websites to review your app sure can be challenging. Those websites get hundreds of emails a day and it is hard to scan through all of them, but some of them might pick you up on the offer.
I personally posted on Reddit and it didn't get much attention...I might need to try it again, but maybe people didn't like the app...

Sorry, what do you mean with "some downloads"? 10k? 100k? Thank you..
I believe that the best always rises to the top.You do not even need to market your app.It only takes a man to download your app and get the ball rolling.If your blog is interesting and useful,you don’t need to do much else.Example of this is the popularity of Instagram.

This only works for some very special cases; for the others, a bit of "push" is necessary.
To my mind, the quality of the app does evrything by itself.
We had the same problem after we have launched (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/good-weather/id601784766).
We found out that the best way is to approach our users who were engaged with the app.
We thought of a compelling way to ask them to rate us at the store /share the app with a friend/ tweet etc and it worked beyond our expectations...
Bottom line - when you ask someone who likes you nicely at the right time you are much more likely get respond.
We have since decided to develop it to a product which other developers can use - www.kudos-kit.com
Right now Reddit is a good way to promote your app, but best way is here in XDA.
Also, post it on forums allways can help a lot, since most of review sites are not free....
