Flowcode for Android

Post by RGV250 »

Hi,
I thought I read a post ages ago suggesting this is being looked at, I just wondered what the thoughts are.
I have found App Inventor which is quite good but very basic, Xojo which is stupidly expensive and then Android studio which is an absolute mess where it is dependant on so many other programs. It is also very cryptic and for me it is a wonder anyone bothers using it.

Regards,
Bob

Hi Bob,

Have you consider using a webpage type of application using Javascript. We have a feature in Flowcode 10 and 11 to create Javascript pages that can be used as control apps. It would be interesting to see what you're trying to do and then we can see if web developer will do everything you need or if we need to add more functionality into it.

The javascript page can then live online as a cloud app or offline e.g. as a file on your network, computer or phone.

Some info and examples are on our wiki regarding web developer starting here.

Having used both App Inventor and Android Studio I do feel your pain :D
