MIT App Inventor 2 is the fast and easy way to create Android apps for smart phones and tablets.<\/p>\n

App Inventor provides a “what you see is what you get” drag and drop user interface designer, coupled with a unique graphical programming system that arranges program building “blocks” to define actions and behaviors. This makes for a simplified Android smart phone app development system that is quick to learn and quick to put to use developing your own apps.<\/p>\n

You do not need to be programmer to use App Inventor (although any prior programming experience is valuable).<\/p>\n

Using App Inventor, you can create many kinds of apps including personal productivity, business, games, multimedia, photography and others.<\/p>\n

The user interface is drawn in the “Designer” and the program is created using the “Blocks” editor. A sample program in “Blocks” is shown here:<\/p>\n

\"Capture\"<\/a>These program components are dragged out of a palette of program “blocks” to define what the program does.<\/p>\n

App Inventor does have some limitations – you cannot create all types of apps that are possible using the more complex Java programming language, Eclipse Integrated Development Environment and the Android SDK. But, you can create a wide variety of applications using App Inventor.<\/p>\n

App Inventor has some limits on program size – you will notice especially that as your programs become large, the performance of the program “Designer” editor will slow down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
