[Q] Google App Inventor Beta - Android Apps and Games

Hi,
I wasn't quite sure where to put this question, hopefully i found the right place.
I wanted to try this because it looked a bit visual studioish, I signed up for the beta ages ago but I got no reply. I was wondering for those who got access what information they put in, should I lie a bit and say i'm an educator?
thanks

I just got my invite after over a month waiting.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App

I've had it a few weeks and haven't had time to tear into it. I also emailed someone at google and begged but i haven't used it and feel like a complete ass.

its been ages since i applied, i guess thats a no.
did you say you're an educator?

This is indeed very nice. I wonder though if the apps made through this can have the same amount of detail/power as the ones built from Java/C?
Has anyone an email for the invite?

The article mentioned GPS, Calls, and texts. So at least that much.
I applied but doubt ill get it. Wonder if itll be possible for someone to get it and then release the app on torrents?
Please post/torrent when this is available.
No one has gotten email and we need this app.
I don't really think that they will limit the liscens for it, maybe slowly release them like google voice. will post when i get the email back though.
They'll probally do the licenses like they did Wave. So it could be a damn fiasco again. Even tho I got a Wave invite early its still dumb

It's a web-based application.
I signed up too. Sounds like the wait could be a couple weeks before the first "invites" go out.

Yeah, Monday would be TODAY. They launched it and announced it, but you just can't use it yet. This sucks.
Ohhhh boy, another program to take up all my time tinkering... will I ever get anything done in life besides messing with my phone? No.
i wonder how good it will be i've been very interested in seeing a android version of mymobier if a my mobiler app could be made from this
i definitely got a geek boner for this one. Super stoked as I have just started dipping my feet into development. This allows me to spend less time coding it and more time making it kick ass lol.

Hey guys has anyone managed to get hold of this yet?
I think it may be an amazing idea. I'd be interested to know if you can make widgets with it too.
What are your views ?

Can't wait for this as well. No email yet!

Still waiting on some kind of response as well... I remember when signing up for Voice, it took a month or two to hear back and get the invitation. I'd be interested to know if anyone has actually gotten their hands on the App Inventor yet.
im waiting still too....its nerve racking : D
Same here , lets hope for a mail soon
I'm waiting for the mail too.

Still waiting on my invite. I have a whole bunch of ideas for new soundboards too
No sign of my invite yet either, really looking forward to this.
Just so you guys know, this isn't an app you can pass around. Once you get the invite, its done through HTML5. Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you dont get an invite, there will be no way to use it

Yeah we have seen that which is Google all over (the more in the cloud the better) but I have sent for my invite and according to sources they dish them out once a week. So fingers crossed...

I agree but I also think that although there will be a lot of crap there will be some really good stuff. Just that little spark of genius.
And personally I would like to build apps to help me out. Almost like macros.

why soundboards exist? man I think they are useless....

I think because they are easy to code.
Fortunately I have read the Google faq and the question of apps flooding the market is asked.
This is the answer:
Currently there are technical limitations to being able to upload an App Inventor app to the Andorid Market but we are actively evaluating the best way to integrate with the Market.

Download the source from Google App inventor and find the code that gets detected and change it around a bit.
Thats how most things get past detection.
HOWEVER, I will not do this of course, I am going to use App inventor for personal apps or publish it out of the market.
I have a strange thing how I learn programming, I tend to learn more from examples of code and I have learned LUA(For Gmod) and PAWN(for AMXX) but those are scripting languages.
Some App inventor apps might be worth to be on the market.
There is already lots of messy apps out there but the rating system takes care of that.
I got my invite Monday but haven't got around to trying it out yet, but i don't think you'll be able to make complex apps with this i might take a look at it next week if i get a chance i'll let ya'll know if its really game changing or not .

Google Gives Access to online AppInventor

Googles finally started sending out access to people who signed up for AppInventor when they announced it,

I just got my access today! Has anyone else had a chance to try this out?
It's pretty slick for someone who does not know how to code. Sort of like what Labview does for engineers and the like.
I got access today while at work and started messing with it. I couldn't export anything because I was on a locked down terminal at work.
I got my invite today as well and finished the Hellopurr tutorial. I'm liking it so far.

Beejive Out

Beta is out, if its ok I will post.
Got my invite as well. So far looking good. Nice GUI plus response. I find it WAY faster than Trillian Beta, although some Skype and Video exchange might be good for next release
The end of the email reads:
"Also, please understand that the build is only for folks who have registered with us for the beta program and is not intended to be shared with any one. "
So now I ask you. Do you think its ok to post it?

A lot of people know what Beejive is. If you don't know what it does, why don't you google it?

That's cute, but why should someone have to Google something that someone's advertising. Obviously if you announce that something out its to garner interest, no? With that being the case, ways the harm in typing even a one sentence description? Seems pretty common sense.
And I just realized that the last two responses before that post could've been a simple description as well, but acting like someone doesn't know what Google is in an Android forum seems to take priority over posting something useful.
Anyways for anyone who doesn't know, it's a messenging client for multiple services. I love things like trillian on my pc so ill be waiting for this one
I'm on it now, it rules. I just pray that it doesn't become a permanent beta like the wm version

Neat. Mobilism may or may not have the newest version of this apk posted 8 minutes ago
Trying it out now...

I'm using it now. This destroys Trillian. Does anyone know if it uses Froyo's built-in push notifications API, C2DM ? I'm concerned about battery life.
Androidica has an active link to the download for what its worth.
In case it's not supposed to be distributed, check out this link because it has a cool video of it and not for the download link...

this is a pretty popular app, thats why I didnt bother getting into detail, and Trillian has been out for beta use for the public, not a fan , and im sure you will say that when you use it.

I don't see why it should matter if a link is posted in this particular case - in order to use Swype, you had to sign up for the beta months ago. It's my understanding (I have been wrong once or twice. ) that the ESN of the phone is linked to the email address used when you signed up.
I use it and have re-installed every time it's been updated. Every time, I have to provide my email address & password during the install process.

Correct, at least about having to sign in (idk what exactly swype uses to verify your beta eligibility) regardless though, you need to have a beta account in order to use it.
So even if I did PM you guys the swype.apk it wouldn't work without my account sign-in info.. Not gonna happen
If you want a "3rd party" one that's not official. Look else where or something because it'll never get posted here.
As for the topic at hand, The only way you'd get themes for it on XDA is from a MetaMorph. Haven't seen any threads on that tho. Try searching all the forums

I had "lost" my invitation email and needed to reinstall Swype at one point, so I searched around in their forums. I read a lot of references to the ESN being linked, so that's where I got my information.
Side note about the ESN: Apparently, the beta allows you to "upgrade" your phone once (change ESNs). Then if you do it again, you have to contact them directly to allow a third phone to use the beta. I found it interesting.
Even after impaler's warning, there were 3 requests for the apk, all of which have been deleted. In order to save you guys from yourselves (since requesting warez is against the rules), I will close this thread.
