Google app inventor

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 ?

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.

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 .

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?

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

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.

[Q] No MSN/Live Messenger on WM7?

I've searched this and many results did come up, but they were pretty old posts. As of today is there any official WM7 MSN/Live Messenger yet? Or can anyone recommend me a decent one? Please don't recommend me IM+ or Miyowa as they are both pretty bad for my taste or they don't work as intended (either laggy or a bad layout, or not easy to use)
Many thanks!

There is no official app because it is built directly into the OS with the Mango update.

You obviously didn't search hard enough.

Is that an official update that can be downloaded through Zune? I have the latest updates on my HTC 7 Pro through Zune when it asked to update my phone about 5 times.

Obviously not, But I thought rather bump old posts I make a new one that's more up to date with whether MSN exists for WM7 yet as of this day. To be quite frank I think this is a better idea, in my opinion.

Nice thanks for that useful reply Pressed thanks on your post.

Did you really think that Microsoft will not spam and force its live messenger on is? I won't be surprised if they reserve one whole live tile in front for its hotmail and messenger on front screen which you can't remove .. Just like its useless bing search button which is nothing more than a shortcut to bing search webpage after the upcoming mango update. A whole one big ass dedicated key just a short cut to a webpage.

That's wrong, but your ignorant opinion is valued, it also isn't forced on you, & no, there isn't a big permanent tile

You do realize that live messenger is the largest chat service in the world right? Also its paired with facebook chat which is the third. So no, Microsoft isnt forcing anything on you, they're just using whats already the most popular.

No, they are not. Open IE, go to www.google.com, search for what you want with google. There's even registry hacks to change the default IE search to Google. BTW, WP7 is a MS product so it will have MS products integrated just like Android has Googles stuff & iPhone has Apple's stuff. End of story, just like I told FiyaFleye in your thread to be civil, so should you. This thread has nothing to do with search anyway so you are off topic & violating XDA ToS. Stay on topic & be civil.

Microsoft have released the official Messenger app for Android.

It's been a long time coming in my eyes, but it would appear Microsoft have finally released the official app for Messenger on Android.
It showed up as a pop-up for me when I signed into Messenger, but for any of you that want the link here it is.
Also, the link on the live.com website: http://explore.live.com/messenger-m...ea=TEXT_CIMS017584_Messenger_EN-GB_1X1_129124
A few things I've observed are that it doesn't show up in the notification bar when signed in, unless you receive a message and it doesn't let you sign in in more than one place. Not huge problems but annoying nonetheless.
I hope you guys enjoy it.
EDIT: Also just noticed that on the market it's released by "WithYou INC" which is odd, but that's the link I was given in the popup.

People still use MSN?

It does seem like it's non-ms, but it's advertised on the live.com website, as shown here: http://explore.live.com/messenger-m...ea=TEXT_CIMS017584_Messenger_EN-GB_1X1_129124

It's not so reassuring without Microsoft in the app title or description as opposed to WithYou inc.
But like ADeadlySpoon said above - there are a couple of links via the explore.live.com site.

[Q] Viber with BM MIUI

Having launch problem at the moment, any help?

Hi,
This is a member of Viber's development team.
Can you please elaborate more on your issue?
What device you have?
Viber only partially supports MIUI but we might be able to help anyway.
Thanks,

When Viber will be supported in ICS ?

I'm currently running on an ICS MIUI.
I did launch the application and nothing is shown, but I believe the background service is still running as I could get viber contact list.

it is viber supposed to work on ICS?? or not yet?

Ahh... you're running MIUI on ICS.
We are aware of the problems with Viber on ICS, and working this very moment to fix it.
As you know, many fundamental changes were made on ICS (not only visual improvements). In order to adapt Viber to ICS the best way and make sure we don't release a half-baked app, we need some time for developing and testing.
We estimate that the release would take up to several weeks, but we wouldn't want to guarantee a specific release date at this stage.
Once we have any news we'll keep you posted - we apologize for the temporary inconvenience.

this makes me feel like reading a newspaper lol

How so?

Are you a politician ?

We're a company.
As much as we would have loved to develop everything as soon as possible and throw promises in the air, we also have to be realistic and a little restricted with guaranteeing things to our users, because we don't want them to be disappointed, nor do we want to not live up to our promises and estimates
It has nothing to do with being a politician... just credibility of a business

Ok.. So here's my question. I emailed your team and submitted a trouble ticket, as subsequently advised after my initial email, regarding the incompatibility with ICS. That was over six weeks ago. In fact the sdk for Android 4.0 has been out even longer than that! So what's the delay? Is there only one coder working on this? Why have Tango, Skype, Fring, et al, been able to release compatible apps before the Galaxy Nexus was even released.. Yet Viber can't..?
I'm asking a serious question, primarily because of how frustrating it is. I'm now stuck using an inferior product (Tango) as a stop-gap, and all I want is Viber to work with ICS already!

First, I want to agree with this guy, but then again viber does treat their product with care and quality work so that's why they are that much better. I'm holding off on Ics just because of viber so I understand your frustration. I don't want to use tango cuz it's not great.
2 things.
1) try using fring. It's much better than tango. Tango isn't good quality.
2) thank you for making a great app viber. We are anxious because we are waiting on you. I can only ask that you guys hurry haha.

I wouldn't want to make any comparisons to other products. I can tell you about ourselves that traditionally, we've always preferred delaying releases until we're much more calm about its functionality and quality, rather than releasing it simply as soon as possible, so we are in line with all the other communication applications who released it since day 1.
This time we might have been a little under-prepared, that's true, but still it is important to note that Andriod 4.x user percentage among all Android users is still very, very low. If we were to follow the "usual" criteria for devoting resources within a company, you would see how that couldn't be our first priority.
However, we are working on it as hard as we can (with more than one coder! haha) and we should have good news soon. I'll keep you posted

It has been almost a month, care to give us some details on the progress?
Is viber going to be available to users of Android 4.x anytime soon?

it looks like they are still coding for the new system

@Casilan,
We have made some serious progress in the past couple of weeks, and the end is certainly in sight.
We still don't have an exact release dates, but we estimate it will take up to several weeks for it to be fully ready and released to Market.
Note that our development team is working around the clock to complete it ASAP. We apologize for the delay, but it's important to understand that it's delayed because we want to ensure that the app is released free of bugs. Stay tuned for news - it's coming soon.
