App Inventor for Android is an open-source web application originally provided by Google, and now maintained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
It allows newcomers to computer programming to create software applications for the Android operating system (OS). It uses a graphical interface, very similar to Scratch which allows users to drag-and-drop visual objects to create an application that can run on Android devices.
The application was made available through request on July 12, 2010, and released publicly on December 15, 2010. The App Inventor team was led by Hal Abelson and Mark Friedman.
In the second half of 2011, Google released the source code, terminated its server, and provided funding for the creation of The MIT Center for Mobile Learning, led by App Inventor creator Hal Abelson and fellow MIT professors Eric Klopfer and Mitchel Resnick. The MIT version was launched in March 2012.
On December 6, 2013 MIT released App Inventor 2, renaming the original version "App Inventor Classic".
SESSION 1:
Search on the official web and try to find out the most you can about App Inventor.
OFFICIAL WEB: http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/
A gmail account is needed. If don't have any, create it !!
SESSION 2: Get ready all the software before you start programming.
There are different ways to watch what you are creating ( http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/setup.html ). We are going to use build button and a QR code reader.
You also have to install a QR Code reader in your phone: for example QR Droid Private. (only the first time !!).
You will also need to go into your phone's settings, choose "Security", then scroll down to allow "Unknown Sources", which allows apps that are not from the Play Store to be installed on the phone
After that, in the App Inventor2 you have to select : Build / App ( provide QR code for .apk ).
Next, you have to scan the QR Code and you will get the app !! Just install it and enjoy it !!
