MIT App Inventor allows users to create Android apps using a visual interface and block-based programming. The Designer screen enables users to build the UI with components like buttons and labels, while the Blocks screen defines app behavior through event-driven programming. This tool is designed to be accessible for beginners, facilitating understanding of programming concepts without traditional coding.

User Interface (UI) – Designer

The Designer screen is where you build the app’s user interface by
dragging and dropping components.

Main Components:

Button: Triggers an action when clicked.

Label: Displays text on the screen.

TextBox: Allows users to enter text.

Image: Displays an image.

ListView: Shows a list of items.

Notifier: Displays messages like alerts or notifications.

Layouts: Helps organize components (e.g., HorizontalArrangement,


VerticalArrangement).

Media and Sensors:

Camera, Player, Sound, TextToSpeech: Used for multimedia features.

AccelerometerSensor, LocationSensor: Used to access device sensors like


movement and GPS.
2. Backend Blocks – Programming with Blocks

The Blocks screen is where you define how the app behaves using a visual
programming language (block-based coding).

Types of Blocks:

Events: Triggered by user actions (e.g., when Button1.Click).

Control: Logical flow blocks (e.g., if, else, while, for each).

Logic: Boolean blocks (e.g., true, false, comparisons like <, =, >).

Math: For calculations and numeric operations.

Text: For handling and modifying text.

Variables: To store and use values.

Procedures: Create your own custom blocks (functions) to reuse code.

Example:

Event: when Button1.Click


Action: set Label1.Text to “Hello”

Conclusion

MIT App Inventor is a powerful tool to create Android apps by combining:

A simple and intuitive visual interface.

A block-based programming system that helps beginners understand logic


without writing traditional code.
