Add Custom Package Option

[Abhijith Dominic]

Hello,
I have Cloned the AppInventor Sources and Build a Version but There is no Custom Package Option in it, I want to add Custom package option If anyone Could Explain Clearly On How to do that, It would be Great.

Thanks

[Abhijith Dominic]

Any Documentation or Examples of Code could really help. Thanks

Hello,

Before being able to help, I am not quite sure what you mean by Custom Package? By custom package, do you mean custom components not part of the App Inventor, or custom code in general?

Cheers!

[Abhijith Dominic]

Sorry I should have been more clear, I meant custom package name

[Evan Patton]

This is a really non-trivial change. There are a lot of assumptions in different areas about what the default package name is. You might be able to skip most of the changes by doing the following:

1. Add a new designer-only property to Form to represent the custom package name

2. In MockForm, only show the new property if isScreen1() is true. Add the new package name to the ProjectSettings object

3. In the Project class in buildserver, add a method to extract the package name from the project settings

4. The mainClass property will need to be changed to reflect the new package name

5. After Compiler unpacks the source code, you'll need to move the files from the default package name to set of directories representing the new package name.

That's a rough sketch. There may be more intermediate steps.

Evan

Thank You so Much. Steps 1 to 4 are clear but step 5.. Where can i find those files? Where does the compiler unpack it to?

[Evan Patton]

Actually, I misspoke. The project is unpacked in the ProjectBuilder class in the method extractProjectFiles. It unzips the contents of the project into a temporary directory (which is cleaned up at the end of the build). As part of the unpacking, you would want to extract the source files to the new directory structure representing the custom package instead of the App Inventor default package name.

Evan

Okay I'll give it a try

Maybe you can look at the AppyBuilder source code that is also open source and based upon the App Inventor sourcecode and see how they did it.

I have looked at it but theirs is a build version of the AppInventor

[Peter Mathijssen]

Did you use the link i gave you? They have a personal build version and also the source code available.

Oh yeah they do have source code. Thanks

[Abhijith Dominic]

Which is the MainClass Property?

I am Receiving this error :

This means you aren't properly passing parameter between different classes. If your code is open, we can take a look and help, otherwise it's difficult guessing what's missing.
