Quiz using TinyDB example

[Maj B]

Anybody know where i can see how a quiz or trivia .aia that uses TinyDB not TinyWeb.

1. I want to create a 50 question/answer app quiz and want to update the questions/answers weekly.  Hopefully using TinyDB without having to have users web connected.  An example file would be nice.

Have you done the following MIT tutorial Maj?   http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/quizme.html      QuizMe for App Inventor 2

QuizMe is a trivia game about baseball, but you can use it as a template to build quizzes on any topic. This tutorial is especially useful for learning about working with information in Lists. Lists are useful data structures for keeping track of many items of the same type, especially when you want to cycle through those items.

The tutorial does not do all you want to do.  It is the basis for a trivia quiz.

Updating the quiz is a problem.  The simple solution is to provide a new app weekly to users.   Otherwise, you might use a FusionTable to provide the new trivia but then users would have to be web connected.   You could provide code that would let the user to copy information from the FusionTable to the users TinyDB (they would have to have a web connection to do the download of new trivia) but once in the TinyDB the new quiz would be available to them anytime.    A simple fix to the QuizMe tutorial would be to use the TinyDB to provide updated Lists (which are used in that app).

We want you to have fun with App Inventor so here are some resources to help you learn to use the AI2 tools  A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook   http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page.  The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.

There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro  and the aia files for the projects in the book are here:  http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles  

How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here:  http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling  .

Does this help you program?    Please continue to ask questions here however if you read the information above, you will not have to wait for answers.

Just try some blocks and have fun.

Regards,

Steve

Okay, thanks for the quick response, and info.  I have toyed with quite a few of the tutorials and still learning.  Thanks for the link -
