migration

[rohan batra]

my question is that i am using thunkable as my previous platform and half done the project i was working on then got to know about that there is a screen limitation that screwed me up so is there any way to transfer that aia (project file) from thunkable to app inventor

Hello Rohan

Only bad news I'm afraid

1. The Thunkable Project File is unlikely to be fully compatible with App Inventor, so you would need to re-write the code
2. App Inventor has a similar limit on the number of Screens (10) if that is the limitation to which you refer

If your concern is the number of Screens:

1. Ask yourself if so many Screens are necessary (note that commercial Apps tend not to have many Screens) Read chapter 19 - 21 in Dave's book: http://www.appinventor.org/book2 to get an idea how to do DRY programming with App Inventor - Don't repeat yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself

       2. You can use Virtual Screens instead:
