Timetable with NFC Integrated

[Katrina Fong]

Hi everyone! I have a problem with making a timetable in App Inventor 2. I'm also going to integrate NFC tags in the project, so i would also like some app. 

Some background info is that the app basically reminds the user what to bring on Monday, Tuesday, and so on. The user has to scan the NFC tag with the phone(with the app opened), and the app will check off the item scanned. 

Thanks!

What have you tried Katrina?  There is no tutorial that shows how to do exactly what you want to do.

Here are some examples showing how to use NFC tags with App Inventor 2  https://www.google.com/search?q=app+inventor+nfc&oq=app+inventor+nfc&aqs=chrome..69i57.4911j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 

That should get you started.   These resources, perhaps should help you finish and 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  .

Also look here http://kio4.com/appinventor/index.htm and here http://www.imagnity.com/tutorial-index/ for more tutorials.

To help you program the " if it is Tuesday, then bring pencils" part, specifically review 

• Chapter 18. Programming Your App to Make Decisions   Use the Clock object to determine which day of the week.  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/mitappinventortest/xPy6KggHicM/xU-DjNQDEQAJ;context-place=categories/mitappinventortest

Try some Blocks, if you have a specific question or run into issues, post again here in the Forum and someone will probably provide advice.

Thanks so much! I'll definitely check out the links!

Be sure to look at the blocks for the Clock component, in the Sensors drawer of the Designer,

especially the Day of Week block.
