Creating a journal/diary in App Inventor 2

[Asta Bertolini]

I am creating an app for school and I need to create a diary/journal. In this diary I want the user to be able create multiple entries  and be able to look at them at any time. 

I am using chrome and the MIT App Inventor website to create this.

How would I do this?

There are several options Asta.  You could use a File control to store a text diary, or use the TinyDB  if you want the diary to store locally on your phone/tablet.   There are also options to store the diary in the Cloud using Fusion Tables or a Google Spreadsheet.

To help you decide, here are some 'diary' examples posted on the MIT Gallery that should give you some ideas about how you would like to build your diary.  

 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  .

To get specific advice, you need to decide how you want to store your diary; in the device or in the Cloud  and what tools to use.  We you know, ask again telling us exactly what you want to do and what you tried and you will get help.
