Looking for More Actions in App Inventor 2

[Melanie Wiscount]

I am looking for More Choices |Upload Source from these directions in My Projects but cannot find these  words. Can you tell me where they are?

Thank you.

Can I share project code with other App Inventor users?

Yes. To share a project, go to the My Projects page, select a project, then choose More Actions | Download Source. This will create a zip file that you can share with others. To upload a project, go to My Projects, choose More Actions | Upload Source, and choose a zip file previously downloaded from App Inventor. Note: The source code (.zip) files are not executable Android programs -- those are .apk files. The source code is also not Java SDK code -- it can only be loaded into App Inventor.

You probably are working from an AI Classic (the original App Inventor) book?    Try this AI2 free online eBook   http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page.   Perhaps there is a similar project with the correct AI2 blocks in the referenced document?

Perhaps your question is about a different project?   Then, please tell us the name of the project.   or perhaps, this is the link you need for AI2  http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/share.html   sharing?

Did this help?

Regards,

Steve

Steve,

I am working in AI2. There are no links at the bottom of the My Projects page to upload a zip file. How is this done in AI2?

Thanks in advance!

AI2 can not upload App Inventor Classic projects.   If the source file is a project from the original App Inventor, it is called something like:   Paris.zip.  The equivalent source file would be called Paris.aia.      The problem is that App Inventor Classic zip files are incompatible with AI2.

Where did you find this reference to a zip file?   There is possibly a new version of the project created in AI2.

or, are you attempting to load a zip file into the Media bin (resources)?

Regards,

Steve

A note to all users ... please do not email directly.  Respond within this forum please.  Thank you.

My question is only where do I upload a zip file in AI2? I cannot find More Actions in the My Projects page and then to select Upload Source. 

I just need to know how to upload a zip source file to AI2.

 Your question is not clear; some book or otherwise is asking you to upload a file using  find More Actions in the My Projects page and then to select Upload Source.   

You can upload ANY file into the AI2 resources (Media) following the steps, 1, ,2 ,3.    Be aware, once you upload a zip file into Media; there is nothing you can do with it.

If you are looking for this

an AI2 user can upload an aia  source file.     Why are you trying to upload a zip file to AI2?

Again, PLEASE do NOT send emails.  Thank you.
