ContactPicker

A button that, when clicked on, displays a list of the contacts to choose among. After the user has made a selection, the following properties will be set to information about the chosen contact:

• ContactName: the contact’s name
• EmailAddress: the contact’s primary email address
• EmailAddressList: a list of the contact’s email addresses
• ContactUri: the contact’s URI on the device
• PhoneNumber: the contact’s primary phone number (on Later Android Verisons)
• PhoneNumberList: a list of the contact’s phone numbers (on Later Android Versions)
• Picture: the name of the file containing the contact’s image, which can be used as a Picture property value for the Image or ImageSprite component.

Other properties affect the appearance of the button (TextAlignment, BackgroundColor, etc.) and whether it can be clicked on (Enabled).

The ContactPicker component might not work on all phones. For example, on Android systems before system 3.0, it cannot pick phone numbers, and the list of email addresses will contain only one email.

PhoneCall

A non-visible component that makes a phone call to the number specified in the PhoneNumber property, which can be set either in the Designer or Blocks Editor. The component has a MakePhoneCall method, enabling the program to launch a phone call. You may also use MakePhoneCallDirect to directly initiate a phone call without user interaction. However, apps using this block may require further review by Google if submitted to the Play Store so it is advised to use MakePhoneCall instead.

Often, this component is used with the ContactPicker component, which lets the user select a contact from the ones stored on the phone and sets the PhoneNumber property to ContactPicker’s PhoneNumber property.

To directly specify the phone number (e.g., 650-555-1212), set the PhoneNumber property to a Text with the specified digits (e.g., “6505551212”). Dashes, dots, and parentheses may be included (e.g., “(650)-555-1212”) but will be ignored; spaces may not be included.

Properties

• 1: Incoming call is ringing
• 2: Outgoing call is dialled

Methods

MakePhoneCall()

Launches the default dialer app set to start a phone call using the number in the PhoneNumber property.

MakePhoneCallDirect()

Directly initiates a phone call using the number in the PhoneNumber property, bypassing user interaction to start the call. Most apps should use MakePhoneCall instead, which requires no permissions.

Sharing

Sharing is a non-visible component that enables sharing files and/or messages between your app and other apps installed on a device. The component will display a list of the installed apps that can handle the information provided, and will allow the user to choose one to share the content with, for instance a mail app, a social network app, a texting app, and so on.

The file path can be taken directly from other components such as the Camera or the ImagePicker, but can also be specified directly to read from storage. Be aware that different devices treat storage differently, so a few things to try if, for instance, you have a file called arrow.gif in the folder Appinventor/assets, would be:

• "file:///sdcard/Appinventor/assets/arrow.gif"; or
• "/storage/Appinventor/assets/arrow.gif"

Properties

None

Events

None

Methods

ShareFile(file)

Shares a file through any capable application installed on the phone by displaying a list of the available apps and allowing the user to choose one from the list. The selected app will open with the file inserted on it.

ShareFileWithMessage(file,message)

Shares both a file and a message through any capable application installed on the phone by displaying a list of available apps and allowing the user to choose one from the list. The selected app will open with the file and message inserted on it.

ShareMessage(message)

Shares a message through any capable application installed on the phone by displaying a list of the available apps and allowing the user to choose one from the list. The selected app will open with the message inserted on it.

Survey

Component for displaying surveys This component makes use of Android WebView to display survey question. AI Developer could customize survey question and survey types. After the questions are answered, they will be saved into local database and upload to remote server (Trust Framework). For simplicity, there’s only one question in one survey component

Properties

LoadSurvey()

Set survey style, set question beforecall LoadSurvey

SetOptions(options)

For survey style MultipleChoice, ChooseList, CheckBox and ScalePassuse this to pass in options for survey answers. Note for Scale, only three options should be passed in and in the order of “min”, “max”, “default” value of the scale

Texting

A component that will, when the SendMessage method is called, launch the device’s preferred texting app to send the text message specified in the SendMessage property to the phone number specified in the PhoneNumber property. You may also send text messages without user interaction by calling SendMessageDirect instead, but this adds dangerous permissions to your final app.

If the ReceivingEnabled property is set to 1 messages will not be received. If ReceivingEnabled is set to 2 messages will be received only when the application is running. Finally if ReceivingEnabled is set to 3, messages will be received when the application is running and when the application is not running they will be queued and a notification displayed to the user.

When a message arrives, the MessageReceived event is raised and provides the sending number and message.

An app that includes this component will receive messages even when it is in the background (i.e. when it’s not visible on the screen) and, moreso, even if the app is not running, so long as it’s installed on the phone. If the phone receives a text message when the app is not in the foreground, the phone will show a notification in the notification bar. Selecting the notification will bring up the app. As an app developer, you’ll probably want to give your users the ability to control ReceivingEnabled so that they can make the phone ignore text messages.

If the GoogleVoiceEnabled property is true, messages can be sent over Wifi using Google Voice. This option requires that the user have a Google Voice account and that the mobile Voice app is installed on the phone. The Google Voice option works only on phones that support Android 2.0 (Eclair) or higher. Unfortunately, receiving no longer works in Google Voice due to changes introduced in Google Voice App.

To specify the phone number (e.g., 650-555-1212), set the PhoneNumber property to a Text string with the specified digits (e.g., 6505551212). Dashes, dots, and parentheses may be included (e.g., (650)-555-1212) but will be ignored; spaces may not be included.

Another way for an app to specify a phone number would be to include a PhoneNumberPicker component, which lets the users select a phone numbers from the ones stored in the the phone’s contacts.

Properties

GoogleVoiceEnabled

If this property is true, then SendMessage will attempt to send messages over WiFi, using Google voice.

Message

The message that will be sent when the SendMessage method is called. The maximum length of a standard SMS message is usually 170. It may be less for languages using diacritical marks.

PhoneNumber

The number that the message will be sent to when the SendMessage method is called. The number is a text string with the specified digits (e.g., 6505551212). Dashes, dots, and parentheses may be included (e.g., (650)-555-1212) but will be ignored; spaces should not be included.

ReceivingEnabled

If set to 1 (OFF) no messages will be received. If set to 2 (FOREGROUND) or 3 (ALWAYS) the component will respond to messages if it is running. In the case of 2 (FOREGROUND), messages received while the app is not running are discarded. In the case of 3 (ALWAYS), messages receive while the app is not running will show a notification. Selecting the notification will bring up the app and signal the MessageReceived event. Messages received when the app is dormant will be queued, and so several MessageReceived events might appear when the app awakens. As an app developer, it would be a good idea to give your users control over this property, so they can make their phones ignore text messages when your app is installed.

Events

MessageReceived(number,messageText)

Event that’s raised when a text message is received by the phone. Using this block will add dangerous permissions that will require additional approval if your app is submitted to the Google Play Store.

Methods

SendMessage()

Launch the phone’s default text messaging app with the message and phone number prepopulated.

SendMessageDirect()

Send a text message. Using this block will add dangerous permissions that will require additional approval if your app is submitted to the Google Play Store.
