DynamicComponents Schema Generator for AI2

A simple web tool to generate templates (aka. "schemas") to use with Dynamic Components extension from existing App Inventor project files. (also known as "AIA file")

Pick a project

The selected file won't be transmitted to the network, all of these operations will be done in your browser. The project must not be corrupt and must not be packaged in another archive.

Both AIA and AIS files are supported.

Select a screen

Select a screen from the project file. You can generate a schema only for a screen at the same time, as the schema format can't contain components for multiple screens. You can however use the generated schema in any screen.

No project file selected.

Template options

Optional settings before generating the schema.

Choose a screen first.

Author of the template. You can set this to any value you want. It will be included in the generated template, and doesn't have any functionality.

Include extensions

Include non-visible extensions which added to screen in the template, so DynamicComponents also creates these extension instances dynamically. It may seem unnecessary and uncommon if you won't need multiple instances of the same extension, but it is up to you anyway. DynamicComponents itself is always excluded from the template regardless of that option.

Use RGBA instead of ARGB for colors

May fix the issues with colors between different App Inventor distributions. Only check if you are seeing invalid colors in created components.

Allow re-use (recommended)

As all generated components must have unique IDs, re-using the same schema will result in a error as component names doesn't change. To resolve that, you can enable this option which results in an "index key" will be appended to the end of the component names in the schema. You still need a counter in your blocks to make this work.

Create template

Thanks for your visit!

I'm Yusuf and I'm devoted to free and open source software to leave a better future for tomorrows, and not to turn a blind eye to the unethical behavior of big corporations that they do just for the sake of money.

But developing free (as-in freedom) software and making it freely (as-in price) available to everyone takes time and effort, and that would be difficult to continue without your support. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you would like to support me and my content.
