Anyone write Android apps?
« on: January 28, 2018, 04:58:24 AM »

I know this is way outside the realm of home automation,  but I've been kind of obsessed with writing an android app that automates reporting for our Snow Plow business.
If there is anyone on here with experience with the AI2 app inventor, Google scripts, and Google Sheets, would you offer your assistance?

I have hit a stumbling block, and progress has ceased.

I dont think this is out side the realm.
 You don't  state what you've  used to write your app.
I've written a few small apps with B4A they have a verry active forum and the developer regularly updates the developing tools.
You may beable to do what your looking to do with it. Certainly you'll find someone there willing to help with your project though if not using B4A it may make things even more confusing.

Actually just found out the problem wasn't in the code, it was the updated Google script. I had to append the version number for it to update correctly.

Good to know! ;)
I find Google updates cause many coded things to stop working.
You may have to update your app each time google update the code.

Just take note of what you had to change this time around. Next time it may be the same thing and knowing what to do will mean your not down long. ;)
