Extensions in App inventor Platform


Extensions creates extra capabiliy to perform certain tasks which we cannot found in the Builtin Components. For example we intend turn on the flash light, This option is not available in Builtin Components, In such case comes a name called EXTENSION. A lot of extensions are availble in Communities and some websites also.

Here I am using the Taifun extension for Flash light, which can be found at this link. https://puravidaapps.com/flashlight.php You can download the extenion directly from the said link.

Once you selected the extension you will see the following dialog box. Click import



See the extension is added now. Mow Drag the imported extension and drop it to the screen in the same way how we drag and drop the Buitin Components.


Once the extension is added, The display screen will look like this.






Now we will start the coding.

Our code is complete. Now we can Turn ON and Turn OFF the flash light. This is how we use extensions. The aia file is given below.
