3.4 Install our Logic Games to our Android Devices

  • Interscholstic teams cooperated using the same Appinventor account, as if they were working at the same computer lab. 

    To install the games on your Android Device you should have "MIT App Inventor 2" install and then follow the instructions:

    Once the build completes, you can email the app (".apk" file) to your friends who can install it by opening the email from their phone. If you want to distribute it more widely, you can upload it to a website that both you and your friend can access. You can also distribute your app on the Google Play Store.

    NOTE: Anyone installing your app (which is an ".apk" file) will need to change the setting on their phone to allow installation of non-market applications:

    To find this setting on versions of Android prior to 4.0, go to "Settings > Applications" and then check the box next to "Unknown Sources". For devices running Android 4.0 or above, go to "Settings > Security" or "Settings > Security & Screen Lock" and then check the box next to "Unknown Sources" and confirm your choice.

    Note: The source code (.aia) 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. (http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/share.html)

    An easier way to upload the apk file is through qr code, that links to the app-game!

    You can download and install some of the gameswe created, by trapping the next-coming qr-codes (use your mobile phone), opening the coresponding pages and installing them!
