Study Notes

Web Viewer App

  • A web viewer app aggregates websites with user-defined themes or categories.
  • It instantly displays online material, aiding event tracking.
  • Useful for apps focused on specific subjects requiring frequent updates.
  • Benefits include reduced misinformation risk by curating trusted sources and protecting users from phishing attempts.
  • It saves user time and effort in gathering reliable information.

Events and Properties

Event Handler Blocks

  • Define app's reaction to specific events (before, during, after).
  • Events can be user-initiated or automated.

User-Initiated Events

  • Include button clicks, screen touches/moves, and phone tilting.
  • Sensor events: Phone movement triggers orientation sensor, accelerometer, location sensor events.

Automated Events

  • Examples include sprite collisions with each other or canvas edges.
  • Timer events triggered by the TimerInterval attribute in clock and sprite components (every interval).

Properties

  • Attributes describing a component's characteristics.
  • Event components have unique sets of properties.

Example Event and Property Pairs

  • On_Start, Brand
  • On_Break, Model
  • On_Park, Color

Button Click Event

  • Triggers an "Open Another Screen" command block on button click.

Screen Navigation

  • Open Another Screen command opens other screens.
  • Screen Name expression block specifies the desired screen.

Web Access

  • Call Web Viewer command initiates a URL search.
  • Text String expression block accepts a defined URL.

Data Types

  • Numbers: Used in mathematical operations within Math blocks.
  • Strings: Used for text manipulation (e.g., converting uppercase to lowercase, concatenation).
  • Booleans: Used in logical sequences (true or false) for decision-making.

Variables

  • Store data with values that can change during code execution.

Variable Naming Conventions

  • Variable names must not start with numbers or contain spaces. Special characters are also disallowed.

Operators

Arithmetic Operators

  • Used for mathematical calculations (+, -, ×, ÷, modulus, exponentiation).
  • Enhance app functionality by enabling numerical manipulation.
