Have really not found anything helpful so far

Yes you need to learn Java. It’s not like Kodular Creator where you drag and drop, this would end up in limited functionality.

thanks, i actually want to make an extension, that a user must download an app from a site i provide to actually access the contents of that app. I this actually possible?

[hammerhai (Nathan)]

Can you explain more in depth what you mean?

[lanrejosh7 (Lanre Josh)]

if you look at this image you would discover that you could actually prevent users from using your app if they don’t download from playstore like this:

i want to do something like this, so users of my app will be prevented if they don’t download from the website i provide.

You can’t really check whether they downloaded it from an external site.

[lanrejosh7 (Lanre Josh)]

Making an app non_shareable

Hi guys! I discovered that in the device utilities you could actually make your app non_shareable by preventing users from accessing it’s files if not installed from play store. My question is; if a person downloads it from play store, if shared to someone else would it work for that person? since the app should recognize that this app was actually downloaded from play store. Also how would the app actually know it was from playstore, would it require the phone to be online or, is it going to b…

Oh boy, I see you’re confused.

@hammerhai

You can’t really check whether they downloaded it from an external site.

You can’t check if someone installed your app from your site. It’s not possible, you can really only check if it was installed from the Package Installer itself or an app store from your phone.

On that topic, you were basically given the solution you’re asking for now

[lanrejosh7 (Lanre Josh)]

Sorry am not really a tech genius still new to the whole coding stuff. But can you brief me on what this package installer is? also if i want to actually go about this, i won’t want to put the app on playstore, but where ever i put it, the user must download from there or else it won’t work just like saying the download must be from playstore or else it won’t work.

The Package Installer is a thing that comes with your device and installs APKs that come from a source that’s not “verified” by your device. Say you download an APK from Kodular, and install it on your phone, the process to be able to install it from would be the devices default Package Installer.
