That extension is amazing thanks for your great work but can you help me with this error message: android.widget.LinearLayout cannot be cast to android.widget.FrameLayout. I tried to let an vertical arrangemente float over a google maps component.

No i tried that and that Don’t works.
I think that is Only for FloatingView not OverlapView.

That’s right, there is no block to restore Overlap, but in some future update, I will introduce this feature.

I think I was wrong, I thought the app continues to run in the background. 
Is it even possible with Kodular to run an app in the background and collect data from the acceleration sensor ?

There is no way to run in background using any app inventor distro.
The only way to implement a service in background is with the push notification service, by onesignal.
I admit I don’t understand why onesignal could do it and everyone else at the comunity couldn’t. May be it is because of the way how push notification works.
Anyway, there is no way to do it.
But well, why did you think that using a float component would make your app run in background?

I think this would be possible, only if you have knowledge of java or if any developer is willing to create it, just use my branch (GitHub - jarlisson2/appinventor-sources at edi1), on it, I added the Services annotation. Here’s an example that I created using PushNotification for Mit App Inventor: GitHub - jarlisson2/PushNotificationAIX: Receive notification via onesignal on AppInventor. Right at the launch of the new version, it will be possible to do this in the main branch, as the request from @Shreyash was merged.

This is not true. The support for use of Services and Content Providers was added by me and will be available after the nb184 release. See this PR for more info:
Also, I see you’ve changed the name of original author (me) in your branch. You aren’t supposed to do that.
Left: Original commits done by me (PR #2217)
Right: Commits of Jarlisson’s branch.

Oh sorry, but this code was made even before you published the request, I can prove it. I just hadn’t done the branch yet …
I don’t know what you did, but my code I copied in the same structure as the ActivityElement annotation and I simply copied the Android Studio documentation structure, If it stayed the same, I’m sorry for the coincidence.

Oh, okay. I just inspected your branch and the code seems a bit different than mine. I’m sorry, I should’ve checked it first.
