Great extension, @Mohamed_Tamer!

Vaibhav · October 26, 2020, 4:01am

First extension???

WatermelonIce · October 26, 2020, 4:11am

That is the first in this community, it is just a reupload with a new topic

Srrazmi · October 26, 2020, 4:29am

Very Helpful Extension

Vaibhav · October 26, 2020, 4:33am

Yes I know that. A traditional copy-paste mistake

sonumohammad333 · October 26, 2020, 7:34am

Nice extension.
The name of the block is so long.
String2Dictionary will be nice

sonumohammad333 · October 26, 2020, 7:35am

Edit: This method seems not working always.

We can also do it like this.

dora_paz · October 26, 2020, 7:37am

Not always, see why here…

Mohamed_Tamer · October 26, 2020, 8:13am

Thanks @hammerhai @marco_tanzi @WatermelonIce @The_K_Studio @FahadAhmad @Srrazmi @Vaibhav @sonumohammad333 @AryanGupta for your posts And every one else how liked this extension

It’s really my first extension to share in the community But actually I didn’t create a new topic for it, that’s why I said it’s my first extension

Thanks for your suggestion , I will consider renaming it , in the next update maybe 1
!

Actually the name is just from App Inventor (because this block is missing in Kodular). The source is most probably from app inventor too

Mohamed_Tamer · October 26, 2020, 8:39am

Yes, you are right , I think he meant the extension name .

The source isn’t hard actually I’ve used the JsonUtils class to decode the json:

github.com

mit-cml/appinventor-sources/blob/f7448185cbad0cb18248ee590e563223acc8d3fc/appinventor/components/src/com/google/appinventor/components/runtime/util/JsonUtil.java

For instance this method:

mit-cml/appinventor-sources/blob/f7448185cbad0cb18248ee590e563223acc8d3fc/appinventor/components/src/com/google/appinventor/components/runtime/util/JsonUtil.java#L332

    
      
           * Parses the JSON content represented by {@code jsonString} into a YAIL object. The
           * {@code useDicts} flag controls whether JSON objects are parsed as YailDictionary (true) or
           * associative YailList (false).
           *
           * @param jsonString the JSON text to parse
           * @param useDicts true if YailDictionary should be used for JSON objects,
           *                 false for associative lists
           * @return the parsed object
           * @throws JSONException if the JSON is malformed
           */
          public static Object getObjectFromJson(String jsonString, boolean useDicts) throws JSONException {
            if ((jsonString == null) || jsonString.equals("")) {
              // We'd like the empty string to decode to the empty string.  Form.java
              // relies on this for the case where there's an activity result with no intent data.
              // We handle this case explicitly since nextValue() appears to throw an error
              // when given the empty string.
              return "";
            } else {
              final Object value = (new JSONTokener(jsonString)).nextValue();
              // Note that the JSONTokener may return a value equals() to null.
              if (value == null || value.equals(JSONObject.NULL)) {

The source code is isn’t similar with app Inventor code ( specially after rewriting it ). I’ve optimized it a lot to decrease the extension size.

sonumohammad333 · October 26, 2020, 8:48am

I was talking about the block.

But its name is lengthy.

Mohamed_Tamer · October 26, 2020, 8:50am

I misunderstood I actually always see it’s very lengthy,too I will change it in the next update

themaayur · October 27, 2020, 3:56am
