@themaayur

load on user scroll.

I am doing this
The API returns 30 per page

[themaayur (Mayur Berad)]

Then load 10 or 5 each time according to your need.

@yusufcihan

asynchronously affects this extension’s behaviour.

Yeah… I thought about it…

I request you to create an extension similar to Async Procedures extension to run Procedures

[sonumohammad333 (Sonu Mohammad)]

Is schema faster?

[yusufcihan]

@sonumohammad333

Is schema faster?

Same speed, it just decreases the block usage.

@sonumohammad333

The API returns 30 per page

Actually it takes less than 1 second to create 30 components, but if you are loading images from URL, you should use the Async Image Utilities component. Here is the speed benchmark.

As Schema set the properties by default, I got the doubt

@yusufcihan

Not just 30 components, there are layouts and components inside

@yusufcihan

loading images from URL

I am using this extension to load images asynchronously with caching

[FREE] Image Loader - Extension for image loading and caching

Image Loader Hi everyone, Today I present a new extension based on Universal Image Loader that allows you to load and cache images. Demo Event OnLoadingStarted: Event when the loading of the image is started. The url returns the URL of the image. [OnLoadingStarted] OnLoadingFailed: Event when the image is failed to load. The url returns the URL of the image. [OnLoadingFailed] OnLoadingComplete: Event when the image is loaded. The url returns the URL of the image. [OnLoading…

Then how many components?

Hey @yusufcihan

Is it possible to add a block to copy the properties from another component?

If this should be possible we can create a template and copy the properties without a big block group

Why not.

@Ka_Fa

If this should be possible we can create a template and copy the properties without a big block group

Also, you can create a lot of components with only one block by Schema block. So you can create a JSON which specifies component properties and paste in the text block.

[HeyAveHey]

It would be a great solution to build in previous component property getter!

[HeyAveHey]

I don’t know how the JSON parsers in JAVA works and what are their possibilities, but this extension is on the good way to let us work on JSON more efficient!

I didn’t understand what you mean. If it is possible, can you explain what you mean with pictures?

[TechyGuy (AnonGuy)]

Hello Yusuf,

I would like to Thanks First for this Awesome Extension,

I want to know is this Possible -->

1. I made a Cardview with label and buttons in it in VerticalArrangement1, Now I want same in VerticalArrangement2 with Properties, so it is Possible, if yes please show me blocks.

[yusufcihan]

@TechyGuy

Now I want same in VerticalArrangement2 with Properties, so it is Possible, if yes please show me blocks

Use a “for each” loop to apply the same properties to multiple components.

Just saw in github, we will be able to make a Schema automatically using aia!

@WatermelonIce

You just found the secret!

Yes, I just made a Python tool that generates Schema automatically from AIA, but I’m still looking for a way that everyone could use publicly because it is still not a one-click method. You will need to open the terminal, install the modules, and run the script, etc.

Maybe I can compile it to an executable (make a GUI) before the new version comes out because I actually planned to announce the TemplateCreator along with new version, but that is not possible anymore because of you (just kidding )

P.S
As it is not released yet and I’m still looking for a way as I said above, it can be moved to a new repository, or I can rewrite it in another language. So be careful about using right now.

[HeyAveHey]

But it makes no sense Also i found that getting width or height of component when it is set to -1 or -2 doesn’t work instantly. Value goes to 0, there must be a little break between component creation and getting width or height. It must be a kodular latency.

[WatermelonIce (Bryan)]

I found out if I uses the image loader extension, the image height and width doesn’t work, even if I set it afterwards.

[yusufcihan]

GetProperty expects any component which is dynamic or static. (It can be a existing Designer component too ) So if you want to use the GetProperty block with dynamically created block, just use together with the GetComponent block.

Need Help To Publish App On Playstore

I got an answer from @Mika that Kodular (Built on Aug 3: 1.4C 5-Eagle) still uses the Support library: But Evan Patton (AI2 - MIT team) said: “If so, the extension author will need to update their extension to use the AndroidX libraries as Google has deprecated the older Android Support libraries and we are no longer using them in App Inventor.”

I would like to say something about how this situation affects this extension (Dynamic Components).

This extension doesn’t use any Android support library, so you can use this extension safely in any App Inventor distribution (after and before AndroidX update).

Also, my extension doesn’t use any external library, so all libraries/imports that I use are already available in Android starting from API Level 1.
