Is there any advantage to using this online editor, besides not having to install ( ant ,gith,VS ) it on our computer?

Total time: 8 secondsFor me there’s only one. The time when I was restricted to install anything to my pc.
Using online editor cannot rename the project (java) namr, therefore the class name must be the same as the project name.
There is no variable called arrangement, I think you want to type component.
In HVArrangement class, creating a new arrangement need a component container, an integer and a boolean.
Let me check the source code of HVArrangement first and see how it works 
In HVArrangement:
You need to specify container, orientation and scrollable.
Therefore,
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.*;
import com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.*;
import com.google.appinventor.components.common.ComponentCategory;
import com.google.appinventor.components.common.ComponentConstants;
import android.view.View;
@DesignerComponent(version = 1, description = " made by Soham Shah",
category = ComponentCategory.EXTENSION,
nonVisible = true, iconName = "http://yusufcihan.com/img/favicon.png")
@SimpleObject(external = true)
public class DynamicArrangements extends AndroidNonvisibleComponent {
private ComponentContainer container;
/**
* @param container container, component will be placed in
*/
public DynamicArrangements(ComponentContainer container) {
super(container.$form());
this.container = container;
}
@SimpleFunction(description = "Creates a dynamic arrangement in selected arrangement.")
public void CreateArrangement(AndroidViewComponent component) {
new HVArrangement((ComponentContainer)component, LAYOUT_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL /*or LAYOUT_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL*/, true //or false depends on scrollable or not)
}
Note
- Constant of orientation:
static final int LAYOUT_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL = ComponentConstants.LAYOUT_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL; //0
static final int LAYOUT_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL = ComponentConstants.LAYOUT_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL; //1
can you please send the code like you did for below so i can copy and paste
It is from github
You can easily try @yusufcihan source code as i’ve said earlier :
No need to copy all code of the HVArrangement in your extension.Simply import
com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.HVArrangement
Here the output of this constructor ( HVArrangement ) will be better if it was assigned to a variable so you can use later.Something like:
HVArrangement myArrangement = new HVArrangement ( layout,orentationEnum,scrollable );
Well actually I am just showing the code and tell him what should he deals with parameters
1 Like
I thought you told him that becuase he said send me the code, so you sent him the github link 
.Any way, he still need to import the HVArrangement class, or at least import its parent packagecom.google.appinventor.components.runtime.*; 
Just tested, after removing unnecessary imports in my post 11, it works.

so what do i need to change?
Did you not see my test code…

Also you can see this.It should do it properly

If your project has another name, rename this one:

name of project is Mjkl4.java
so i should change it to

yes it should be
@Mohamed_Tamer i am able to create the same dynamic arrangements extension but it requires user to input what sort of arrangement user wants, whereas i want to directly create verticalarrangement
