How to make WhatsApp Stickers App?

Himanshu_Sahu · November 15, 2018, 2:30pm

WhatsApp Stickers Apps are in trend now. I want to ask if anyone has any idea or extension to create that app in Kodular/App Maker. We have use many WhatsApp API already. There’s also WhatsApp Stickers API - stickers/Android/app/src/main/java/com/example/samplestickerapp at master · WhatsApp/stickers · GitHub
Anyone can make extension using the API or have any other idea to make WhatsApp Stickers App feel free to share.

No problem bro

I think it is not possible
Because I guess we can not generate images with transparency

But we can make an app like personal Whatsapp stickers. Where we can add our own stickers. There are already apps in Play store. You can check it out.

Well if the sticker wouldn’t be created with the app I believe there is not any problem.

# Android Stickers Apps for WhatsApp

## Overview

If you would like to design your own stickers for WhatsApp, you can package them in an Android app. You will need to distribute your app via the Google Play Store or another mechanism. Users who download and install your sticker app will be able to add your stickers to their WhatsApp sticker picker/tray, and start sending those stickers from within WhatsApp. A separate app is necessary and it will reside on your phone's home screen just like any other app. Stickers on WhatsApp must be legal, authorized, and acceptable. Learn more about acceptable use of our services at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#terms-of-service.

The sample code provides a simple way for you to drop in your sticker art and build an Android app with minimal development or coding experience needed. For advanced developers looking to make richer sticker apps, refer to the section [Advanced Development](#advanced-development) below.

We recommend you create a version of your sticker app for iOS as well to give users of WhatsApp on iOS an opportunity to download your sticker app as well.
## Sticker art and app requirements
We recommend you refer to the FAQ at https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/26000226 for complete details on how to properly create your sticker art. This FAQ also contains a sample PSD that demonstrates best practices for composing legible, rich sticker art.

* A sticker is an image that has a transparent background and can be sent in a
  WhatsApp chat
* Stickers are organized into "packs". Your app can contain anywhere from 1 to
  10 packs. Users must explicitly add each pack to WhatsApp one-by-one, so your
  app should list each pack separately and each pack must have its own
  affordance to add it to WhatsApp (do not try to create "add all packs"
  operations).
* Each sticker pack must have a minimum of 3 stickers and a maximum of 30

But, how can we make this without transparent stickers?

How can we create the pack and add it to whatsapp? (I know there is an paid extension but I prefer doing by me)

Where did you see this extension? I am so interested in making such kind of app with kodular…

And without extension it is not possible.

protip: do a search in the extensions directory App Inventor Extensions | Pura Vida Apps or here in the community

Hi there, I am probably responsible for half of the views in you extensions directory

I have knowledge about this extension since long time ago - there is even a comment of mine at thunkable official topic about the extension. But I have tried to contact the developer many times and he never answered.

Just to confirm, I searched for it again now and there is another user saying that it doesnt’t work and apparently the developer doesn’t intend to update it anymore.

Also, I am since last year trying to find someone to make a similar extension - see here: Budget for extension , but I could never find someone
