his extension can return action only not extra values and my extension can return extra values from intent.

For example user listening music in spotify app with these intent com.spotify.music.playbackstatechanged
com.spotify.music.metadatachanged
com.spotify.music.queuechanged
you can get the music info like artist name , music name & track info etc from spotify app

Hello @Shreyaa ,
this is a great extension, working excellent!
But I have a question:
How can I check with Blocks whether the Filter ist registered or not? I plan to Register the Receiver with initializing of a screen. Going to another Screen the Filter is still active (and it of course should be) - going back to the “Intentfilter-Screen” starts with initializing a second registration which doubles in some cases the received List Items. therefore I want to add in the Screen Initialising Block an If-Statement only register if it is not registered. How can I achieve that?

Just store something in TinyDB after registering and check that tag in TinyDB before trying to register

It might be easier to use only one screen together with virtual screens… see also tip 1 here

General Tips and Tricks for App Inventor/Kodular

Use different screens wisely Before starting to create another screen, first you should think about is it really necessary? See also Building apps with many screens and SteveJG’s post about advantages/disadvantages, because in only one screen you also can use vertical arrangements to simulate different screens, just set the arrangements to visible = true/false as needed… If you decided to use different screens, then you should switch them correctly, else you will run out of memory after a wh…
