Designing Android apps
October 09, 2012, 09:55:38 am
I'm wanting to make some topo apps (for personal/friends use) and was wondering if there's an easy way to do this without getting into any programming languages or anything...

Is there any other way of doing it? It says the "build your own topo" isn't available yet.

Yes, google appinventor that was taken over my MIT although the apps it makes aren't lightweight as they obviously require some behind the scenes framework.

It is programming but not as you know it, its more like constructing a flow diagram.

Contact him directly, I believe he worked with whoever it is wrote the North Wales guide to get that up and running rather than having a framework for individuals to use on their own.

That buildering guide for Scunny is going to take a bespoke App I suspect ;)

hi, the platform isn't open to the public as in 'crowd-sourced free-for-all' but anyone, or group of people, who want to author an guidebook/topo app can do so via the database and turn their content into an app.

Feel free to PM if you want some more info.
