NBM APP MAKER allows you to create your own Android apps from HTML content.
No coding is necessary for basic needs - just use any web page design tool to make the content.
The content may also include pictures, scripts, CSS, etc.
To create a new app
Click NEW button in the action bar.
To edit existing app
Click on the app in the app list.
To build and run the app
Click BUILD button in the action bar.
If Android blocks the installation of your new app, open the Settings app, go to Security section, and switch on Unknown Sources.
What is Label?
Label is the name of the application. It is displayed under the app icon on the launcher screen.
What is Icon?
Icon is a small picture representing the app. It is displayed on the launcher screen.
When you choose an image to be used as an icon, it will be scaled to 144x144 pixels. This may cause some distortion.
What is Content?
Content is the initial HTML content that is loaded when your app starts.
What is Assets Folder?
Assets Folder is the folder with your files. The whole folder and all its sub-folders will be included in the app.
Files in the Assets Folder can be referred to in HTML as [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
What is Package Name?
Package name identifies an app in Android. Same package name means same app.
When you install an app, Android checks if there is an installed app with the same package name. If yes, the app will be replaced with the new one.
Package name may only contain lowercase letters, digits, underscores ("_") and dots.
Choose a name that is unlikely to be used by any other app.
What is Version?
Version is a number that becomes important when you distribute your app.
For example, after publishing an app on Google Play, you can only update it with an app that has a higher version number (and the same package name).
How to link to other HTML pages?
<a href="file:///android_asset/AnotherPage.html"> Link to a file in the Assets Folder </a>
<a href="file:///sdcard//ExternalPage.html"> Link to a file on the device memory card </a>
For security reasons, links to web pages on the Internet will be opened in a browser, not in your app.
Testing
You can test the content of your app without rebuilding it. In the content activity, click TEST. This will only work
if your app has already been built before.
