How to import local library in sketchware

 Hey Coders,

In this post I'll tell you how to import local library in sketchware. This is very useful when you try some new widget. 


How to get dependency

For that you need to have library dependency. You can get dependency from GitHub or documentation page of the widget. 
For example I am trying to download library for nobo button. 



I go to GitHub and search for this code containing dependency. And now copy the code written after dependency. By copying this code I get this line 
com.ornach.nobobutton:nobobutton:1.6
This code is separated by two ':' 

Now come to sketchware open any project then click on 3 dots. 



Then scroll and search for option of local library.

You will get it below custom blocks and above native library option.




Open this option and here you'll get all library list that you're having in sketchware. You can enable or disable any library. 

Above all these libraries you'll find an icon representing download file.  Click on this icon and then a dialog Box will appear. 




You can select from DX or D8 option. DX is useful if your app includes target device below android 8. And D8 is useful if your app targets android 8 and above. 




It means that if you use DX than you need to code with old version of java and your app will support all Android devices. 


But if you use D8 than you can code your app in java8 ( latest version java ). But than your app will only supports android 8 and above and it will not work properly on android version below 8. 

If you don't know what to do than simply click On DX. 
After you click a new dialog will open like this.




In this Dialog box fill your dependency. 



 


Now click on start and proccess will start. 

This proccess is automatic and takes about 10-15 seconds. ( In some libraries it take upto 5 minutes).
When the proccess is complete then the library will be added in list.


How to search for Library

Sometimes you get error here. You downloaded library and now you can't find it.
So to do this you just need to look at your dependency. In this case my dependency was com.ornach.nobobutton:nobobutton:1.6
So I crop letters before first ':' and First ':' then I get
nobobutton:1.6
Then I'll replace second ':' with _V_  then I get this
nobobutton_V_1.6
This is final result. The library you downloaded will have name nobobutton_V_1.6 

All done!
Hope you find answers go your query if you got any error then please comment below this post

what is sketchware and history of sketchware

Image
What is sketchwere   Sketchware is an integrated development environment (IDE) inspired from the language Scratch, which allows you to develop, compile, and build an Android application directly on your smartphone, without any help from a PC. It uses block language like Scratch, an innovative programming language invented by MIT that transforms the complex language of text-based coding into visual, drag-and-drop building blocks. It’s okay if you do not know anything about developing Android apps.   History of sketchwere Sketchware started in 2016 when the founders quit their original jobs to dedicate their time and efforts to creating the most convenient and flexible app development tool for people without extensive programming background knowledge. The idea was to help people learn faster by effortlessly creating android applications on their smartphone. Sketchware is an online application development platform intended to develop applications through a smartphone.  The comp

Create HTML Dialog in Sketchware

  Introduction Dialogs are important part of sketchware coding. But due to limitations of dialogs customizations, it is hard to add new view in it. And also customization of that view is hard. But a Sketchware dev created a much better solution for showing view in dialog. And it unlock new opportunities for sketchware devs to create better app with sketchware. In this project we are creating a dialog which uses html to show it's content. We'll use webview as custom view for dialog, and then load html in it.  Our final result is going to look like this this -> So let's create it.  Sketchware Project creating *There is nothing to do in oncreate section Create a new project in sketchware and add a button in the view section.  Then  go to button Onclick  Add all the block described here. 1. Add an ASD Block with code. AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this); This will create new dialog, There is no need of adding dialog from components. ` 2. C

  Helo Guys, Today i am going to tell how to make percentage loading bar in sketchware. How it works in Sketchware Pro ? For example you add a progress bar in sketchware and it looks normal but there is a method in which you can add a textview which will show how much percent is loaded. And the best thing is that this textview will be interlinked with progress bar. So let's start our project View manager In view manager section I have added a linear named  load   a progressbar named  progressbar1  and a textview named  persen  . Components manager In components manager I added a timer named  t  and a intent named  I  Oncreate I have added a number variable named  n .  1. Set number  n  to  0 2. Timer after  100ms  for every  100ms 3.  progressbar1  set progress  n 4. Add code which I had given below 5. //Do whatever you want when progress = 100 6. If  n=101  set  n  to  0  else  n  increase  1   Use this code in asd if (n==0) { persen.setText ("0%"); } if (n==1) { persen.
