I want to develop a very basic app... all the free basic app builders don't have the ability to have buttons programmed to convert, for example feet to meters. The only place I've found that can do this, is here! However, this level of complexity is doing my head in, for the time being. Would anybody be so kind as to explain how I build a screen with a button on it, that onClick() takes value from number1 *0.32804 to text2. Arch!!! I've watched the 3 videos, and have downloaded the SDK, but I'm having a massive mental block. :-/

pretty easy.i have a plugin i made that asks user for length and width and when you press the button it shows the area in a text field.you could tweak the calculations and strings to match your needs.i thought about creating calculations screen plugins but didnt know if anyone would really use them.i do have a rpn calc plugin for ios and have the android version made already but adding a little more control panel stuff for customization, before I re-release it(is that a real word lol).

Thanks CMCOFFEE... you're right, it is a relatively straight forward app to create, but I'm really struggling with this site/SDK etc. Is your plugin free? This is what I'm trying to do... (email sent) Would you like to do this together? There isn't anything like this in the PlayStore.. I was wanting to sell it for a few $$... how about we go halves? My idea, and your code. I can even do the prettying up later if that helps. I've probably spent 8 hours trying to find a way I can do this very quick and simple app for free... :-/

If anybody would like to help me (for free!) it would only take a couple of hours... I'm happy to share the sales with you. My head is about to explode and I fear I may spontaneously combust.

yea its free.i havent put it up because it was something someone else wanted but in my calc plugin.ill throw it up real quick.honestly there is others that have that feature plus more features, in the play store,amazon store,nook store,etc. Not to discourage but it might take way more than a simple app to make big bucks,but hey you never know, you could make alot.I wouldnt want to split money. You can have it all, just refer others to this site. by the way what are you having trouble with understanding on this site ?

No, its converting show jumping distances... canter strides to meters, and canter strides to feet. That's not up there. :-) Also a horse's height to cm from the old measurement. :-)

PS - where do I find your plugin? I'm struggling.

oh ok I see that cool.I never even put it in a plugin package yet. Ill do it real quick

don't worry, I'm giving up. It's too hard. I know the formula, and programming, but I can't work out how to use this site. :-(

I've just put my Excel document on my phone... the one I emailed you. :-/

Oh, go on then - please add your module, thanks. I'll give it a try. :-) Thanks. As per previous post, which I edited... I have had no income for 4 years due to injury (show jumping) and I'm hoping to sell this app for some income. I have to persevere. :-/

Yea ill probably take it down after tonight because I dont like adding things without adding extra control panel functionality.I threw this up mainly to help you and others. Oh and you just joined. You need to take the buzztouch learning path and other learning paths to understand this site.Go to your account and click on "buzztouch U".

Thanks, been through that twice. Thanks for putting up the code.

anytime.anytime you need help on something just post on the forum again.good luck!anxious to see your cool app!

CMCoffee's solution is best, but a simple way to get a calcular in an app is to make it in JavaScript and put it in a customURL plugin.

Susan your idea could work just as good as mine.Just thought of it,I think you could even add the javascript file as an local file too using custom url or webview I guess, and make it load up without the need of internet.worth a shot

My apps all have to be in iOS and Android, so it is a good way to make a calculator look good. I think making the CSS look good across sizes in a Javascript calculator is a lot easier than making Android xmls look nice.

Nice I never thought of that, that would be a better way.xml layouts are a pain

Oh, boy! :-( I thought this was simple, but I can't do it. Thanks all for your comments. :-(
