1-5.2 Creative Soundboard App II

Finish Building Your App

Finish building your app. Remember to test your app as you make changes, using AI Companion.

Remember these requirements:

- 3 or more buttons have different images
- matching sounds play when the user presses each of the buttons
- use only Creative Commons-licensed media or your own media
- use conditional statements to make the sound play if stopped or pause if playing
- use only one sound player to play all of the sound files

do not allow the sounds to overlap

Extra: Add an Icon

Change your app's home screen icon to be something unique that reflects your app, rather than the default app inventor logo. If you want, this could be a screenshot of your user interface. This will make your apps look more professional. You can find the place to change the default app icon in the Screen1 properties box.

Test Your App

Start the the MIT AI2 Companion app on your phone or tablet.
In App Inventor, click Connect and then select AI Companion. This will display a 6-letter code both as a QR code and as plain text.
On the device, scan the barcode or type in the 6-letter code and click Connect to App Inventor.
