Going from App Inventor to Code

[frenzy757]

Hey guys,

i was wondering if you use the APP inventor but then would want to get into some more serious coding if there was a way to get to the source code instead of using the app inventor GUI for everything?

Maybe I haven't delved into it much I just got my invite and want to try this out. However, I know some programming languages so I'd like to use both if that is possible?

I think that it is not possible to go between the two.

So once you use the App inventor there is no way to go back to traditional coding to develop that app?

anyone know for sure?

Id love to use the app inventor for the design but use traditional coding to do functionality....anyone know if I can go between them?

I am a turbo n00b, but just did one tutorial and created my first app today..

I though I saw a button for compile source, or get source code...

It is not possible to go between the two. App Inventor apps are not regular source. They are Dalvik Byte Code.

THere is a way to decompile byte code...too bad i forgot how to do so.

Smali isnt a bad way to start, though.
