About this app

FLX - Visual Programming is an application for developing and running small applications or scripts, called applets, on your Android mobile phone. Applets are developed using an easy-to-use visual programming language which is inspired by Kotlin.

The application is extremely versatile, flexible, and extensible. Users can quickly develop applets that can:

- Have a widget based UI screens defined using FLX’s visual programming language
- Make HTTP requests to web APIs
- Trigger IFTTT services via IFTTT Web Hooks
- Use MQTT Client API to communicate with a MQTT broker: https://floxp.app/2021/02/22/flx-and-mqtt/
- Read and write files
- Create, manipulate, and consume JSON data
- Utilise a set of Android platform and device APIs
- Use Android sensors
- Use image, icon, and audio resources
- Define arbitrary logic using extensive set of built-in functions including functions for string manipulation, arithmetic computations, control flows, collection manipulation, etc.
- Use Java classes and methods via Reflection API
- Use markup text in UI (Markwon library)
- Define new reusable functions which extent the FLX language by using:
-- the visual FLX language,
-- FLX Lisp expressions,
-- Java code via Reflection API, or
-- BeanShell scripts
- And much more …

New projects can be created from scratch, from built-in templates, or from exported projects. Developed projects and code libraries can be easily exported, imported, and shared, for instance, via email.

FLX provides an extensive set of built-in functions and components, but users are encouraged to request new functions and APIs to be included into future versions.

The visual code editor of FLX has many advanced and easy to use editing features for developing applets. The web site for FLX app (https://floxp.app) provides useful tips for using the app.

More information about the FLX app, such as the User Guide, tips, Q&A, and block are available at FLX app's website https://floxp.app/

Ratings and reviews

Super-cool little app! It seems like the dev put a lot of love and care into it, and polished it into a pretty nice little mobile IDE~ It's cool because you can access a lot of advanced things significantly easier than with Tasker, and aren't constrained to the CLI like you are with Termux. It seems like the kind of thing you could use in a pinch to make some really cool stuff on the go! Plus, anything that uses lisp under the hood is just an extra bit of cool Def worth a try if you're curious

Nice for testing ideas. I wish it had an itemized list of all forms and options within the app. I'm offline most of the time, so not being able to access the guide makes it pretty useless for me.

Seems like a cool program, but it doesn't seem particularly intuitive (at least not for me). Then again I've mostly used Automate. Hope it continues to see updates

What's new

- Project export & import is now based on Android's Storage Access Framework
- Bug amd security fixes
