About this app

App Builder allows you to create your own Android apps.
You can publish your apps on Google Play.
Simple things can be done without any coding.
For more complex things the coding is done in JavaScript or Java.
You can also earn money by integrating AdMob ads in your app. Both banner ads and interstitial ads are supported. This can be done with no coding at all.

This is much easier than Android Studio, and it does not require a desktop computer.

Features:
- Full access to the Android API.
- Simple things can be done without coding.
- Coding is done in JavaScript or Java.
- Share the APK file or publish your app on Google Play Store.
- Editor with syntax highlighting (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, JSON, XML) and code folds.
- Standard Android build tools are used.
- You can add the dependencies to include libraries from Maven or other repositories.
- Logcat viewer allows you to see system messages, which are useful for debugging.
- Support for Android App Bundle (AAB) format.
- Firebase integration.
- Version control.

There are over 25 example apps to use as a starting point:
- AdMob: demonstrates the use of banner ads and interstitial ads, and also displays your device ID (which you need to mark your own device as a test device per AdMob policies).
- Audio: shows how to play sound in your app.
- Billing: shows how to use in-app billing.
- Camera: a simple app which shows, among other things, how to request permissions at run-time.
- Chats: a public chats app, a rather complex example.
- Clock Widget: yes, you can create app widgets (the things that you put on your home screen, like clock and weather).
- Dialogs: shows how to use dialogs.
- Editor: a simple editor app.
- Favorite Music: an audio player packaged with a playlist.
- Feedback: send messages from your app back to you, the developer.
- Google Sign In: shows how to integrate Google sign in into your app.
- HTML App: a template for an HTML-based app.
- Image Gallery: an app that packages photos inside the app.
- Java App: shows how to use Java in your app.
- Navigation Drawer: shows how to setup a navigation drawer and corresponding views.
- Push Notifications: shows how to use Firebase push notifications and in-app messaging.
- Reminder: demonstrates how to use the AlarmManager and receivers.
- Take Photo: shows how to take photos and use them in your app.
- Text-to-Speech.
- Threads: demonstrates the use of threads.
- Video: shows how to play a video in your app.
- ViewPager: shows how to setup a ViewPager (a view that displays other views as "pages" which can be traversed by the "swiping" gesture.
- Website App: a template for an app that shows a website in a WebView.
- Website App with AdMob: Same as above, but also shows an AdMob banner and interstitial ads.

One approach to Android app design is to use the existing HTML/CSS/JavaScript code and wrap it as an app. This can easily be done in App Builder. If you just need to wrap a website URL into an app, App Builder will do it for you in minutes without any coding.

App Builder is also a great tool for learning programming in JavaScript and Android app design.

Without subscription, you have access to most features, but your apps will run only on the device they were built.
Subscription allows you to build apps that do not have this restriction. Also, some features of App Builder only available to users with subscription.

There are quite a few apps on Google Play that claim to be an "App Builder" or "App Maker" or "App Creator" etc. They don't actually allow to create anything functional. They merely allow to fill in a template, choose some options, type in some text, add some pictures, and that's it.
App Builder, on the other hand, allows you to do almost anything a native Android app can do. Simple things can be done with no coding at all, but more complex business logic or app feature may require some coding in JavaScript or Java.

Ratings and reviews

Far better than mobeasy or igenapps but it's a but (VERY) basic and technical. It'll do what you want but I think a tutorial is in order. If you don't already know what you're doing, and/or have a grasp on Java you won't know what you're looking at. More than anytime I'd like it to be more user friendly for beginners. I am very glad to see that it's not some basic trash like so many others. Ty for putting actual effort into this. Keep it up, and ramp it up.

This app is in great need of a demo video or something. I understand intermediate level people might be able to figure it out on their own, but the mostly no coding description insinuates the target would be more beginner friendly. It wouldn't be hard for the app maker or someone else to make a short series of 5 minute videos showing how to use the app and what the different labels mean. Would greatly benefit the users and would make the app much more popular I think.

When you want to create an app, it prompts you to signup to a third party site "App Creator 24", just like other such app creators found in Google Playstore! In short, I installed a lot of app creators and they all point to the same website to open an app creating account. So, these apps are nothing but shells pointing to same app creating website "AppCreator 24". Why not go direct to "App Creator 24" than this middleman app ?
