I decided to write this blog to show Steemers how easy it is to build your own android mobile app. I can assure you that you do not necessarily need to have any programming knowledge. I even started teaching my little daughter how to write this mobile apps…well because the fun and every thing looks like fitting a puzzle. - - - ## The idea of this mobile app is *SPEAK* the words the user inputs into the text box when the mobile phone is *SHAKEN*. All you need is to have your Google email account…login. Then search for **[MIT App inventor 2]( http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/)** https://picload.org/image/rarpwidl/app.jpg Note the website might request permission to link your email or remember the email, just click. This will be your landing page, well yours the will not be any projects then simply click: https://picload.org/image/rarpwilr/new.jpg 1: *Start new project* 2: Type the name of the project *Steemit_speak* (name it anything you want) 3: Click *Ok* https://picload.org/image/rarpwici/accelerometer.jpg On the left hand side go to Sensor and select Accelerometer and grad to the phone. Since accelerometer is a phone feature/sensor it will not form part of the things displayed on the screen hence it move to the Non-visible components. https://i.stack.imgur.com/BfeAy.jpg Well what is an accelerometer? Ever wondered why when you turn your phone and the screen orientation changes? Well is controlled by the accelerometer…well with the accelerometer you can then do some cool designs like my: [Android phone accelerometer controlled Remote Car]( https://steemit.com/technology/@mokluc/android-phone-accelerometer-controlled-remote-car) In order for the phone to speak the words typed, under *Media* drag and drop *Text-to-speech* feature. https://picload.org/image/rarpwipl/speech.jpg To let the user input their own text, under *User-interface* drag and drop *Textbox* which will now appear on the screen then on its *Properties* I selected *Fill parent* for its *Width*... https://picload.org/image/rarpwpag/speak.jpg Well you may play around with *Properties* and change colors and do your own customized design. I then selected the screen and changed the *Title* to Steemit* and also added a background. https://picload.org/image/rarpwpwl/background.jpg - - - # Coding/Blocks ## Let's get to the fun part, call all your kids and lets program...Select *Blocks* on the top right hand corner. https://picload.org/image/rarpwwrr/clickacc.jpg On the left you will see all the components you added earlier then click accelerometer then select *Accelerometer.Shaking* block and also *Text-to-Speak* speak message: https://picload.org/image/rarpwwrw/speech2.jpg Then lastly select the source of the typed *Text* to be spoken...remember our *Textbox*: https://picload.org/image/rarpwwai/done.jpg # The code in simple english: When *Accelerometer* is *Shaking*, *Do call *Text to speech* to say the *message* from *Textbox*. **WE DONE...**you just wrote a high level Java coding by just fitting in the puzzles...all the coding is behind the scene. You must admit that was fun. - - - # Save the final mobile app Simply save the mobile app your computer as an **APK** file. https://picload.org/image/rarpwwoi/apk.jpg https://picload.org/image/rarpwwia/save.jpg Then upload it into your android mobile phone and install it as unknown source (since is not yet on Google play store). - - - # Shake and Speak https://picload.org/image/rarpwwpc/phone.png ## Simply type any word on the app textbox (I typed Steemit) and just shake the phone to speak the text (make sure the volume is up)....Call the kids...have fun. - - - ### If you need more tutorials let me know and will add more on how to interface with Bluetooth, Wifi, IoT, Home automation and many other cool projects.
