My First 2 Android Apps (maybe)

So, I am going to create my VERY first 2 Android apps. If you want to see anything that I post about Android, go into the side menu, click on the "Labels" section, then "android". And, if you want to make YOUR very own Android apps, go to https://developer.android.com/studio, then download Android Studio. (Note: You can not download Android Studio to an iPad, not even an Android device.) And, you do not need anything Android. They have an Android Emulator! I do not have Android Studio downloaded at the time I posted this blog post, but I will have it downloaded and installed when I publish the blog post called "My First Android App". And, if you need help installing Android Studio (you may not be able to on a school computer), go online to the "User Guide" section of the Android Studio/Developers website. The version of Android Studio when I posted this is 4.0, but it is not going to be 4.0 forever, and comment below if you have an app you want to share, but share the Android Studio file, not the APK file for installing the app. (I do not want to put my Chromebook into developer mode.) Please be patient if you are downloading Android Studio, or an update. It is not 200 and something megabytes, it can get as big as 871 megabytes, depending on what device you are using. But if you want to know why, download it and look at all those features. You can code in Kotlin, Java, C, and C++ according to the official website. If you don't think that is true, look at this screenshot.
So, Android Studio and any other program for developers focus on text coding, not block coding. And, the third blog post today is going to focus on how to make an app, with help from Android Studio. Goodbye until then! If you need help making your app, you can check Android Developers anytime.

IFTTT: Connect Gmail to Google Calendar, Alexa to Blogger, and even Google Calendar to Contacts!

  Now, you may want to connect your devices to each other. Like your smart home to your email to get an email when it is turned on and off! So, before you build a new app, there is already an app for what you want to do. That app is called IFTTT! So, to get started, go to IFTTT and create an account. And then, create a new applet! Now, select what you want to trigger your applet. You could use an Alexa command, sending an email, or even creating a new Google Contact! Now, you need to choose what happens. You could send a notification to your iPad or Fire Tablet, create a new Google Contact, or even create a Google Calendar event! This is the example I will do. Now, before you can use some services (like Alexa and Contacts), you need to link your account. Just log in and allow IFTTT to access your account! After you are done choosing your options, click on Continue. You can receive notifications when it runs. After that, click on Finish. Your applet is now ready! Now, there are 2 kinds

What is the Wayback Machine?

Have you ever seen this on your computer? That is the Wayback Machine! Here's a example of using it: Your teacher asks you to get the oldest version of the PBS Kids website. But you don't know how! So, you type in https://pbskids.org into the first text box, go to it from October 13, 1999, and there! Slideshow below: (P.S. I can't get to it from then) Now, where is the Wayback Machine? It's at web.archive.org !
