It is only for making a Component Transparent.
Component - Input your Component.
Value - set your transparent value between 0.1 - 1.0 with f as it is a float value

first i create all the 3 extension in one extension and then extract them to 3 extensions.
the image is from the Navigation when i have created them in one.
Thank you for this extension. You may consider doing more work on the value a developer needs to add. For example set the range of values to 1 - 10, and then inside the extension handle the conversion to 0.1 - 1.0 and add the f ?
have a look at this ??
you can do this in blocky but in java , you will get a error that String cannot be converted to float
Doesn't make sense. Your extension is feeding java a string....?
do you have setup Appinventor sources in your pc ?
if yes, then i will give you my source code then, you can easily try it
in blocky you can join a String with a Integer but in java you can't do that
but you can use String.parseFloat() method to get the float from the string.this extension is also using this method.
You have the toString() method in java as well
but setAlpha() is only use float. and float with f
Hopefully, someone with more java/extension experience than me will be able to advise....
yes, i have also many doubts while creating this extension
Tested your extension.
Actually it accepts 0f (which makes totally transparent). Therefore the range is 0 - 1.
A value less than 0 will work and be equal to 0 (e.g. -0.5f)
A value greater than 1 will work and be equal to 1 (e.g. 1.5f)
Also works with decimals larger than 1, e.g. 0.657f works and is less transparent than 0.6f or 0.65f
This is all useful for very specific levels of transparency, conditional checking, "fuzzy logic" and a looser application of values.
Can I ask the obvious question - why use a text block for input instead of a math block?
why everyone asking me this question ?
