MyFonts → use your own custom fonts (a modified version of @Ken's YourFont extension)

[Anke]

The path to the assets for devices with Android < 10 has changed (since the nb187 release) from:
/storage/emulated/0/AppInventor/assets/
to:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/edu.mit.appinventor.aicompanion3/files/AppInventor/assets/

Therefore, the extension no longer worked under Android <10 with Companion.
Here is the update that fixes this problem:
MyFonts.aix (5.8 KB)

Hallo @Anke,
once again, one really awesome extension !!!
You're a Square(Power-User)

Cheers, Ugo.

[Hmmm]

@Anke Can you please make one modified version for me that doesn't adds storage permission requirement in manifest PLEASE /\

[Anke]

@Hmmm

that doesn't adds storage permission

Here is a new version that does not add READ permission to the Manifest.

If you use this version the fonts must be stored in the assets.
MyFonts_3.aix (5.9 KB)

(WRITE permission was never declared before anyway.)

[Hmmm]

Thank you so much you are too good I was thinking that I have to compromise with it but you have done the work for me thanks a lot it really means a lot.

[Hmmm]

Hello this is returning error in companion

[Anke]

@Hmmm

returning error in companion

Which error? Post a screenshot.

[Hmmm]

It isn't even working in companion no error.

[Hmmm]

@Anke It started working after reconnecting companion.

[Anke]

Sometimes you need to delete Companion's assets folder.

[Hmmm]

Ok thanks for the tip next time I will keep in mind.

I tink you have to set the weidth of the label/text box to "fill container"
Here a screen of the interface :

PS IN ITALIAN "RIEMPI CONTENITORE" IS "FILL PARENT/CONTAINER"

Hello, it says "Upload Error" everytime I try to import it as an extension.

• Remove all assets from the Companion app (on your test device)
• reload the browser and
• try again.

How to delete all files from assets with Companion

Here is an app that can be used to remove all files from assets with Companion - regardless of the Android version of the test device. This is sometimes necessary so that it still works (properly), for example after an extension update. deleteAssetsCompanion.aia (800.7 KB) Credit to Sunny - @vknow360 for his FileTools extension! [grafik] Android 9: [grafik] After that, disconnect Companion, reload the browser and reconnect to Companion...

My devices (both phone and laptop) can't seem to access the .aia file. Can I send you a PM? I tried searching for ways online on how I can do it, but I'm lost. I'm a newbie in MIT App Inventor.

@chaeri

Can I send you a PM?

Ok, send me the aia via PM.

guys I have a Question where to download AIX fonts ?

[ChrisWard]

Hello Mohammed

You can use True Type Fonts - however, you can't just rip them off your PC, those are copyrighted. Search the internet for the style of font you require - you should find some that are completely free (perhaps requiring a mention in the credits page of your App). You can simply upload a True Type Font to App Inventor's media tray (assets), just as you would other files such as images.
