Event

A event is a code executed when certain something happens in the app or the user performs an action. It can be when the a button is clicked, when the app opens, or even when the app is closed.

Creating a event​

It's time to create your first ever event! A event contains the code that is executed when a certain event happens inside your app. Remember the button we added last time? We'll give it a use this time. Now well, what should it do? Hmm... How about a simple toast for now?

Button onClick​

Open the Event section. Open the View section inside the event section from the left of the screen.

Events

  1. Click on button1 to edit what it does when clicked.
  2. Click the block icon on bottom right.
  3. Click the last second option on bottom right, Component, written in blue.
  4. Hold the Toast block on the left. Drag and drop it below the already-added When button1 clicked block. It should stick below it.
  5. Click on the white space to edit the message.
  6. Enter anything, such as "Built by Your name!"

onClick event

  1. You're done. Click the back button and go back to the View section.

Conclusion​

I hope you got a idea of what views are in a Sketchware Pro/Android app. Next, we'll try running this app on your android phone.
