Switching from Kodular to Niotron really complicated!

[zanzaux90]

Hi,
I’ve been using Kodular for a couple of months and wanted to try Niotron, since it allows importing .AIA files and seems more advanced in some ways. However, I’m experiencing a lot of differences and issues.

Spaces need to be recreated from scratch (in Niotron they are called Spacer, while in Kodular they are called Space — not a big deal, but it needs to be fixed).
Card View needs to be recreated completely!
Same goes for Switch, which needs to be redone from scratch.
List View Image and Text component is missing! (On Niotron there is only a simple List View).

Firebase also works differently: on Kodular there is no Firebase Core, because the configurations are directly in Firebase Database. Also, I noticed that on Niotron the Firebase.SendResetPasswordEmail function is missing.

Another big lack on Niotron, in my opinion, is in the Notifier component: the ShowRadioListDialog function is missing, which I use for a rather complex menu and which I currently don’t know how to recreate in Niotron.

I hope that in future updates the transition from other platforms will be simplified, at least for Card View, Space and Switch.

Unfortunately, I currently find it impossible to switch to this platform

May be this post can help you:

I think many people would like to try out their projects on Niotron, but there is simply no direct translation of projects today. Not many people will want to recycle their projects from scratch. Sometimes these projects are not small at all, and even there is a nightmare about one thought - to start over. But apparently, there is no other way since developers cannot create means of porting from one shell to another. Sometimes you have to figure things out yourself When migrating…

Hi thanks, the spaces have been fixed thanks to the tool, for Card view I only had to change “Card_View1 visible to” because it did not accept true or false, I had to reinsert it but nothing serious… the really serious problem for me is the lack of Notifier RadioSelection and Notifier GotTextInputFromDialog where I create a really complex cascade menu.
Thanks again.

We added a compatibility setup for external AIA’s but do not convert each and every component. That would take a lot of time and resources to convert different platform’s project to ours.

You can create custom layouts and use the notifier component to display any UI you like,

Firebase also works differently: on Kodular there is no Firebase Core

We have a newer version of firebase components, we no longer use the AppInventor version. This setup also allows for flexible configuration, use multiple firebase projects in one app, You also don’t need to enter credentials in every firebase component.

Thanks.
