SCRATCH PROJECT TO ANDROID APP IN 10 EASY STEPS!

-SuperScratch-

So yes its possible. One thing I want to point out is that the app is pretty much a webpage in a browser added to your home page therefore THE APP YOU WILL GET IS NOT AN APK
Anyhow
This is how you do it!
1. Add touch controlls to your project (To make it work properly on android)
2. Open it in phosphorus.github.io
3. Pacage it in phosphorus.github.io
4. Copy the URL
5. Instal an app called hermit from the play store
6. Press the +
7. Paste the URL in.
8. Open it
9. Set up the app (Change the colours customize ect) If you want you can turn on full screen to make it seamless
10. Enjoy!
Note: Updates on the scratch project WILL affect the app.

Rember to share screen shots of your projects here!

(Note screen shot was not in fullscreen mode, full screen mode will hide the bar at the top)

Is there an APK that you can glean from it? Otherwise I'd use WebView for this sort of thing.

No you can't get an apk you get a tile on your app Thin get.

I have a slightly better method here that allows you to put it on app stores.

I have seen it. This requires less things. Without github and all the other accounts. Plus you can do almost all of this on a mobile device

True. My method is a lot harder…

However, it allows you to make an app instead of just playing a scratch project on a mobile device.

Well I guess they both work.

I've been looking for a post like this for a long time. How do you add touch controls to a project?

Well one way is to have buttons on screen to work as the way to control instead of using a keyboard (mobile devices don't have keyboards)

Okay, that makes sense. When you make an app, will there still be the green flag at the beginning and in the top right-hand corner?

Yay! That will make the game more professional. I'm going to have to try turning one of my games into an app.

You know, you should probably turn this into a tutorial project with pictures. Kind of like this project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/116055504/
