FamousWhy Editor:
AppInventor Toggle is a simple utility application that allows one click enabling of the two features needed to work with Google's AppInventor.

With one button, the app disables orientation sensing and with the other button it enables "stay awake" on USB/AC power. The application also features custom settings of these two states. Updates are accompanied by Toast notifications.
When started, the application reads the current state of the system settings and displays the interface accordingly.

The user can choose between four possible options: a button and three check boxes. The button is used to flip between two states: AppInventor Mode ON/OFF. When AppInventor Mode is engaged, orientation sensing is disabled and stay awake is enabled so that users developing on their machine and phone do not have to constantly refresh/unlock the screen to view changes.

Also, the application can be customized to support custom states based on the user's preferences by checking/ unchecking any settings they want. Each change immediately updates the global settings and Toast notifications provide confirmation of these actions.

AppInventor Mode can be easily tested by tilting the device and ensuring that the interface does not rotate into landscape mode. When disabled and the same test is repeated, the interface rotates with the device. Further, the device stays awake if it is plugged in preventing the screen from 'sleeping'. The screenshots display the application and a 1x1 cell widget placed on the home-screen for instant access to toggle the AppInventor mode

AppInventor can detect when a cable is connected and react to that event. Users can choose in what cases the device will stay awake; there are three options available:

- when connecting only the AC power cable;
- when connecting only the USB cable;
- when connecting both AC/USB cables.
Adding the widget to the home screen is easy:

1. Tap and hold an empty space on your device to bring up the "Add to Home screen" window popup.

2. Select Widgets by tapping or clicking on it.

3. Look for "AppInventor Toggle" in the list and select it.

Requirements: Android 1.6 or later
