Build Your First App in 10 Minutes

You don't need to know Java, Kotlin, or React Native. With Codular, you can build a complete Android app using just drag-and-drop and AI.

Step 1: Create a Project

  • Go to mobcraft.in and sign up
  • Click "New Project"
  • Give your app a name

Step 2: Use AI to Generate Your App

Open the AI Assistant (chat icon) and describe your app:

"Build a todo list app with add, delete, and mark complete features"

The AI will generate:

  • Multiple screens (Home, Add Task)
  • Components (text, list, buttons, inputs)
  • Variables (todo list array)
  • Flows (add task, delete task, navigate)

Step 3: Customize the Design

  • Click any component to edit its properties
  • Change colors, text, sizes in the right panel
  • Drag new components from the left palette
  • Rearrange the component tree

Step 4: Add Logic with Flows

Switch to the Flows tab to see your app logic:

  • Green nodes = Event triggers (button press)
  • Blue nodes = Navigate between screens
  • Purple nodes = Set/modify variables
  • Red nodes = Show alerts

Connect nodes to create logic chains.

Step 5: Test Your App

Click Preview to test in browser, or use Companion to test on your phone by scanning a QR code.

Step 6: Build & Download

Click Build > Android APK and wait for the build to complete. Download the APK and install it on your phone!

Tips for Beginners

  • Start simple - build a counter app first
  • Use AI to generate the base, then customize
  • Test frequently with Preview
  • Use the flow editor's Info button (i) to learn what each node does
  • Check the Community for templates and inspiration
