In this article, we’ll walk you through a quiz app created in Kodular — a powerful no-code platform for building Android apps. This quiz app is fully dynamic, has a built-in timer and progress tracking, and is designed to give users a smooth, interactive experience.
The heart of the app revolves around dynamically loading questions and presenting multiple-choice answers. Here’s a breakdown of how the core system works:
-
Question Loading: Questions are loaded from a data table (like a CSV or Airtable) and presented to the user one at a time.
-
Answer Checking: Each answer button checks if the selected option matches the correct answer from the data source.
-
Score Tracking: Correct answers add points to the user's score.
-
Auto Navigation: Whether the user answers correctly or not, the app moves on to the next question — either by selection or when time runs out.
Each question comes with a 10-second countdown timer to keep the quiz challenging and engaging. Here’s how it works:
-
A Clock2 component is triggered when a new question loads.
-
The timer counts down from 10 to 0, updating the label every second.
-
If the user doesn’t answer within the time limit, the app automatically loads the next question.
This functionality is controlled through global variables and Clock.Timer
events, ensuring a seamless time-based quiz experience.
