The concept of Open Data is referred to those data sets that are available to the public and can be reused and returned to publish without restriction.

In this regard, the government makes ​​available to everyone a lot of data for those who want to use them. An example of this is the publication and updating daily on the chemists on duty making by the Government of Navarra (http://www.gobiernoabierto.navarra.es/es/open-data/datos/farmacias-guard).

There are different file formats available. The easiest way to deal with App Inventor is CSV (Comma Separated Values), where each line is a record and the fields are separated by commas and quotation marks in case of the content of a field is a comma.

To access this file from App Inventor you must use the Web component where you have to say which is the URL, and then make a call to Get. Then we must tell what we need to do When GotText Web (Web component).

CSV provided by the Government of Navarre does not follow the standard strictly: the fields are not in quotation marks, semicolons are separators. So you must remove from this file first comma that it may have (eg addresses) and then replace the semicolons with commas (look under the category text what function you can use to do so).

You must to design app where, from a population of Navarra, tells you what chemists are on duty at the time of the query, and chooses one, showing the position on a Google map. To find the date of your mobile device use the component Clock and see how you can use Now property.

Once you have verified the correct functioning of the app, please send the file named chemist_surname.apk and  chemist_surname.aia to your teacher.

NOTE: Save the files you have created on your personal Drive.
