You could use DatastoreService.allocateIds()

But why would you want to do this? If its to make the ids look nice then you could just add and remove the string yourself before looking up the key. Probably better to have a date property rather than include it in the key.

First off thanks for your time.

I would like to generate a key that is a concatenation of a string with an datastore generated key. Is there anyway to do that?

I want my keys to be "appname" + datastore generated key or say generate a key that is currentdate + datastore generated key

Any suggestions as to how I should go about this? A simple example would be greatly appreciated.
