Actionscript 3 :: Adobe AIR 3 Native Extensions - Android Res Folder Not Included In The .ane File?
Nov 9, 2011
I am trying to develop an android extension for air, but I have a problem with resources.According to this : Official adobe doc - FREContext and this Extending AIR by Oliver Goldman We simply have to add the resources we need in the res file of the Native part, then they are added inside the .ane file and passed to the final apk. In order to access them though we have to use getResourceId( "drawable.background_image" ) instead of R.drawable.background_image
But when I generate my extension, the res file is actually not even included anywhere inside the .ane file and also not inside the final apk. And I have found not a single extension on the net using resources (not even in the adobe samples)For this test I simply use the basic Hello world Vibrate test, but I added a new png in the drawable folder.As you can see while unziping the .ane file, then going to META-INF/ANE/Android-ARM the res file is absent.As a result, the program crashes when I try to access my resource FREContext.getResourceId("drawable.ppy_accessory_manage.png")
PS, here is my batch to compile the ANE :
set adt_directory=C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash Builder 4.6sdks4.6.0in
set root_directory=C:UsershugoAdobe Flash Builder 4.6
set library_directory=%root_directory%HelloANELibrary
currently I am coding a android mobile app in Flex with the Flash Builder. I am tring to get the Voice Recognition of the Android Platform working but it seems to be complicated. I managed to write a Native Extension that at least displays the Android style voice recognition that asks for speech input. I found out that for the android system the speech input dialog represents an activity where you can wait for the activity's response and overwrite the onActivityResult function. And there is the problem. Since I have to call the Activity "Voice Recognition" in the FREContext the response of the Voice Recognition Activity gets lost.
I am writing an extension that will allow a Flex application to access Android's native image picker. I am able to launch the image picker activity without issue, but after it returns to the caller, which is an FREFunction object, onActivityResult is not called. Because of this, I am unable to figure out what image the user has chosen.
When I use the exact same contents of the FREFunction in a native Android app, The app works fine, and I am able to retrieve the URI of the chosen image in onActivityResult. How can I get onActivityResult to fire, or at least retrieve the information returned by the image picker activity?
I'm totally new to developing apps for android and am just getting started in flash CS5. According to most tutorials that I can find on the web I need to install an extension from adobe.
see this tutorial Creative Sweet TV - Publish to Android 2.2 from Adobe Flash CS5 | Adobe TV However, when I go to adobe's site they say that the extension isn't available anymore and will be integrated with their new version of Flash Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Extension for Adobe AIR 2.5 - Adobe Labs
I just bought a new Mac to run CS5 and can't believe that now it looks like I'll have to upgrade my software, at more expense, in order to do something that was possible only a short time ago
I'm working on an Adobe Air Desktop App ATM. My question is how to get the icon for a given file extension, but without actually loading up a file of such type.
I had the idea to just create a blank file for the extension and then delete it once i have the bitmap for its icon, but that seemed like too much trouble and kinda inefficient.
So for example i want to get the icon associated with a .txt file, or .html file. Is their any way of doing such without having to directly reference and existing file , or create a temporary one as mentioned above?
When I try to publish an Air app out of CS5.5 I've started to get this message:It happens with a blank document. I'm using Air 2.5 & 2.6 on SnowLeopard
i dont know why i cant figure this out. android market now has adobe Air, and developer beta testing sign up is closed. I assumed at this point you would be able to upgrade or buy the extentions or plugins for flash cs5 for air for android?I didnt sign up for the beta testing pre release. Is it still in beta or something? how would i get the plug ins for flash cs5?
I am looking for utility/helper classes for Adobe AIR/actionscript 3.0 file system and native process utilization. Could someone point me to opensource library projects specific to Adobe AIR..
I have developed a small adobe flash application (a parent .exe file which loads several child swf files). I can play it in almost any computer. My question is: Can I install and run the application in Aakash or Ubislate 7+ ?
I can't find this information online or in the documentation, does anyone know what versions of Android and iOS the AIR 3.0 captive runtime is compatible with? I'm assuming there is some restriction there, but short of actually compiling a program and trying it on iPhone for example, which I don't have, how can I tell which OS versions are supported?
I know that you can compile an Adobe AIR 2.7(?) application to target say Android 2.2, but what about the captive runtime with AIR 3.0? Also I don't see anywhere to find out the iOS version restriction with AIR, as you have to pay $100 to Apple to even get the SDK which would allow me to make an iOS project in the first place.
I gone thorough the adobe flash builder video tutorials and did the same thing to create an application for android device, but when i run the application it is showing Sorry dialog box saying that, The application Test1-debug(process air.Test1.debug) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I tried many times but it is not working. Initially i thought no Adobe-AIR in my device, but it is there. I am using Reliance 3G Tab. I don't why it is not working, if anybody know this please reply me.
One more thing, i downloaded one APK (which is designed with adobe flash or flex) file from [URL]..and installed on my android device. When i run that application only blank screen is appearing, but in video they shown, it is working. Why it is happening like this?? Is any problem with my tablet ?? or application ?? or adobe AIR not installed properly on device ?? Like this i am getting too many doubts.
I want to use Adobe Flash in the development of Android applications. But how do I install flash on the emulator so that I can test my software with flash?
I am developing application with Adobe Flex on AIR platform. Using native extension for Android, it is possible to send SMS from my Flex application. Would it also be possible to receive SMS with my application (receive Broadcast carrying information about incoming SMS)? More generally, is it possible to receive Android Broadcasts in my Flex application?
So I'm having this issue where I need an event to fire at the very beginning of my application
public function Main() { this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onInit); }
I've also tried Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, but both seem to not be firing onInit at the right time... they fire too early. For example, on testing for IPhone it's firing when I still see the Default.png icon... I want it to fire when that "loading" phase is over.
I'm using a WebView to display a web page which contains some Flash content which basically works pretty well. The big problem is, that the Flash content seems not to consider the WebView's boundings: The Flash content is displayed even if the WebView is too small to show the complete page and the Flash content is not inside the WebView's boundings. Moreover this Flash content overlays other (native) layout elements that are displayed next to the WebView.To me, it seems, that the Flash content is rendered in (special) z-Layer, that overlays all other layout elements.
Tested with: Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1.Is this a known bug in Adobes Flash player 10.1?
Recently I came across a long and details blog post or tutorial about creating a music player for air on android, but the audio management was with a native extension.I didn't bookmark it, I have searched quite a bit and I just cant find it again!!!It was only 2 or 3 weeks ago.
I'm trying to add some menuItems to an AIR app application menu in the mac, I know that is possible to add to the standard one the application have instead of replace the whole menu, but I can't found any example on adding not replacing the whole the menu.
I recently came to know about the adobe flash builder with flex in latest release it supports to achieve the benefits of flash for iOS apps.As i am looking for a calendar based app,before taking the Adobe flash builder as a solution, i would like to be clear on the following queries.
What limitation is there of the ipa file generated from FB 4.5 as opposed to a core COCOA touch based solution What are the performance differences between the FlashBuilder app and natively built iPhone app. Is there any limitation of building a HTML5 based app given the calendar functionality apart from look and Feel.
i have an adobe air app that captures screen and saves image on desktop. The App works fine on windows 7 but it just does not work on windowsXp. The App use native windows exe that was built in C# using Visual Studio 2010. Its video tutorial and code is given at [URL]...
The app just does not work on windows and gives no compile time or runtime time error and offcourse it does not save image on desktop.
I'm using Filereference.save() to save a jpg file. It'sbasically working fine, but is there anyway to force a fileextension on the saved file? I'm using "untitled.jpg" as thedefault filename, but if the user changes it to say "myfile", itgets saved as "myfile", rather than "myfile.jpg".
I would like to be able to operate a scanner from my AIR application. Since there's no support for this natively, I'm trying to use the NativeProcess class to start a jar file that can run the scanner. The Java code is using the JTwain library to operate the scanner. The Java application runs fine by itself, and the AIR application can start and communicate with the Java application. The problem seems to be that any time I attempt to use a function from JTwain (which relies on the JTwain.dll), the application dies IF AIR STARTED IT.[code]
If I declare a window this way, and then call this.open(false);, the window will quickly open and then hide, and then be reshown when I actually display it, I want to do this to be able to load content and fit the window to that size before showing it.
I'm using Filereference.save() to save a XML file. It's working fine with default filename.But is there a way to force a file extension on the saved file? I'm using "untitled.xml" as the default filename, but if the user changes it to say "myfile", it gets saved as "myfile", rather than "myfile.xml".
i have situation in which i have some library projects, say
"DataProcessors","Lib2"
, included in my lets say "MainProject" (a web project) placed on directory
"E:in-debugMainProject.swf"
, when i build the project it automatically place all the libs .swf in its "E:in-debug" folder, but when i debug or run the project it it gives loading error that
