A mobile App for lulu would be amazing!

As I now have my phone as my link to everything from banking to research, I think a mobile app for lulu would be amazing in order to track sales, promotion of author spotlights and all the other wonderful stuff lulu.com provides us, the selfpublished authors.

Mobile Flash is no longer being developed (it was discontinued around 2011, IIRC). It never existed on any Apple idevice and buggy versions were installed on Android, but that stopped in August of 2012.
If your Flash files are video, convert them to a more modern standard (MP4, OGV, WEBM) and use the html5 <video> tag.
If they're interactive files, ask yourself "can a mobile user interact with these in any appreciable way?".
Remember, mobile devices don't have mice, all those cool mouse-dependent effects and navigation tricks available in Flash do nothing in the old, buggy mobile Flash environment.
You "can" get an old version of Flash on some Android phones. It's a relatively hacky feeling way to install called "Sideloading" that typical viewers WILL NOT do. You just have to find a version of the Flash .apk that works with your current Flash files, have a phone that allows Sideloading, then convince your viewers that the file you found isn't going to harm their device since it's no longer available through the secure/trusted channels they would normally go to.
A very tall order.

  • Developing mobile apps for the blackberry platform

    Hello all
    I'm interested in developing mobile apps for the Blackberry smartphone and read that the best way to do it is with Java. Any advice on how to do this?
    I would be starting from scratch as I don't have a programming background but am keen to learn. Also can anyone recommend any introductory books that are really good at learning Java?
    Many Thanks
    praetor

    Hi praetor,
    welcome to the SDN.
    Programming for a mobile device is sort of advanced and you need to know the basics first. As you have no programming background this is even more important.
    Do yourself a favor and forget about the blackberry for a few months and learn programming basics first.
    Here are a few links to get you started with the Java SE (Standard Edition, for your local PC, nothing fancy):
    [Sun's basic Java tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/]
    [Sun's New To Java Center|http://java.sun.com/learning/new2java/index.html]
    Includes an overview of what Java is, instructions for setting up Java, an intro to programming (that includes links to the above tutorial or to parts of it), quizzes, a list of resources, and info on certification and courses.

    A general Java resource site. Includes FAQs, forums, courses, more.

    To quote the tagline on their homepage: "a friendly place for Java greenhorns." FAQs, forums (moderated, I believe), sample code, all kinds of goodies for newbies. From what I've heard, they live up to the "friendly" claim.

  • Skype & NFL Mobile Apps for Verizon

    What's the deal with getting these apps approved?  According to VZ, Palm is holding them up from being available.  There has been a lot said and written about the relationship with VZ, but to have the apps available on android and blackberry phones, but not web OS is a huge mistake.  Please tell me that this will change soon.

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    Unfortunately, we have no information on the status of app submissions or approvals.
    As far as I knew, Skype was not even making a webOS app yet, as seen in a 2009 article from US News. I admit that's a bit dated here in the world of webOS, but a quick visit to the Skype download page lists mobile apps for several platforms, but no mention of even a 'coming soon' placeholder for webOS. I didn't stay there for long, but hopefully Skype has a feedback and suggestion page where you could request a webOS version of their mobile application.
    As for the NFL app, again we don't have any information, but if you would like to see a particular app or feature like VZ NFL added, visit our feedback portal at www.palm.com/feedback .
    Life moves fast. Don't miss a thing.

  • Why are there virtually no mobile apps for the Android operating system?

    I am trying to find mobile apps for my android tablet. Why are there virtually no mobile apps for this system?

    Adobe's attitude is not only incredibly insulting and ignorant, it is also short-sighted, particularly considering the top android handsets would actually allow their apps to be more flexible and powerful as they have more RAM at their disposal and the very popular Galaxy Note series would be a perfect device with its integral stylus. This is not acceptable and makes me reconsider staying with my CC subscription. I guess it is time to start looking for adobe alternatives or at the very least demand a discount in our subscription as we are unable to use a large chunk of the subscription portfolio.

  • Flex mobile app for Kindle Fire?  is it possible?

    Hi, I read this in the kindle amazon developer faq, is it possible to develop Flex 4.6 mobile apps for Kindle fire?  even thought it doesn't show up in the
    list of devices?
    any Gotcha's I need to look out for?
    Is Adobe AIR pre-installed on Kindle Fire?
    Yes, developers can publish Adobe AIR 3 applications for the Kindle Fire by packaging them as ‘captive runtime’ applications. However, these captive runtime applications will not support on-device debugging.
    thanks,

  • Why no mobile apps for Photoshop for Android products?

    Why did Adobe only make mobile apps for Apple iPhone and iPad and not android for Photoshop CC and Lightroom?  I have an Android phone and pad and feel this is unjust as I pay for this service in my monthly bill: seems more than unfair and unjust to me. Is anything being done to correct this upside down situation?

    I have that App on my Android.  Unfortunately it doesn’t interact with Photoshop CC 2014 or Lightroom as the one Adobe made for the iPhone and iPad.  I wish it did.  Besides, we ARE paying for the use of an unusable app.  I, personally, feel like Adobe is being prejudice and I don’t like that.
    Sorry I don’t know how to answer this on the forums.  I looked but could not see anything or anyplace I could post.

  • Adobe mobile apps for Android?

    Does anyone know if or when Adobe will develop more mobile apps for Android?
    There are so many mobile touch apps for iOS but only a hand full for Android.

    I love the idea of a discount for Android users ... we are paying the same subscription fees for far less service.  Tweet Adobe...
    @creativecloud U should give Android users a monthly discount until your mobile app collection for @Android matches your iOS collection. :-/
    another tweet:
    @creativecloud my monthly @Android subscription $$ is getting far less service than @appleios subscription $$. horrible @Adobe . horrible.

  • Mobile apps for Android?

    Are the new mobile apps that are currently apple only coming to android? I have an amazing 10 inch galaxy note with an equally good stylus and cannot get these apps on my device??? I was very disappointed when the previous "touch" apps were binned! I think it is unfair that so many things are omitted for all the non-apple users, The hardware on my Note is I think better than any of the available I-pad-stylus set-ups on the market at the moment. And I don't have any decent vector drawing tools to use on it.
    Additionally although I have a CC subscription I am unable to use the available Photoshop app without paying a further £6.99????? What's that all about?
    Apologies for the moaning but I am quite disgruntled, I love Adobe software but this lack of development and recognition for a very prominent I-pad competitor really annoys me!

  • Will there be mobile Apps for windows 8 / 8RT and Android? And if so, when?

    Does anybody know, if there are plans to bring the new mobile Apps to windows 8 and Android tablets?
    I'm very disappointed of Adobe, that they made them only available for ipad users. A samsung galaxy note or a windows 8 tablet would be much more useful for working with them, because of the pen and the higher computing power.
    I won't subscribe to creative cloud, until I can use the mobile Apps on my microsoft surface RT!
    This whole, 'only iOS Apps' thing is sooo annoying...

    That is a very disappointing answer. So I don't know, if I can use my surface for working, until adobe releases the apps. And if they don't, I suffer.
