Building Native Mobile App for Android: error message, build fail

Hi,
I'm trying RH10 on a Win 8 x64 system, trying to get the generate for mobile devices, Android to work. I've installed the Android SDK (part of the complete ADT) in a "Development" folder in the C drive, installed JDK for Win 64, added the PhoneGap and ANT unzipped folders to the "Development" folder and then in the RH10 dialog to generate the Android APK, I've pointed set the correct paths to these tools. (All installed tools are correct for my OS, Win 8 x64.)
No matter what I try, using a sample file (EmployeeCare, Salesbuilder), I get an error message at the very end of the build process. Please see the screenshot showing the error message and the relevant part of the log which looks like the ANT path is not working correctly. The build fails every time. I've tried to do some troubleshooting online and for example, came across setting the environment variables for the ANT folder, which I did, but with no success in fixing the problem. The Eclipse installation connects with the JDK and runs OK if I simply boot it up.
My path settings are in a second screenshot below.
(I've tried the ANT path with different values, for example "C:\Development\apache-ant-1.9.0-bin" etc. Doesn't prevent error message and build failure.)
I am not sure what else to do. Any help would be appreciated. At this point, I would be happy to simply be able to build one APK then test it on an Android device.
Thank you for your help.
Kind Regards,
saratogacoach

@saratogacoach
Not much on the forums yet about creating an app but I notice you are using Windows 8 which is not officially supported yet. Can you try on a Windows 7 machine to rule out the OS being the problem?

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!

Air App for Android - error 301: application descriptor missing

Greetings!
I've been building in Flash for a while but am brand new to mobile development. I'm currently trying to create my first Android app, a very basic game called "302 Saves The Galaxy". I don't intend to sell the game. I'm really just trying to learn my way through the publication process for future projects.
I've been able to get to the very last step in creating the apk file and I'm getting this error from the command-line process -
"Error 301: Application descriptor missing/cannot be opened"
Here's a screen shot of the command line window -
Here are a few other details about my process -
In Flash, I selected to publish to Air 2.0 because that's the only option I had (ie, no Air 2.5 option)
I've triple-checked and all spellings seem to be correct in my command-line syntax
I'm sure I'm missing something obvoius here. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Joel

Hi, Pahup!
Thank you SO MUCH for that tip! That solved the problem! Like I said, I knew it must be something pitifully easy that I was overlooking.
Anyway, I really appreciate your taking the time to respond.

Settings for Native Mobile App

I'm using RoboHelp 11 to generate a native mobile app for Android.
In the Generate Native Mobile App dialog box, I've downloaded PhoneGap, Android SDK, JDK, and Apache Ant. I've then used paths that I think would work. Here's a screen shot:
When I attempt to generate the file, I see an error (below).
Can you please recommend the exact path? I've looked at your documentation(Adobe RoboHelp 11 * Generate a native mobile app) and Tom Aldous's YouTube video (How To Create Android App From Your Training and Technical Manuals - YouTube). Does it matter where I download the files? Is RoboHelp 11 just compatible with certain versions of these downloads?

@Robert I am working with someone else who is having problems. I produced some instructions for Rh10 that got things working for myself and others. The difference between 10 and 11 is that 10 required some system variables to be set whereas 11 sets the necessary paths when generating the app. Thus it is likely your problems are related to the various installations. Given where you have located them, it is not possible for me to read them. I put each app (except Java) directly off the C drive.
To the best of my knowledge, the only app that is version specific is PhoneGap which must be 2.9.0 and that is what you have.
First try moving the apps and generating outside your profile. This is my setup from 10 but 11 is the same as far as this part is concerned.
See where that gets you.
@Rick Apps are great for Knowledge Bases. As far as OLH is concerned, there are some usability issues if people don't know how to switch between apps.

The emulator can run out of space for applications - so if you have other applications deployed to the emulator remove them and then try again.

Dreamweaver Mobile Applications: Can't get past "Cloning seed app for Android" window

I'm trying to do a basic Android app using Dreamweaver. I went to Site-->Mobile Applications-->Build and Emulate-->Android. When I do this a window pops up that says Cloning seed app for Android. Unfortunately, I can't get past this. The window continues to act like it is loading, but then it never loads anything. You're supposed to configure the application framework which I did. It's funny because there is an "Easy Install" button. Of course, it doesn't work which means you have to manually try to download and set everything up which is a nightmare that lasts for days. Easy Install button? It's more like a screw you button. All of the tutorials are predicated on the easy install button actually working. Anyways, I downloaded the Java Development Kit (JDK) and the Android software development kit (SDK). Then I got my AVD (Android virtual device) up and running. Then I set up a site and made sure the file was saved as index.html. I also made sure I put in information in application settings. I tried calling Adobe tech support and doing extensive Google research. Adobe told me it wasn't their problem that the "Easy Install" button isn't working. Plus, troubleshooting information on Google for Dreamweaver mobile app development is scarce. It would be great to start developing instead of hassling with the setup. I'm a week into it and I still can't get it to work. I'm using CS5.5 Design Premium.
Lastly, I've done all the updates for dreamweaver that I can do. The only thing I can think of is maybe to try putting the SDK and JDK in the same folder, if that is even possible? Also, I'm using JDK6. Maybe the Android SDK will only run with JDK7? Either way I'm stumped. Any suggestions or help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I've got the same issue.... in visual studio, you set the properties of the object to something like, content and it builds it with the binary.. but flash builder, i'm stumped on how to get the release build wizard to recoginize the additions i've selected in the project properties -> build packaging -> package contents section... :/

Single Edition Native App for Android

Is it possible to create a native app for android (google play store) with DPS single edition? Or is there another way to achieve it?

Hi,
The app will stay available but the content will disappear as you quit subscription after first month and the content is hosted on the Adobe Servers. You have also download fees in addition.
No chance to bypass it.
If I remember well, Aquafadas are the only ones who are having a single payment option for an Android single issue. But they are changing their marketing strategies frequently, so I'm not sure if it's still available.

I need help re-installing itunes. I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support. Any solutions?

I've been trying to upgrade to/install Itunes 10. When trying to do so, I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support.
Per what I saw as a response to someone else who had a similar issue, I thought a fix might be to uninstall my existing Itunes, then try to re-install the Itunes 10. I tried that. However, I still get the same error message. Now, I have no Itunes.
I tried to email Apple, and they have not replied.
Anyone offer any solutions?

me too did you get any help?

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.

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.

ITC.apps.assetvalidation.PURPLE_EXECUTABLE_OUT_OF_ALIGNMENT.error.message
Before one week i have submitted the ios mobile app for review. Yesterday it was showing Metadata Rejected( it suggested me to add privacy policy url).

When i clicked the submit for review button in iTunes Connect, i am getting this error( ITC.apps.assetvalidation.PURPLE_EXECUTABLE_OUT_OF_ALIGNMENT.error.message ).
Please some one help me out to fix this.

hi
I fixed the issue using windows 7(64bit), Flash builder 4.7(64 bit)
Here are the steps i followed
Overlayed the air sdk 15 for flex from here Download Adobe AIR SDK (make sure you downloaded for flex)
copy the id64 folder(<sdk root>/lib/aot/bin/ld64) from https://dh8vjmvwgc27o.cloudfront.net/airsdk_ld64/archive_air_15.0_with_asc2_drm_sdk.zip
overwrite the id64 folder(<your present sdk root>/lib/aot/bin/ld64) by your copied id64 folder.
change the minimum version required to 6.1 in your application xml
This is will surely fix your issue. Follow this link Re: No longer able to submit app to iTunes.

Question about Dreamweaver Native Mobile Apps with PhoneGap

I am trying to determine the best way to build an app for my business. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, but needs a clean UI that is easy to navigate and interfaces with an online database. The PhoneGap intergration with Dreamweaver 5.5 seems really intriguing, but before I spend the $650 to upgrade my creative suite, I had some questions.
Doing some research, I have found multiple references to apps created in this way running slowly. Noticable lapses on button pushes, pages loading slowly, etc. Is this an issue and if it is, is there any way to get around it?
Idealy, I would deploy my app to both Android and iOS devices, how smoothly does that run? I have some basic knowledge of both Java and Objective-C, but using dreamweaver seems to be quite a timesaver.
If anyone has any input or comments about using Dreamweaver to create native mobile apps I would love to get some feedback. Thanks!

PhoneGap builds mobile apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You cannot use a server-side language, such as PHP, with PhoneGap.
Presumably, you want to connect with a MySQL database on a remote server. To do so, you would need to use Ajax to send and receive data from the MySQL database. You can use jQuery to send and receive data as JSON. PHP has JSON functions that decode and encode data as JSON strings.
How difficult or easy you would find setting this up depends on your knowledge of jQuery and PHP. I don't know of any tutorials that show how to pull everything together for PhoneGap, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find tutorials for using jQuery Ajax to communicate with MySQL.

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end.

The file to download the app for Android is not working from my phone--it says that the file isn't there. However it does see the one for the Iphone (even though it can't use it). I've tried it multiple times and continue to get the same message: "NOT FOUND The requested item could not be found". I also tried through the Market application on the phone but ended-up with the same result.
I'm very computer literate and am pretty sure the problem is on your end. If this is the case then no one can download the app. I considered that perhaps because it's still in Beta that it was removed due to some other type of software issue. I would really like to use Firefox on my new Droid (2.0); when with this be available?

Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)
