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,

  • Blackberry Torch 9810 as a modem for Kindle Fire - is it possible?

    Hello,
    I use my BB Torch 9810 with my PCs as a tethered modem when I need to and it works great.  I wondered if anyone knows if I can do the same with my Kindle Fire (Android)?  That'd be awesome if I could get that working.  I already have a micro USB male to female connector, so I can hook the BB directly up to the Kindle.  I just don't know how to get it to work.
    Thanks for any leads on how to try and get this working ...

    Using the BB as a modem requires software on both devices. There is no software for that so I'd say the answer is it's not possible.

  • Datagrid for flex mobile apps

    Hello,
    Since in-built Datagrid component is not optimized to be used in flex mobile apps, what is the best alternative we can go ahead with?
    I have seen some of the posts which says that we can use List. But I'm still unable to find how List can be used. As we would need multiple columns, should we be using multiple Lists for each column?
    Kindly let me know if any of have have got this working and how.
    Appreciate your help..

  • Amazon Appstore Announces In-App Purchasing Service for Kindle Fire and Other Android Devices

    Link to announcement:
    http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1681481&highlight =

    A word of caution:
    the Amazon Appstore checks for Kindle Fire support AFTER it accepts app updates.  So a developer can unknowingly break KF support, and still get app updates accepted into the store!
    Here is an e-mail I just sent to Amazon's KF team:
    FYI, there is a significant loophole in your submission pipeline:
    1) All my apps use Adobe AIR.
    2) For the longest time, they were all compiled with AIR 2.7 so there was no problem.  I got a bunch of downloads, including from Kindle Fire users.
    3) A week ago, I updated most of my apps to AIR 3.1, and broke Kindle Fire support, without my realizing it, because I didn't know that the KF only supports AIR 2.7.  Unfortunately, all the updates with broken KF support were accepted into the store!!!
    4) Now I am getting users complaining that their apps no longer work on Kindle Fire.
    What should have happened: NONE of the updates should have been accepted after it was realized by your review team that they broke Kindle Fire support, while previous versions worked fine on it and KF users downloaded them.  Reviewing KF support separately, after the initial review/acceptance, is not a good process!
    In any case, I have re-submitted all my apps with the release note 'Restored Kindle Fire support'.  What I did was use 'captive runtime' for compiling all my AIR 3.1 apps, which normally means that the app will not require an external AIR runtime to function.  Hopefully, this will work this time.  If not, I am going to have to re-compile everything using AIR 2.7, which is a major drag since some of the features I depended on are part of AIR 3.1.

  • Flex mobile app - which data grid control to use?

    Hi,
    Trying to build my first Flex mobile app in FlashBuilder 4.6 and I need a grid control to display a 2 dimmensional array of 6 columns x 50 rows.
    The user doesn't don't need to have any interraction with the grid except for scrolling the rows.
    I was looking at using dataGrid component but adobe doesn't recommend it for mobile apps.
    Is there a grid component that is recommended for mobile apps?
    Thanks

    Here it is.

        dataArray[0] = values;
        grid.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection(dataArray);
    // Build array and feed it to the grid - 50 rows x 9 columns dataGrid (grid)
    protected function FillGrid():void
    var rows:int = 50;
    var columns:int = 9;
    // rows array
    const dataArray:Array = new Array(rows);
    // Get rows
    for(var row:int=0; row<rows; row++)
      const arrLine:Array = [columns+1];
      arrLine[0] = row+1;
      for(var col:int=1; col<columns+1; col++)
       // columns array
       arrLine[col] = Math.floor(Math.random()*10);
      dataArray[row] = arrLine;
    // At this point the multi dimensional array is assembled, now we connect it to the dataGrid
    grid.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection(dataArray);

  • How to remove Button from Flex Mobile app actionbar with AS3?

    How exactly would i remove a Button from the actionBar "actionContent" in a flex mobile app?
    I tried these:
        this.stage.removeChild(menu_btn);
        this.removeChild(menu_btn);
        stage.removeChild(menu_btn);
        this.stage.removeElement(menu_btn);
        this.removeElement(menu_btn);
        stage.removeElement(menu_btn);
    I'm not having any luck with those. Im guessing where it is located in the actioncontent isn't considered the stage. Any ideas?
        <s:actionContent>
                            <s:CalloutButton id="menu_btn" icon="@Embed('assets/images/menu/menu_btn.png')" visible="false">
                                      <s:VGroup>
                                      <s:Button id="btn_one" label="Button" />
                                      </s:VGroup>
                            </s:CalloutButton>
                  </s:actionContent>
    The actionContent is setup like that, I know like with most mxml stuff I could give it an ID to reference it but im not sure how how to give the action content an id number `<s:actionContent id="testID">` does not work. So how can i access this to remove it? making it invisible isn't cutting it i need to actually remove it.

    Does this do what you are looking for?
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  • I have PSTouch v1.3. How to get v1.4 for Kindle Fire HD?

    Hi, I bought PSTouch for my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab, went through some of the tutorials, and went to Adobe Headquarters in San Francico when they gave a very good demo on it.
       So, I've paid the $9.95 and have enjoyed it.  (It seems to behave differently now that my Samsung 10.1 Tab was upgraded from Honeycomb to Ice Cream Sandwich but that's a side issue.) 
    BUT, the main thing -- I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" and my 8.9" version is coming next week. 
    Google Play tells me that the PS Touch app (they are on v1.3 and the KFire version is v1.4)  is compatible with my Samsung 10.1 and is already installed. 
      Amazon says its v1.4 version is compatible with my Kindle Fire HD 7" and my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab (and I've paid for the latter).
    The Google Play site will not recognize Amazon Kindle Fires of any type.   Therefore, the only way for me to get this latest v1.4 for Kindle Fire HD at Amazon is to pay Amazon *another* $9.95 to be able to download this v1.4 update.
       Is there ANY way that you know of that I can just get the v1.4 update for my Kindle Fire without paying a 2nd time for PS Touch?  Thanks. 

    Hello. I felt the same frustration a couple of weeks ago- after downloading what was supp.-to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. So I opted for FF 3.6 at, at least until I could decipher FF4 - which I still have not! As I recall, I simply Googled : Firefox 3.6 or Firefox 3.6 version downloads and a link for that version was listed.

    which version of flash player do I need for kindle fire?

    Adobe stopped ALL development of Flash for Android last year.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html there are older versions of Flash Player (for Android) at that link, but there are no guarantees any of them will work.
    Check Android forums for alternatives.

    I'm not an Android user (no tablet or phone) so I can't make any endorsements that would hold any credibility, but most of the Flash solutions I've read point to Dolphin as the best alternative.

  • Flex Mobile App eats memory on device

    Hi,
    I have my flex mobile app that manages a lot of bitmapdata objects. Every bitmapdata is disposed after use. It's a multi-layer drawing app, and I have many SpriteVisualElements displayed on the screen. Every SpriteVisualElement contains 4 SpriteVisualElement that I use to paint different images. The problem is that on device (iPad2) the app eats a lot of RAM. It's not a memory leak problem (the memory is properly released when I return to the first view). I don't know what to do... please help me!
    ps: on Flex profiler the app seems to consume 6 times less RAM

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.
