Adobe AIR for TV in 2014?

Hello, I've been using Adobe AIR in the latest years to build mobile apps, but I've never used it for TV apps. The info I've seen about AIR for TV is mostly talking about very old versions of AIR (2.5). Is that still supported? What TVs are compatible with Adobe AIR? Is there any testing environment I can install in a PC to test TV apps?
Thank you!

So no one is making TV apps, I guess...?

How to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS

I am trying to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS.
For example, I want to implement the following function. Start a one-minute timer before launching CameraUI to record video. When the timeout event happens after one minute, stop recording video, close the CameraUI view and obtain the video data so far.
I have several questions related to that.
1. How to stop recording video from outside the CameraUI view(in this case, from the timeout event handler) and then close the CemeraUI view? As far as I know, to close the CameraUI view, the only way is to press the [Use Video] button or the [Cancel] button from inside the CameraUI view. Is it possible to close it from outside?
2. Even if the first problem mentioned above is solved, then how can I get the video data so far(in this case, the video data before the timeout). I know that normally we can get a MediaPromise object from MediaEvent parameter of the complete handler, and read the video data from the MediaPromise object. But obviously in this case, we can not access the MediaPromise object just because the complete handler itself will not be executed since the [Use Video] button is not pressed.
3. Is it possible to add a stopwatch to show possible remaining recording time when CameraUI view is open? It seems that the CameraUI automatically uses the full screen of iOS device(in my case, iPad) and there is no extra space to show the stopwatch.
Are there any solutions or workarounds about the three problem above? I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this. Thanks in advance.

You'd have more control by using the Camera object, showing the camera on a video object inside a Sprite, and capturing that. Then you could put whatever graphics alongside it on the stage.. I've used FlashyWrappers in a test to capture the video to the library. It took some work, but the test worked well...

Problems with BBC iPlayer Desktop and Adobe Air for Mac

I would be grateful for anyone who can help me with a problem I have on my Laptop running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3.I am having difficulty running BBC iPlayer Desktop and I suspect it is caused by Adobe Air.
Recently I was prompted to update Adobe Air to the latest version (as of February 2012) and after I successfully updated the program, this began to cause problems when I used BBC iPlayer desktop.
The first problem I noticed was that I was unable to play any downloaded programmes in full screen - only the sound played, not the video.
Secondly, a few weeks after this problem began, all my TV programmes mysteriously disappeared.
My final problem is that everytime I launch BBC iPlayer it is unable to download new programmes - when I am connected to the internet, the application still says it is "offline".
I have tried to resolve the problem by restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling BBC iPlayer, disabling and re-enabling my firewall, connecting to the internet in different locations but this has not resolved the problem.
I tried to uninstall Adobe Air, but the installation package tells me it is 'corrupt'. So I tried to download and reinstall the application from the adobe website, but the computer already recognises that the app is installed. i.e. - I can't uninstall or reinstall Adobe Air.
I contacted BBC iPlayer support and they were unable to help - directing me to your website. I have read several other discussion topics posted on this website but not found the solution I am looking for.
Please can some help me to solve this problem, by helping me uninstall and reinstall Adobe Air for Mac?
I am not very technical minded - for example - I don't know what log files are or how to find them - so please explain it as simply as possible.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Just had the same thing happen AGAIN. Suddenly - a blank iPlayer Desktop which failed to download new programmes. All previous programmes were still in the repository folder. This time the sequence I outlined previously didn't work.
What eventually got things working this time was to reinstall Adobe Air as part of the BBC iPlayer Desktop installation process - and not separately.
So:
a) Move iPlayer to trash.
b) Find and delete the following folder: Users/Yourname/Library/Preferences/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDBBD 723A6DA9D.1
c) Find and delete the following folder:
Users/Yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDB BD723A6DA9D.1
d) Find and delete the following folder:
Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository/cache
e) Find and run: Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Uninstaller
f) Empty the Trash. I found that bits and pieces of BBC iPlayer were still running despite having been quit and dumped in the trash - and so it wouldn't allow me to complete this part. Restarted the computer, then empty the trash.
g) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository and rename it repository2
h) Reinstall iPlayer. It will tell you that you have no programmes to view. Quit the programme.
i) Find and delete the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository
j) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository2 and rename it to repository.
k) Relaunch iPlayer
It would be terribly nice if the BBC or Adobe stopped buggering about with this . . .

Multi Touch not supported in Adobe Air for IOS?

Hi, I've just started developing my first app for my iPhone which is an iPhone 3GS. I'm using CS5 to make these apps.
I did a simple test game where there are two arrows on the screen and a fire button. The screen also has a ground and the player standing on it which can be controlled with left/right and fire. Now, if I press right, he moves right, if I press left, he moves left, if I press fire, he jumps... BUT no matter what I do I can't make dual touch work, ie: I press right AND fire, it only recognize just ONE touch point. So I did alot of researching and didn't find much. I thought maybe adding a TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP which I found a guide on on this page: http://openexhibits.org/support/gestures/1/one-finger-tap , but couldn't make it work, so I found this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/multitouch_gestures.html and it seems Adobe Air for iPhone only allows four different gestures, no TouchEvents. I found a code somewhere that when run it checks to see if the device it's running on supports TOUCH_TAP stuff and in CS5 I got the message that it is not supported, in Adobe Device Central I get it's supported, on the actual phone (yes, got dev license from Apple and all that and can run my apps from CS5 on my iphone) I get it IS supported, but it doesn't work when I try it for real.
So, my question is: how can I make Adobe Air using CS5 to detect 2 finger presses at the same time in iPhone apps? Like pressing right+fire at the same time, so it doesn't just detect ONE of them being pressed.
Thanks a million for any reply.

Before listening for TouchEvents like TOUCH_BEGIN, TOUCH_MOVE, TOUCH_END etc... you need to set the input mode of your device to TOUCH_POINT. By default it is set to GESTURE.
This works fine on the iPAD:
import flash.ui.Multitouch;
import flash.ui.MultitouchInputMode;
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, touchBegin);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, touchMove);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, touchEnd);
private function touchBegin(te:TouchEvent):void {
    // your code here
private function touchMove(te:TouchEvent):void {
    // your code here
private function touchEnd(te:TouchEvent):void {
    // your code here
Hope that helps.

Maximum file size for Adobe air for Androind and iOS compiled apps

Hi All
I am working on a project which has a few videos which I need to bundle into my mobile app for an Ipad app I am creating using Adobe Air for iOS. My question is simple is there a maximum file size limit on apps compiled using Adobe air for iOS? And if so what is it? Any help would be great.
regards Mike

Hi. Im not a 100% sure this is correct. I am able to make a large .IPA file (200+Mb) and it will go onto my iPad 1, but it does not work - Just quicts after a few secs. If I run the same IPA on my iPad 2 it works.
When I take out some of the assets so its a smalelr size then it does run on the iPad.

Partial wakelock in Adobe Air for Android

I'm developing Adobe Air (for Android) application which is intended to be constantly on. App has event based operations. However, when phone enters to sleep mode app is able to perform only one or few events in a second which is not good enough. AIR's SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE -mode is not an alternative since it is too battery consuming.
I'm looking for a solution where phone is allowed to go into sleep mode (screen is off) but still CPU performance is not drastically dropped. Not sure if Android's partial wakelock -mode does the job and is available via ANE?

Well Im a bit puzzled now. I just created a quick AIR app using AIR13 for Android and did a DEACTIVATE test on the NativeApplication.nativeApplication property and used a TextField to "trace" out the frame rate when the app deactivated. The frame rate stayed at 24FPS the entire time. I turned the screen off, let it turn off, went to the home screen, and switched to other apps while the test app was still running. In all cases, the frame rate never dropped to 4FPS as indicated in Adobe's documentation. So it is either something a bug or feature of AIR13+ or it is how Android KitKat handles applications in the background. Im using an unlocked/stock Moto X running Android 4.4.3. The app also appends the getTimer() call to the end so you can see that it does change. Here is a link to the quick app I created: Dropbox - deactivate.apk
I guess if you want to download that and test it out to see how it behaves on your device and let me know the results. What device and OS are you running?
Below is the original message I started to type before I decided to create a quick app to test with. It may or may not still be relevant based on your results from my app test.
If you are looking at just recording information, you could probably setup something on the Android/Java side that gets started when the app "sleeps" using the DEACTIVE event as a trigger to start the ANE side of things. Then when your app "wakes", you could use the ACTIVATE event to trigger a call to the ANE to pull all the data collected in the Java side back to AIR and stop the ANE data capture since the data capture would be back to being handled by AIR.

But then it said "This prodict is not comptable with this version of..."
ANY help?

Hi,
Please download latest AIR3.4 SDK from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html.
Look for the runtime.apk present in the AIRSDK folder \runtimes\air\android\device.
Install the AIR3.4 runtime on android device using command(Refer http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f-5d0f4f25128cc9cd0cb-7ff6.html) -

The above steps will install latest AIR runtime on Android device.
Please note that - Applications created and published from Flash Professional CS6 for Android platforms will run on devices that run Google Android™ 2.2 operating system or higher.

Hi,
Could you please share the device used, OS version, kernel version and the last Adobe AIR installed in your device. Also, is this intermittent or it is failing everytime.

Adobe AIR for android, what is going on ?

Hello!
Few days ago i decided to try develop adobe air for android.
Updated my phone to android 2.2 installed Android SDK , Adobe AIR SDK.
Now there are few tutorials out there how to set up Air ap for android.
They all state that u have to install Runtime_Device_Froyo_***********.apk
You can supposidly download it from adobe pre-release, i cant get in there because they don`t let new members to register ?!?!?!
I searched the entire google for 3h in every possible way to find Adobe Air setup for android, but its like it never existed. There are few disabled rapidshare and megadownload links, it is mentioned in a lot of places but you just cant find it anywhere.
How can i setup Adobe AIR for my Android phone ?

Can you please give directions where can i clear that cash.
Anyway i don`t think its the case, because this is first time i hooked phone to internet, and first time i launched Android app store.
Edit:
I went to https://market.android.com and there is Adobe air app. But when i try to download it says that my device doesn't support it (Samsung Galaxy GT-I5500) By default it comes with android 2.1 and doesn't support Adobe air, but i upgraded firmware to 2.2.
Maybe that is the reason it doesn't show me Adobe AIR in app store - based on my phone, not my Android version ?

Can you play/view swf files on adobe air for android?

Hi, yes; I'm new here, as well as to Adobe Air, and I'm still trying to learn the ropes around here, and I apologize in advance if this has already been asked, or I have placed this question in the wrong forum.
The thing is, I was wondering if it was possible to play my SWF files via adobe air for android; and if so, how? Thanks in advance either way.

Does Adobe AIR for iOS support the Apple Push Notification Service (APNs)?
for more information on APNs see:

It is exactly the same.
Do I need to add the mobileprovision in any step of the resigning process?
Inside the unpacjed ipa, i've fund a Info.plist.
This seems to be the plist file generated from adt.

Does Adobe AIR for Android support C2DM?

Does Adobe AIR for Andoird support the Android Cloud to Device Messaging Framework (C2DM)?
for more information on C2DM see:
http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/index.html

It isn't supported right now. It should be supportable (you will have to write native code) in an upcoming release. Same for iOS/Android notifications.

Adobe Air for Android - caching key event that have "unusual" keycode

I am developing an application for a platform. The OS of this platform is Android Gingerbread (2.3.4) The platform has some buttons with "unusual" key code: 141, 131 etc.
Native application that created in ADT can catch and respond to these keyboard events While my Adobe AIR application (created in Flash professional) are Indifferent to them.
I try both: stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,KeyHandler,false,0,true); NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,KeyHandler,fa lse,0,true);
How can I "catch" this event? Maybe a way to add constant to the keyboard class?
Thanks

If you are deploying for iPhone it is on the 'general' settings(First setting page opened).
Just noticed you are making android app but i still added iphone deployment settings for further future
But if you are using it for flash/android you have to add code into your fla descriptor with XML language(dont worry it is 1 line of code)
Watch the video on this page about GPU rendering:
http://blogs.adobe.com/cantrell/archives/2010/10/gpu-rendering-in-adobe-air-for-android.ht ml
Your app shouldn't lag after these steps but if you have a project that gets bigger and has lots of code it MIGHT lag so that is when external files should help.

Adobe AIR for Mobile Devices?

Hi,
I was just recently asked whether there is a project for developing Adobe AIR for mobile devices?
This would be really exciting as you could develop your own projects for mobile devices as well as desktop computers...
Any ideas?

It is possible. The thing is Apple won't let developers put their AIR apps into Apple's iTunes store.
