Adobe AIR + iFrame + Java

Hello!
I am creating a simple application, that will allow my friends to access a Java-based website through a desktop application. And, I chose to use Adobe AIR, because it's very easy to use and also because I already know HTML, CSS and some Javascript.
I was able to put the website into iFrame, however, when I go to the place where the Java Applet is, it says that I don't have Java installed or I have Java disabled. Even though, I have it installed and it works fine on Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome and Flock browsers.
I use Aptana Studio and the Adobe AIR plug-in and I am on Mac OS X Leopard 1.5.8.
Please tell me how to make this work, thanks!

I believe the only plugins supported in the air implementation of webkit are flash player and acrobat. You can find out more at Air and Webkit extensions.

Adobe Air and Java

Can Adobe Air apps be launched in Java? What I am trying to
do is to create some Adobe Air UI (like dialogs) and include that
into a Java Application?

Yes, in the same way as any native app. You would have to
communicate through some kind of server/client arrangement such as
a socket.

Adobe AIR supports Java 7?

Hey all,
At the time of building Native Extension for Adobe AIR, does it supports Java classes compiled with Java 1.7? If not, then what is the workaround to have classes built with 1.7?

Well, if it doesn't install in "C:\Program Files" but it will install anywhere else, it's a local security issue. It basically means that if you don't have Administration rights on your system, you won't be able to install stuff in your Program Files folder(s). This is not so much an AIR issue as it is a Windows 7 security feature (an annoying one, but still a feature). In that case it would mean Windows 7 is supported, but Windows security is preventing us from installing it there.
If it really doesn't install/work anywhere on your system then it could be an AIR issue. But, since it's working here (Windows 7 Professional), I can't really say.

Hi Everyone,
I'm getting basically the same error. Are there any rules or guidelines that we are suppose follow when writing an app for iOS? Is there a way to know exactly where it is crashing? My apps are not MXML, only actionscript. Also I made sure I have no errors not even warnings in my SWF file, but still no go!
Getting the same error.

Walking the iframe DOM in Adobe AIR

Hi experts,
I'm trying to prog a small app with Flash CS4/AS3/AIR 1.5 and the HTMLLoader
Object. I can't figure out, if its possible with AIR walking the DOM in an IFRAME
with content from a remote URL (without access to the remote URL).
Maybe, so it is possible you can point me to the right direction.
Kai

Hi,
If you instantiate an HTMLLoader object that loads a remote URL, you can access the DOM of that page from flash (AS3) APIs like this:
myhtmlLoader.window.document;
However, if your HTMLLoader loads a local page that has an <IFRAME> pointing to the remote URL, you will only be able to access the DOM of the local page. You CANNOT go from there into the <IFRAME> DOM (via contentWindow.document) because of the cross domain restrictions enforced by WebKit.
Hope this helps,

Can I import a view created in Adobe AIR into my Java Android App

Is it possible to create an Adobe AIR App that I can import into the Java App?
Essentially, at the moment I have an App with a Fragment that plays video through Flash. Since Flash is being deprecated on Android I need an alternative.
I was hoping that I could simply create a fragment in the AIR App and plug that straight into the Java App.
Unfortunately I know nothing about AIR. Hopefully someone could let me know if this is even possible.

I've not used Adobe Muse, so I can't speak to its functionality too much. Theoretically you can import any site into CQ5, but it's not going to be a pleasant "click and go" kind of import. CQ5 is a content management system that has a lot more complexity (and therefore flexibility) in what you can do, where it looks like Muse just creates static websites. In terms of importing fonts/images/etc., CQ5 has the capability. Anything you can do with HTML/CSS/JS, you can do with CQ5.
Is this a one time thing? It seems like the workflow from Adobe Muse to CQ5 just wouldn't be worth the effort. What are you envisioning as a solution?

Calling Java APIs from Adobe AIR Front End

HI ,
I have developed an desktop application entirely in java.
Currently it is console based, but i am planning to have a UI for the same in Adobe Flex.
I wanted to know how do I communicate between the two, ie call methods that are defined in my java classes from AIR and return results to Adobe AIR.
There is no server involved.
I want to keep Adobe AIR as front end and Java as back end which will take care of the business logic .
Thanks and Regards,
Santoshi

The best way is probably to use the NativeProcess APIs available in AIR 2 (now in Beta).
Next, would be to use sockets to communicate between the two processes. In AIR 1.5, it is difficult to guarantee that both processes are running, at least when controlling thins from the AIR side rather than the Java side. In AIR 2, you can start other processes, so this is also easier.
There are some 3rd party tools, like Merapi, that help you pass objects between Java and AIR, too.

Help! Cannot install Adobe Air

I just downloaded the Adobe Air exe(version 1.1) and upon
clicking on it, it doesn't anything. Nothing happens. I am running
Windows XP Pro and have 2BG of ram.
Does air require anything to install it such as flash player
or Java run time? I'm pretty sure I have java installed but not
sure if I've got flash player.
what else can I do?

You can either send the data contained by clicking on the

c:\windows\minidump, usually) and post that.
OK....got the report error thing working. So yes, it is in
fact crashing.
Under error signature it says:
AppName: adobe air installer.exe AppVer: 1.1.0.5790 ModName:
adobe air.dll
ModVer: 1.1.0.5790 Offset: 00101c70
Then when I click the click here link, it get a box
containing the error report content, but I cannot copy the text
because it cannot be highlighted. Is there way I can obtain the
contents of the error another way? Like say, instead of having
windows send the error report to microsoft, I can send it to you?
The minidump folder does not contain anything by the
way.

Error trying to Install Adobe Air on Windows 7

Trying to install Adobe Air on Windows 7. Error: Application descriptor could not be found for this application (301).

AIR isn't an application, but a runtime that other applications use. It's similar to Java. You don't run it directly, it's just something other applications need to have present so they can run. You won't see any reference to it in your Start menu, though it will appear in your Uninstall control panel. The applications that use AIR (like Tweetdeck, BBC iPlayer, etc) will have links in your program list.

Installing Adobe Air

I just downloaded and istalled the Adobe Air but I can't find it anywhere. What happen?
My computer is a Dell Inspiron 546MT, 4GB Vista Home Premium

How did you try to find it? Note that AIR is a runtime (similar in concept to Java).
It doesn't do much by itself -- you need to install some AIR applications for it to be
useful. If you going to develop AIR applications, you will need Flex/Flash Builder, Flash Professional, or the AIR SDK -- which are separate from the AIR runtime.

Adobe AIR and Sencha

Hi,
i'm trying to develop an AIR application using Sencha Touch (sencha.com).
When running the application i'm getting sandbox security exceptions.
I've asked the Sencha guys already, they said to get Sencha working with AIR, some major changes are required.
So there's not much hope that they will fix these issues soon.
Is there any possibility to disable the sandbox security / grant more permissions or something like that?
The application will not be publicly available anyway and i have administrator rights on all machines (so i would be able to configure everything).
I thought there might be some settings in AIR like in Java's "java.policy" file to grant extended permissions to an application?
Best regards

Flash and Java are the two top vectors for malware on any computer. It is imperative that you keep Flash updated to the latest version at all times. As for your concern about problems by updating Air or Flash the prudent thing to do is to create a bootable clone of your working system using a well known cloning app such as Super Duper. Create the bootable clone on a freshly formatted, external hard drive, then boot from that clone, update Flash and Air on that clone to the latest version, then test to see if you have problems with your PoserPro software. If all is well then restart from your normal boot drive and update.
I note that PoserPro is a product of Smith Micro Software, Inc. This company has a very bad reputation regarding OS X compatibility, timely updates, and responses to customer service issues.

Trying to intall Adobe Air on Windows 7 Home Premium

How to run Adobe Air App as Windows Service

I am working on Adobe Air application. Everything about coding and configuration have been good so far but I have some major road blocks down the road:
1. Schedule my application to run at certain time.
2. Run the application in the System Tray like a Daemon app
Does Adobe support for configuring the application to run in System Tray like a Gmail notifier app now? If it does, is it possible for me to have it configure for both Windows and Mac systems?
If anyone has any pointers or tips, please feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance.

Last night I got some time to try out your example from "Working with the dock and the system tray"
It is really impressive to see how easy you can animate the icon on the taskbar, but it doesn't particularly achieve my goal to have a cross-platform taskbar app running.
I tried to work with Java yesterday and got their Taskbar module working on both platforms. It solves the basic issue. But then I realize Java is missing the Webkits Adobe Air is offering. So I need two Apps in order to achieve the goal to re-use my web app on the desktop. Now I am considering to learn more about the extend feature you mentioned to let the Java application works like a remote control for the Air application's instances.
So here are some of my current concerns: is it possible to be able to have input from java app into air application's elements? Does Adobe's intergrated runtime support incorporating Java as part of the app like it does with SWF and javascript? Or is there any bridge I can use to have the two applications communicate with one another?

How would I create an USB Barcode Scanner Listener using Adobe AIR?

I want to create a USB barcode scanner listener that would read in the scanned barcode, and place the barcode in a field in my AIR App even if the program wasn't focused on that particular field in the App. If the client was using the application at the time for something else the scan would be buffered in AIR till requested or the AIR App has been idle for x period of time where upon the field would be brought into focus.
How would I go about this (I'm developing on windows) Was hoping for a USB solution within AIR but not fussy at all if I have to go outside AIR to solve this problem. Java, Flex, ActionScript, Flash, C, C++, C#, VB (currently I've developed the rest of the App using Adobe AIR and JavaScript)
I thought after some research that I could make a Java App (if all else fails) that listens and buffers the input and passes it along using a socket but JUSB doesn't work on Windows properly.
I'm not stuck on any one particular implementation or idea just want to get development underway so... Any ideas? or suggestions would be awesome. I've googled a lot but haven't found any examples or solid suggestions, so any URL pointing to that information would be great too, if you know of a good one, then I'd be able to read up on any suggestion.
Thanks,
Marty

Thanks Joe,
Just for anyone else. I bought a Metologic Scanner - VoyagerCG. I was trying to get it to work using Java USB for a bit with no luck. But if you get this scanner or one like it, it can be configured as a Virtual COM Port. Which is very very easy in Java to set up as a listener and use sockets to transfer the data and listen within AIR.
This PDF has links to drivers and instructions if this is useful to anyone.
