Adobe AIR - Performance and Android O.S Features

Hello everybody,
I am a new comer on the Mobile Development world but I'm a very experient Flex Developer. I'll be diving on the mobile world on the next few days and I have some concerns that I would like like to bring up on this discussion.
As a Flex developer I have no doubt that migrating my knowledges to the AIR Mobile will be much more smooth than if I try to go into the Android OS or iOS, although it's great and exciting as well. Also, the possibilty to have the same code working on several platforms such as iOS, Android and Blackberry is something really amazing and that makes me really love the AIR Platform. However according with my thoughts (hope I'm wrong), I believe it also has some drawbacks that I would like hear in further from you guys who are the real specialists.
1. Performance: No doubt that Adobe AIR has been improving performance and sensitiveness in each new version launched and honestly the new version 2.6 seemed me very smooth and sleek. However, how much is it performatic comparing to the native Android code. 20% less fast, 40%? How much is that? How it behaves in a application which performance is an issue such as a game application for instance?
2. API features: Android is an OS in constant evolution and that changes very offen. How adobe is planning to keep developers updated with the last features and functionality of the Android OS and which features are currently supported? What is the percentage in compatibility? What is not covered?
Please share your experience.
I really would love to hear from the Adobe Engineers
Thank you in advance for your time!

If you have a android you can download "tour de Flex" here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=air.adobe.flex.TourDeMobileFlex
And if you are interrest about Molehill on Mobile, juste go and see the video here:
http://www.bytearray.org/?p=3053
My opinion, the part that are not sufficiently advanced, is the Camera about Recording and play Video effectively without use UICamera.
PS: You can record and play sound with your mic.

    How to get the data from mysql database which is being accessed by a PHP application and process the data locally in adobe air application and finally commit the changes back in to mysql database through the PHP application.

    If the data is on a remote server (for example, PHP running on a web server, talking to a MySQL server) then you do this in an AIR application the same way you would do it with any Flex application (or ajax application, if you're building your AIR app in HTML/JS).
    That's a broad answer, but in fact there are lots of ways to communicate between Flex and PHP. The most common and best in most cases is to use AMFPHP (http://amfphp.org/) or the new ZEND AMF support in the Zend Framework.
    This page is a good starting point for learning about Flex and PHP communication:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_php.html
    Also, in Flash Builder 4 they've added a lot of remote-data-connection functionality, including a lot that's designed for PHP. Take a look at the Flash Builder 4 public beta for more on that: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder4/

  • Adobe AIR installation and testing

    Hi,
    Can anyone say why Adobe AIR does not function correctly in
    my PC
    (Vista Home Premium). When I try to run a test application
    after installation
    through AIR SDK command-line tool (adl AIRHelloWorld.xml),
    console window opens but shuts down immediately and the test
    html-file
    is not shown at all. Has anyone any idea about the cause of
    this problem?
    Regards,
    Matti

    "How are you going about running adl? .."
    I, indeed, first open a command window (Start/Run..) and then
    write the following command text: "adl AIRHelloWorld.xml" and
    then I execute. But the opening window does not remain open,
    but gets closed right away after popping up, so I do not have
    change
    to see any error messages.
    And I did everything what was instructed in the manual
    (Adobe® AIR™
    for JavaScript DevelopersPocket Guide) concerning the
    "Installing of Adobe AIR
    and concerning the "Setting Up the Adobe AIR SDK and Command-
    Line Tools"
    So, what am I not seeing correctly?
    Regards,
    Matti

  • Adobe AIR apk for android having problem when running in tablet

    Already we know AIR having problem when running on some tablet,shows black color for some time after clicking icon and rendering process also very slow mean while game performance is too low and stage frame rate also reduced not 24 fps.
    My case is other than Samsung tablet , Some tablet like asus transformer ...etc  Adobe AIR  works smoothly except in some cases the font changes.it means Arial regular never appears and bold option in htmlText is also not working and sizes also reduced.it shows different not like working in android mobile phones.it is totally changed.but works fine and appears bold in android mobile phones.
    can any one having these kind of problem???
    any one give solution for me???
    or explain why happend like this???

    I don't know how your application is structured, but if you can split sections off into separate SWFs(plain AS3 document) then you could host those section SWFs online and require the user to download them on first run.
    You could use the FileReference object to download the SWFs, save them to the File.applicationStorageDirectory, and then display/load them up with the Loader object when needed from the app storage directory. You would possibly need to check to see if the files are present at every boot of the app though as a user could "Clear Data" or "Clear Cache" of the app in the Settings of their device and one or both of those could/would delete the downloaded files.

  • Adobe air install on android error -24

    I got the Asus Memo Pad 302C. I can not instrall the Adobe Air on this machie. It shows the error menssage -24.
    The Memopad is installed the Android 4.2.2
    Can any one help this? Thanks a lot.

    It gives you only three options:
    Signed packages for each target platform.
    Signed AIR package for installation on desktop.
    Intermediate AIRI package that must be signed later.
    For mobile apps, we need to select the first option to get the .apk and .ipa file as the second option would generate .air file. None of the options offer to package AIR runtime. Only the first option gives you the option on NEXT window to include the download link of AIR Runtime.
    If i am wrong, kindly point me to that specific checkbox.
    OR do i have to put Runtime.apk in the assets folder of my source code so that it gets packaged?

  • Numerous problems with the Adobe AIR runtime for Android

    I created a app on the platform Adobe AIR for Android, which requires for AIR. The app is very popular in the Android Market, but many users complain of problems with the installation of Adobe Air runtime.
    For example these phones users: LGE LG-P698, LG Pecan, HTC Wildfire. But judging by the fact that users have access to the installation of Air, their phones are compatible with it.
    Tell me how do I solve the problem?
    In addition, I have a few questions:
    1. Decides whether the problem of export application with embedded AIR runtime?
    2. I build my apps with the help of ADT. How in this case to make embeding AIR runtime?
    3. Is it possible to prompt the user to download and install older versions of AIR? Where to find its?
    I hope to help, because the problem is global.

    Hi Astraport,
    I think you should embed the air runtime in your application,
    Some time ago I've written a step by step guide, have a look at this post:

  • Combine Adobe AIR frontend and XCode backend?!

    Hi all,
    I am fairly new to the Adobe AIR and the whole ActionScript/Flash development,
    so please do not judge me so hard. Before the question a little background, I have
    developed an application in XCode (Objective C) for Mac OS X, the same application
    was parallelly implemented for windows as well so, now we are looking into the
    possibilities to have only one user interface for both and we are considering using
    the Adobe AIR for this purpose. The question is how do I integrate the already
    existing XCode project to the new Adobe AIR (it is a flex project really, developed
    on flash builder ide) interface?
    Thank you in advance for any hints!
    Best Regards
    Lubo

    This idea is obsolete, I didn't work it out in detail may be if someone else has tried it can post some sample code, I will be most interested. Till then I will mark it as resolved
