Advice On Debugging Android Version

Hello,
I have created an app using Flex and Flash builder which runs fine on the iPad. When I test the app on the desktop by targeting it toward an Android tablet, it works fine also. However, when I try and run the app on the Android tablet, it runs poorly and a lot of functionality is not working correctly, and even some things in the UI are missing. I don't have unlimited access to an Android tablet. So my question is, short of having the actual device, how is the best way to debug this, and why isn't the same Flex code running correctly on the Android device?
thx

Well...
1. Buy an Android tablet. You'll save more in terms of your time guessing at debugging than it will cost in terms of purchase cost.
2. Check your application descriptor XML for Android has all the things enabled that it needs to have enabled by comparing it with the same section for your iPad.
3. See point 1 above!

IdeaPad Tablet A1-07 Android version?

Just got my IdeaPad Tablet A1-07 tab. Looks and feels very good. I then tried to download/install an app and got a note that it would NOT work on the pad.
When I went to the "About Tablet" and look at my "Android version" it tells me I have 2.3.4.
ALL OF THE SPECS on the Lenovo site say I am supposed to have 3.1
What's up?????

Port Android version to Linux

Hello,
I was just wondering whether it is possible for the Android version to be used to keep "Skype for Linux" up to date. Given that the two (Linux and Android) are related, it just seemed like a possibility.
Skype for Linux is still on version 4.3.0.37. It lacks many of the features of Skype on other platforms such as:
Video/webcam use in groupcalls;
Picture sharing;
Options when choosing profile picture such as zooming on a particular part of the uploaded picture;
Text formatting options such as bold, underline, strikethrough and italics.
The community has been asking for Skype for Linux to be updated since this time 3 years ago as shown in threads such as this and this. Unfortunately, the lack of any response from Microsoft on the matter has become extremely frustrating.
As a result, I was hoping that the work done on the Android version could be adapted to help with Skype for Linux.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hmm - actually the MacOS version should run more or less "off the shelf" - this is Unix BSD, and use the same X11 window manager. The difficult part is to remember the diffierent directory names - "/Home" is "/Users" on Mac.
The difference between Android and say Mint is that Google has made the Android window manager, while Mint and Ubuntu and the rest are based on X11 - the very same as MacOS.
Soon it will be Windows that will be used on some desktop environments, while the code the rest of the world use is the code hacked at MIT. They can get an Android emulator by talking to Jolla - or simpler, ask Google that use their own variant of Ubuntu. The response here seems to support what some of us have feared, that Nadella came too late, and it is impossible to turn the ship before it sits high and dry.
Wine should run the XP version of Skype...

Hp slate 7 voice tab android version update

I just want to know if i update my tab's android version from jelly bean to kitkat then it will safe.<br>I mean can i update my tab to kitkat without any problem.<br>

I did it yesterday, and my Slate 7 VoiceTab is absolutely unstable. 2 days ago the device was fully functional and now it's a piece of garbage. The system is unstable, resets itself, the connection via SIM is fading away, a lot of ASSERTs messages pop up, services randomly stop.
And the worst thing is that after the update I can't revert KitKat back to JellyBean because of differences in boot loader.
So, tommorow I'm going to call local HP office trying to replace this otherwise favourite device with another one.

How do I get the android version of Firefox to show my sync key OR export my bookmarks?

This is so aggravating, I have spent hours and hours now trying to get my bookmarks out of my Android device, to no avail.
There are two addons out there, none of which work with the current version (18) of FF.
So I took the about:synckey plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/aboutsynckey/) and updated the install.rdf with the android GUID and bumped the em:MaxVersion. Now it installed! WOHO!
But didn't work. :-(
Googling I managed to find a post in http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941765?page=2 where cor-el points out that the code is wrong. So I make the fix: The call to get the key should supposedly be 'Weave.Utils.hyphenatePassphrase(Weave.Identity.syncKey)'.
I reinstall and try again, but no dice. I try to insert an alert. No dice. The Javascript doesn't seem to fire.
I try on the desktop, and it works! Well, I don't have a key, but the alert fires as least.
Does Android require signed packages for JS to run, or what am I missing here?
The fact that there is no way to get the sync key out of FF for android NOR export bookmarks is, to use a strong word, retarded. Googling around there are many many threads from people who have, like me, lost their recovery key. It's aggravating because the data is there. I have my bookmarks on the device. I know the key is in there or it couldn't decode them. There's just no way to get at it because everything is locked down.
The JS looks like this (oh great, no preview here. How nice):
<script type="application/javascript;version=1.8"><![CDATA[
window.addEventListener("load", function onLoad() {
window.removeEventListener("load", onLoad, false);
Components.utils.import("resource://services-sync/main.js");
let synckey = Weave.Utils.hyphenatePassphrase(Weave.Identity.syncKey);
document.getElementById("synckey").textContent = synckey;
}, false);
]]></script>
One thread suggested 'jailbreaking' and then somehow exporting the sql-lite(?) database containing the key, extracting it from there. I'm not doing that. This isn't supposed to be hard, this is supposed to be three clicks and you're done.
For the love of all that is holy, someone add Export Bookmarks to the Android version so we can get on with our lives.

This is because the directions you are seeing are out of date. They applied to Firefox < 10.
The only way to get data out of the Firefox for Android profile is to use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/copy-profile/
This data is not directly importable into Firefox desktop. It would require some inspection of the SQLite databases to accomplish what you want to do.

How do you publish an Android version of your app?

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me. I want to do an Android version of my app to publish in DPS. I was just wondering if there was a step by step guide?
I know I have to create alternate layouts, but do I save them in other folder with the same _h or _v extension?
Do I need to two folders one for iPad and one for Android and upload to different folios?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use different DPS accounts for iPad and Android versions of same app?

Hi there,
When creating an Android version of an iPad DPS app should the account used to create the content (the 'Title ID' in the DPS App Builder) be the same for both versions, or different? In the content viewer I know that iPad content will show up even on Android, so I'm thinking that the answer is probably no, but I haven't managed to find it mentioned in the Adobe docs.
Thanks,
Toby

It depends, but usually the answer is that you want to use a different account for iOS and Android. Not all features supported in the iOS viewer are supported in the Android viewer. For example, if you use panoramas or iOS-specific web views in your articles, you'll want to be able to use different content for the Android viewers. Search for "dps supported features" for a comparison chart.
I use different Application accounts for my apps. I use the Share/Copy feature to transfer the folios from the iOS account to the Android (or Windows) account. Then I delete the few articles that don't work well in the viewer and replace them with articles generated from different source files. That works well and doesn't require too much extra effort.
If you want to reduce the amount of letterboxing in Android viewers, you'll definitely want to use different accounts and use, for example, 1280x800 folios instead of 1024x768.

Not able to configure Exchange mail account on Xperia Z1 (android version 4.4.2)

Hi,
I have updated the android version of my phone to the latest of kitkat (14.3.A.0.757). After which configuring the exchane mail (corporate mail account) but it is not configuring. Every time it keeps 'checking incoming server settings' for indefinite time. I thought it might be taking time so i left the phone in the same situation for overnight but no result in morning. It looks like a bug in the latest version of kitkat on Xperia. Please suggest a solution.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
First make sure that you have a working Internet connection in the phone.
You can download Internet and MMS settings for your phone by going to Setting > More > Internet settings.
If you have a working Internet connection but still not able to connect to your E-mail server or sync your E-mails check that no Proxy server within your APN settings may be blocking this. You can check this by going to Settings > More (Wireless & networks) > Mobile networks > APN or Access Point Names > Your Internet APN. Check if any details are set for Proxy and Proxy port. If yes you can try to delete them (temporarily) and save the APN. Now check if you’re able to connect or sync with your E-mail server.
You can also verify suspected Internet connection issues by trying via a Wi-Fi network instead.

Best Practice : Adding Android Versions to published iPad Folio

Hi,
I currently have an iPad Custom Viewer with a 239 page per orientation ( yes per orientation! ) folio, this is currently available on iTunes and published.
We are adding Android 10.1" and Android 7" versions to this now.
What would be the best method ( ie. least work ) to add the new screen sizes to the folio ?
My options as I see it are :
1. Use a different Adobe ID for the Android versions. This seems like the least work. Update and republish the iPad folio with all content unprotected to enable new Web Viewer feature with new Custom Viewer.
2. Create a brand new folio with all renditions included. The problem with this is, I don't see a way to manually add all my _V iPad layouts to the alternate layouts. I literally have to set Object Based liquid layout rules for the _H and redo the _V using the rules.
Is there a way for me too add renditions to the existing iPad folio ? Is it as simple as adding new screen sizes to the Folio Builder tool in InDesign ? Regardless I'd still need a starting point for the alternate layouts, and need to work from the iPad versions. Which brings me back to the end of Point 2.

Hi.
Each "rendition" is a folio, all published under same publication account. All renditions share common product ID. It is viewer's job to choose rendition best suitable for device.
From my own experience, I publish all my magazines both on Apple and on Android with no different renditions. Yes on 7" screen the text is a little bit small for comfortable reading.

No version of Adobe Reader can re-order pages. You can do this with Acrobat, however (for Mac and Windows).

Hi, did you try reloading software again? If not, perform Software Repair to see if that helps.
It is not possible to downgrade the Android version officially.

When will the Android version available?

I find it rather strange, that the main platform outside the US is so ignored?
So when will the Android version for tablets published?
