Air Android - Share menu

Hi,
I'm working on a note taking app and I would like to add it to the ANDROID share menu to receive content from it.
The share menu lets you share text/links from the browser to apps.
This is how it looks like:

Does anybody know how to do that?
I'm using AIR 3.9 and Flash CS6
Thanks

You can try with this ANE for Android:

If you need iOS functionality as well, you have this paid extension:

How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

I've noticed in AIR 2.7 for Android, that now the bottom icons in Android 3.0 Honeycomb are hidden (replaced by small dots) in AIR 2.7, whereas in AIR 2.6 they were always visible. That's cool. Since the bottom bar can never be hidden in Android 3, at least now those icons are less visible (unless you intentionally touch the bottom bar, then the icons show up for a few seconds).
BUT I also noticed in AIR 2.7 compiled apps, the native "Menu" icon is not visible anymore, even after touching the bottom bar. In AIR 2.6 you could see and press that button (which can be captured from AIR so you can show a custom settings menu or whatever).
So, quoting the subject --> How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

There is a work around and a reason for the menu issue. Honeycomb doesn't natively support a menu softkey, it is only to support old apps comiled in phone API levels. If you compile a Honeycomb app in 2.7 or 3.0, it is expected you manage the settings within the larger tablet UI framework. See below link for more info and work around.

AIR - Android -- A piece of ****

Hi,
I spent my precious 2 days time to write an application (AIR-Android) which can play internet radio stations (streamed audio). Every thing worked great when I used 'Test Movie' or Ctrl+ENTER. But same is not working when I generated the .apk and installed on HTC Desire HD (running Android 2.2 and have AIR with latest updates).
I have predefined few internet radio stations and clicking on the station name should start playing the radio. I have used the SoundChannel with 3 second buffering option. On the device application triggers the buffering event but never comes out of that or plays the audio.
I have tried few things:
1. Prepared a test file with only one station
2. In publish settings --> Audio Stream set the bit rate to 24kbps which is same as that station is streamed
3. Increased the script limit to 30 seconds
4. Tried to use Security.allowDomain() which caused runtime error (3207 Application-sandbox content cannot access this feature)
I used the station "http://stream.radiosai.net:8004" for testing. The station is active, streaming in MP3 format and able to listen through the Windows Media Player / VLC.
I prepared a self signed AIR for desktop as well and installed on my laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) but same problem.
I have prepared this using Air for Android extn for Flash CS5.
Please let me know if anybody has faced the same problem, suggest me if I am really missing anything.
Here the AS3 code used for testing.

Its very sad that adobe has created something fully buggy and works only on IDE but not on actual device. More sad part is adobe is not even cared to have a look into the issue.

Hi Chris / tzeng,
Let me put it in much cleaner way :
What I am trying to achieve?
- Listen / play internet radio (IR) stations.
- Links are taken from : http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Music_streams & few from Shoutcast
What are all the available formats for IR station URL?
1. http://server_name:NNNN/ where NNNN is port number
     - http://stream.radiosai.net:8004
     - http://wjab.streamguys.net:80/
     - http://radio2.trancemission.fm:80/
2. http://server_ip_address:NNNN
     - http://65.60.19.44:80/
     - http://213.246.51.97:8024/
3. http://server_name_OR_ip/stream/xyz
     - http://scfire-ntc-aa03.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1025
     - http://208.80.52.246/ESPNRADIOCMP3
4. http://server_name_OR_ip:NNNN/xyz.mp3
     - http://stream.transmissionfm.com:8000/techno-high.mp3
     - http://av.adobe.com/podcast/csbu_dev_podcast_epi_2.mp3
Please share if anybody came across different format than these.....
What is working on device and what is not working?
Any URL of format 3 & 4 is working on the device.
Any URL of format 1 & 2 is not working on the device.
What happens if the swf is opened in flash player like debugger version (flashplayer_10_sa_debug)?
Tried with 4 URL each of different format. Debugger player is able to play all the stations.
What happens if the swf is opened in IE browser with Flash plugin?
Only URL of format 3 & 4 works.
What happens if 'Test Movie' is used in IDE?
Only URL of format 3 & 4 works.
Now question is why URL with format 1 & 2 fails? Why same links work on debugger version or VLC or windows media player?
I have captured the packets sent(received) from(at) device (HTC Desire HD) using WireShark (on Windows 7). I dont see any option to attach the files. Will try to send as private message.
After a deep search I found that this issue is already faced : http://forums.adobe.com/message/3027799

I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens. I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

How can I remove recent contacts from my Mac's 'Share Menu'?

I have a MacBook Pro and I noticed that when I want to share something it only shows me the recent messages of one person to share with. I don't talk to said person as often as any other so I'd like to know how to remove it from my share menu. Thanks!

No Share menu in Itunes 10.5.3.3

I am trying to update my music library via homeshare however, there is no Share menu after I upgraded to itunes 10.5.3.3. I've tried turning off the homeshare and restarting itunes, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, and i've also tried repairing itunes. I've tried looking for threads on this but haven't found one. I see its also a problem on my daughters ibook. I have a PC running Vista. Is there a fairly simple fix? Or, If it's more complicated, can someone please explain it step by step?

I only have my own MacBook Pro to test on, but this resolved the issue for me.
Creating a new user resolves this issue for that user. For existing users, I did the following. Note that 'staff' is a group to which my work and home accounts both belong.
Log in as root or a different user with sudoer permissions.
Go the the 'Users' directory.
Where 'username' is the home directory of the user for whom the menu bar is no longer working type:
Type 'chown -R username:staff username', without the quotes.
Type 'chmod -R g+r username', again without the quotes.
Log back into the 'username' account and the menu bar should be functional. And probably several other preferences issues which the update borked by getting the file permissions wrong.

Why is the "Send to iDVD" command missing from the share menu in iPhoto 9.4.3 when trying to send a slideshow to iDVD?

How come the "Send to iDVD" command is missing from the share menu? In iPhoto I used to be able to send my slideshows to iDVD simply my clicking on the slideshow, selecting the "Share" menu at the top and going to "Send to iDVD". Now in iPhoto 9.4.3 that option is missing.
Further i am also using iDVD 7.1.2 and running OSX version 10.8.3.
Thanks!

Export the slideshow via the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window with Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, choose a theme and drag the exported movie file to the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Mail option is missing from share menu

"Mail" is missing from the share menu. When I go to the Extensions preferences in the System Preferences it is checked buy also grayed out. On Apple.Com it clearly shows in the example that Mail is present in the Share dropdown menu. I verified that my Mail account is correct. I have also tried Apple's instructions on this page: If sharing options and Markup are missing after you install OS X Yosemite - Apple Support. Still nothing works. The Apple Help file even says this:
Share Menu
Select the items that you want in the Share menu, and in the Social widget in Today view in Notification Center.
The Share menu is available in several apps, including Safari, Contacts, and the Finder. If an item is selected, but you don’t see it in an app’s Share menu, then you can’t use that item to share in that particular app.
Only items that allow posting or messaging can appear in the Social widget.
So, it would seem from this that Mail is not available in Photos? I find that hard to believe. I would be nice to still be able to email a photo directly from the new Photos App. Any other help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Stan

Having the same issue! Just updated to 10.10.3 and still no mail option in the share menu for Photos app! Share via email works fine in Safari but it is not available in Photos app. Hopefully someone will advise or respond asap otherwise, will wind up following the steps to reverting back to iPhoto!!

Where is the SHARE Menu located in iPhoto?

Hello. In the Apple procedures for backing up photos, they indicate the following:Copy your photo library to a CD or DVD
1. Select your Library, roll, album, or individual photos you want to burn to a disc.
2. Click the Share menu, and choose Burn.
3. Insert a blank CD or DVD into your drive.
4. Name your disc.
5. Click the Burn button in the Burn Disc window.
Can someone advise me where the SHARE MENU is? I have tried to find it, but no luck. Is it in the Toolbar or is it somewhere on the iPhoto page itself? Thanks.

ws,
Which one would you suggest as a trade-off for economy, ease of use and reliability?>>>
I'll add my vote here for PhotoShop Elements, since I do use it. It's very flexible: easy for beginners, yet powerful for more advanced use. I've had every version from PSE 1 up to 4, and it's been worth every penny each time.
For your second question, I have a different approach. iPhoto and PSE are different types of applications, with different strengths, which work very well in tandem as 2 parts of a workflow. I use iPhoto to organize my photos. The more I play with its features the more I like it. Now that I have added keywords to all my photos, I can use Smart Albums or the keyword tool to pull up any set of photos I could imagine almost instantly. As an image editor, however, iPhoto is quite limited. Fine for a quick crop or red-eye fix, but that's about it.
For image editing I use PSE 4. I set in up in iPhoto's preferences as my external editor. Double-click in iPhoto to open the image in PSE. Edit, click Save, and the edited version is automatically saved back into iPhoto. Simple.
PSE 4 comes with Adobe Bridge, written for PC users who don't have the benefit of iPhoto. I don't know about the version of Bridge that comes with Photoshop CS2, but the version I have is a highly crippled version compared to Bridge on a PC. On a PC you create catalogs, version sets, tags, etc. to organize your photos and be able to search them (like with iPhoto). But the Mac version is lacking all of these features. It is simply a file browser that lets you open files from your own folders and add metadate. You can search by that metadata, I suppose. Anyway, there is no benefit to transferring your files to Bridge whatsoever. It does not store your files for you. You'd lose all the functionalities of iPhoto, and gain only a crippled PC app. BTW, I tried using Bridge when I first got it with PSE 4. It just doesn't work well for photos inside the iPhoto library, because accessing them from Bridge is the same as accessing them through the Finder (a no-no). I am much happier with my iPhoto to PSE workflow. I use only Bridge to browse and access images that I keep outside of iPhoto, like scrapbook projects.
System requirements for PSE 4: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelmac/systemreqs.html indicate OS X (10.3) or higher. PSE 3.0 works with 10.2.8 or 10.3. Version 3 does not come with Bridge; it has a file browser built in, which you can ignore if you are using iPhoto. You can find it for $35 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-Elements-3-0-Mac/dp/B0002UDQAO/sr=1-4/qid= 1172615161/ref=sr14/103-9537804-8479040?ie=UTF8&s=software

How to add Mail to Photos dropdown share menu?

If I want to share a photo by email (while in Photos), Help tells me to click on the Share icon, then select Mail. My problem is that Mail is NOT on the Dropdown menu.How do I put it on the Dropdown menu?
I suspect the problem may relate to the fact that I moved from a Windows PC to my Mac and installed a Thunderbird Email client to avoid learning a new Mail interface first thing. Now the Thunderbird icon show on the Photos "Share" menu (although it is grayed out and cannot be selected), and I have long since abandoned Thunderbird in favor of Mac Mail. So it seems reasonable that I need to remove the grayed out Thunderbird icon, and replace it with the Mac Mail icon on the Photos "Share" dropdown menu.
Any suggestion for implementing that change?

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail

How to embed a font air Android App????

Hi, im new to this forum so please forgive me if i question in the wrong section.
I am Beginner and am working on an air android game in flash cs6.. i need embed fonts please help me sort out htis problem..

The easiest for me is to simply embed your font into your main document class, like this:
package
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import flash.text.*;
     public final class MyApp extends Sprite
          [Embed(source="../fonts/ITCAvantGardeStd-Bold.otf", embedAsCFF = "false", fontWeight="bold", fontName = "ITCAvantGardeStd_DemiAndBold", mimeType = "application/x-font-truetype", unicodeRange="U+0021-U+007E, U+00A9, U+00AE")] // Main characters + Copyright and Registered glyphs
          static public var ITCAvantGardeStdBold:Class; // that's what the embed gets baked into
          Font.registerFont( ITCAvantGardeStdBold ); // do this once per font
          public function MyApp():void // Constructor
               // Create a textformat that uses the font
               var tft:TextFormat = new TextFormat( "ITCAvantGardeStd_DemiAndBold", 20, 0xffff00, true ); // size = 20 pix, color is yellow, bold = true, matching the font weight
               // create a text field
               var tf:TextField = new TextField();
               with ( tf )
                    antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED; // optional
                    defaultTextFormat = tft;
                    embedFonts = true; // this is using an embedded font
                    width = 100;
                    autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
                    wordWrap = true;
                    text = "Hello world ! blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah";
                    height = textHeight + 8; // nice and tight
                    border = true; // for fun
                    borderColor = 0xffff00; // yellow
               addChild( tf );
     } // end of: class
} // end of: package
The embed statement contains several optional properties, like fontWeight, fontStyle, and fontFamily.
Check here for info: http://divillysausages.com/blog/as3_font_embedding_masterclass
Note: Alternatively, you could use Flash Professional to embed the font into the document class via the IDE ( like so: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/embedding_fonts.html ).
Also, for these kinds of questions, I recommend:
1) O'Reilly -- Essential ActionScript 3.0
2) O'Reilly -- ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook

30 fps projects automatically become 25 fps when export a DVD from share menu

I shoot some video at 30 fps. I made a project setting to match that.
My 30 fps projects becomes 25 fps when I make DVDs from FCPX share menu.
I thought it would make 29.97 DVDs but somehow FCPX makes PAL DVDs.
I tried different settings: all 23.98, 24, 29.97, 60 fps projects give me 29.97 DVDs when I share from FCPX.
Only 30 fps projects does not give me 29.97 but 25.
Do you know why that happen?

I am bit confused. It is not easy to make 29.97 out of 30 fps yet let FCPX handle the frame rate change?
Of course we should have the right fps setting when we shoot. I guess it is still best option at this stage to set FCP project 29.97 and let it do the math.
If, though, I am okay to have my source video slow down tiny bit, then using Compressor for frame-to-frame conversion will assure the best quality?

Is it possible to access user account in an air android app ?

Is it possible to access user account in an air android app in as3 ?
The only thing I've found on internet is that one has to add to its manifest permissions to acccess account :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
and this documentation for native android coding :
http://developer.android.com/training/id-auth/identify.html
thanks for any help.

There is no API in the AIR runtime to get user's accounts.
But you may write an ANE to get the same.

Photo casting not in share menue

I purchased and installed Ilife 06 . I have tried to use the photocasting but it is not showing on my share menue when I select aan album to share. I have installed 6.04 iphoto. Visited the mac store today and they said all I needed to do was to set my info in system preferences.. Did that and still don't have any menu showing photocast... What shoud I do??? Thanks,
HKIII

i'm having the same problem. Its not that there is no recongition of a album for a photocast. There is not an option when you go to the share menue. Your only choices are iweb and .mac slides. There isn't a photocast choice not even an greyed out apperance. i went to talk to the mac person at one of the stores and he pulled up iphoto and showed me where to go,he went to the shear menue in iphoto and the photocast choice was there but it was greyed out. so he told me to check the softwear version. but the only difference i saw is their version was 6.02. does any body have any insight.

Email is not an option in the Share menu in Photos.

OS X 10.10.3; 13 inch Macbook. It is my understanding to email pictures in Photos you have to click on the picture and go to the share button. However, email is not an option there. If I click the "More" menu choice at the bottom of the Share menu then I see Email as a checked option in the Extensions window that opens. But at no time do I see a way to actually send the photo with mail.

What I discovered is that you must make Mail the default mail program by going to the Mail program-->Preferences-->General and making Mail the default program. I don't want to do that as I use Thunderbird for my email. So Photos is a step backwards for me. I'm back to having to drag the photos out of the Photos app, size them, and then send them, the way I used to do in iPhoto before it had an outgoing email message function. Sounds like Apple is using Photos to force you into using Mail
