Air for android - how do i make a sound download?

developing on nexus s. want to make my sound download to the phone. anyone know how? or seen any links that could help me? thanks in advance if you can.

Thanks Hangtime. That looks like a pretty decent app. I'll check it out.
Do you (or anybody) know of a way to make a cross-platform compatible sound font, though? I would like to share my results with the (less fortunate) PC crowd as well.
Thanks,

How to add Google Ads or similar in "AIR for Android" application?

Hello,
I have developed my android application (AIR for Android) in Flash Professional CS5.5. It's completed and fully tested on multiple android phones. Now I want to add Google Ads in my application to make some money.
What I already know:
I know that Adobe provides AdMob native extension API which allows you to add Google Ads in your app. But unfortunately, it's not free.
What I want:
I want a free resource through which I can add ads in my application.
Please guide me how can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance,

Yes, its for me broken, too.
I found the link in this thread:

How can I use a file in flash cs6 that I made in flash cs5.5 air for android

I have made an app in in air for android in flash cs5.5 air for android, and I want to edit it in cs6 and play it in cs6.
But if I put Ctrl+Enter I got an error: createWin process failed with error 2: system couldn't find the file. I think the problem is that I'am using air for android 2.6 version in flash cs5.5 and version 3.2 in flash cs6. I have searched the web and found out that you can add older air versions using the sdk manager and I have tried it but first I get the error that the version of the sdk I am trying to install is not valid and after some files that I added to the sdk folder I get this error:Only SDK higher than version 3.4.2540 may be added.
I there a possible way to update the air for android for an fla or apk? Or how can I let my originally file work fine in flash cs6??

system couldn't find the file
If you can´t get a more specific hint why your project can´t compile then I can think of some reasons theis error might occur
1.You had files included besides the swf, like videos, audio files, xml files, that are not present in the place air expects them to be
2.somewhere in your createWin functions there is a class import needed that isn`t present in 3.2 anymore, for example some classes or functions from classes that were valid in 2.6 are not any more in 3.2
3. to achieve better eror logging, allow for debugging in the publishing options and see what specific lines in your code throw the error
4.any air app needs a cert file, this needs to be created once, if you migrated to e new system it might be you never created that file which air expects to even begin the compiling process
once you isolate the problem, report back

How to detect AIR for Android closing app event? AIR analog to Activity.onDestroy()

How to detect AIR for Android closing app event (remove app from dock "Recent Apps")?
In AndroidActivityWrapper.StateChangeCallback exist method onActivityStateChanged. But he have only DESTROYED state, which it seems received where app finish exiting. Activity.onDestroy() called if app start exiting.

DPI aside, you can just set your resolution on the project to the target devices resolution to preview how it will look. While vectors will render much smoother on the device (higher DPI), it's a very easy way to target various resolutions for testing.
If you have the full CC suite you might want to consider using Flash Builder 4.7 which has many different device presets and allows you to create your own presets to mimic tablets and phones. It really depends how complex your project is to move over to FB.

Air For Android - Full Screen not working

Opened CS5.5 > Chose "Air For Android" which gave me a stage dimension of 480x800 default. I then created my app.
I am using a Droid Bionic and testing my app on it. It will not go to full screen, regardless of how I am holding the Droid. When publishing, I clicked "Full Screen" and Portrait, Landscape, Auto Orientation, etc. I tried all of the publishing options, yet still there is white screen on the eastern and southern side of the screen.
I have a picture on the main screen, and it fits perfectly within the 480x800 dimmensions when playing in Flash. After publishing to an APK file and testing it on Droid, I have that white space as mentioned, as if the stage size grew larger than the picture / app. I also shrank the stage(480x800) dimensions to to (340x600) , but still the same amount of white space. When I move the picture to the right a bit, and publish, it shows the white space on the left hand side of the stage. This can only mean that when I publish, the stage size grows but everything on the stage stays the same.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I removed:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
from AS3 and it works better. Now there is even white space on the north and south side of the screen. Clicking "Full Screen" in the publish settings, makes a little more white space, which is weird. It as if now the stage is expanding its height, rather than its height and width due to me using the above code. Still, would like to get rid of that extra white space.
Edit: It looks like the stage height grew by 60. If I expand the picture by 60, placing it on the stage at 0x and -30y, it fits fine on the bionic. I don't understand why this is happening, and scared that it may be different for each device.

Payment gateway services can be expensive yet nowadays you can work with companies such as paypal and others to use their api to take payments. This is the service that you will have to call out to. Yes, you lose a little money in the transaction but this is the service that you will send payment information to and they are the gateway between you and the credit card companies. Once they have the money they turn around and pay you a percentage of the total sale. This percentage is determined in their fine print, so make sure you know how much each payment gateway is planning on taking from you.
I know you need some kind of payment gateway. However, I guess the original thread author was requesting the Android Market in-app billing http://developer.android.com/guide/market/billing/index.html . They take 30% if I am not missinformed, but an advantage is that the customer already is registered with google market. Do you see other payment services as more interesting than the google market one when it comes to Android?

AIR for Android Captive Runtime

Is it possible to package android apps with AIR (or will it be) using Flash CS5.5? I don't see anything on the web about. Just how to do it with Flex and ADT etc...

Hi,
I've made a complete working example for publishing an application with captive runtime, assets and native extensions starting from Flash CS5.5
I was able to make it thanks to hints and suggestions I found in this thread.
Note: english is not my native tongue so I hope you understand what I've written also if sometime it sounds "engrish".
Here it is the link to the zip file:
    http://www.genereavventura.com/hosted/Air3NativeExtensions/AirVibrate.zip
Requirements:
- You must have Flash cs5.5 pro (obviously)
- You must have installed the overlay for Air3.0 sdk on your Flash cs5.5 pro
Here it is a link that explain how to accomplish it: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3939712
Here the steps I made.
1) Open Flash CS5.5 and create a new AIR for Android application
2) Add the swc to the libraries used by your FLA (open Actionscript 3.0 settings and add "VibrationActionScriptLibrary.swc")
   Btw, you can find this "ready to use" native extension inside the zipfile that you can download from here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/vibration.html
   However in my example you will find also a directory named "extension" that contains it.
3) Open and then close the "air for android settings": by doing this Flash will create yourapp-app.xml file in the directory where your FLA resides.
   For example my fla is named "vibrate.fla" so Flash created for me a "vibrate-app.xml" file.
4) Make a copy of this "vibrate-app.xml" file by naming it "real-vibrate-app.xml" (or choose whatever name you want)
   I've done this because after modyfing the original one by adding the <extension> tag (see below) I wasn't able to test my app from within Flash IDE (when I compile it it simply doesn't start)
   Instead by doing this all worked fine.
5) Edit the "real-vibrate-app.xml" file by adding somewhere these lines (I added it just before the <initialWindow> tag)
    <extensions>
      <extensionID>com.adobe.Vibration</extensionID>
    </extensions>
6) Add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/> in the <android> <manifestAdditions> part in "real-vibrate-app.xml" file.
   You should do something like this:
   <android>
      <manifestAdditions>
        <![CDATA[<manifest>
          <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
        </manifest>]]>
      </manifestAdditions>
   </android>
7) Develop your application
   I made a simple one that loads an external jpg and shows it on the stage: then the user can tap on it to make the phone vibrate.
   The function "doVibration" is called only when the app is running on Android Device so I do not get any executions error when I run the app from within Flash Ide
8) Publish and test it to your USB connected device by launching the "publish.bat" file I have created
   Open a dos prompt and move to your project directory then type publish.bat and press enter.
   Note: it can be that you have to edit the bat file in order to change the path to the ADT tool that comes with Air3.0 sdk
   It should be in [your adobe flash cs5.5 directory]\AIR2.6\bin\adt (rememeber, you must have installed the Air3.0 sdk overlying the old Air2.6/2.7 in the AIR2.6 directory)
   Inside the bat file you can change easily the target type (captive or not) simply by commenting/decommenting the right line.
   Captive version is about 8Mb more than the normal one but the big deal is that the user that installs it do not need the air runtime installed on his phone!
   The "big line" that creates the package is the following one:
   call %ADT_LINK% -package -target %TARGET_TYPE% -storetype pkcs12 -keystore certificate/vibrate.p12 -storepass android AirVibrate.apk real-vibrate-app.xml -extdir extensions vibrate.swf icons assets
   where:
   call %ADT_LINK%          it's just the path to the ADT tool
   -package                 it's the command that we want ADT to execute
   -target %TARGET_TYPE%    captive/non captive version
   -storetype pkcs12        certificate related
   -keystore certificate/vibrate.p12 path to your self signed certificate
   -storepass android       certificate related, I created the example certificate with "android" password and this parameters tell ADT to always use it without prompting
   AirVibrate.apk           the name of the Apk
   real-vibrate-app.xml     the apk-xml to use that is the one we modified manually above
   -extdir extensions       it's the path to the directory that contains the native extension
   vibrate.swf              the main swf
   icons                    the icons directory
   assets                   the assets directory (where I put the external jpg)
That's all.
If everything is correct, the batch file creates the AirVibrate.apk then installs it on your attached usb device and run it.
When you tap over the Android image that will appear, your phone should vibrate.
Now.. does someone wants to develop a Native Extension to show Admob banners in our Android Air Applications?
If I missed something, please let me know.
Thanks

AIR for android Sensors

Hi all,
I am developing in AS3 AIR for Android in the flash cs5 IDE.
I want to develop an app that on click logs the users lat, lon, elevation, angle, and direction the phone's camera is pointing.
I know that the there are accelerometer and geolocation sensors in flash.sensors, but i am unclear as to if the accelerometer and geolocation can give me all the data i need. I know i can the lat and lon with geolocation.. i don't know how ever really how to interpret the data of the accelerometer, let alone how to determine the direction (n,e,w,s etc..) of the phone..
also, i am not sure i am running the most up to date AIR for Android extension but my extension manager doesn't seem to prompt me for an update..
Erik

Well Accx,y and z all give accelration in x, y and z direction.
Imagine an AIR application opened with stage in portrait mode. Now imagine
X axis running from bottom left corner to bottom right corner,
Y axis running from bottom left corner to top left corner and
Z axis coming out from the face of the device.
When a device is lying flat on a table on its back z axis is pointing up and is under gravitational accelration of 1 g(9.8 m/s2) downwards. So you can imagine an acceration of 1 g upwards to make that device lie stable on the table.
When a device is under free fall, all three values will be 0.
When device is in upright position with its face poiting your front, accY would be 1 and accX, accZ would be 0.
I hope this helps in understanding the different values in other scenarios. Its just the aceeraltion in a specific direction. As a side note, accelrometer values would not give the direction the device's face is pointing to. For example in the last case above, if you rotate the device about its Y axis, all values would remain same, but the face is still pointing to different directions.
Thanks,

AIR for Android monetizing

I am new to this so forgive me, but i launched a paid version of an AIR for Android App and wanted to launch a free version with ads in an attempt to see how the monetizing of an app goes. Does anyone have experience doing this with AIR for android? if so what are my options?
erik

After a lot of trouble (account canned on ADMOB ) and research, I have gotten Ads to work in all my Android Apps. This will work on a lot of AD networks, but most will ban you click fraud. Only one network allows this method and they provide support for it too.
I have over 100 games apps. with this method implemented and working. Here is a link to one of them for you to see how it will look in game. I am using multiple ads in this to force the user to click and make me some money: https://market.android.com/details?id=air.GraffitiCityMarketFree&feature=search_result
Does LeadBolt offer HTML integration for banner ads?
LeadBolt does allow banner ads to be integrated into your app using HTML, rather than using our SDK. To create a HTML banner ad after adding an app to the LeadBolt portal, simply click “Add Ad” and select “App Banner (HTML)” from the drop down box. The HTML snippet can then be added directly into your app’s HTML framework.
So far my eCPM is $6.15
I have created this guide to show my appreciation:

Increase brightness using adobe air for android

Is there any fringe api to increase the screen brightness in adobe air for android?
Im making a morse code app and it could really use a pump in brightness while the app is in use.
If its not yet implemented, then this would deffinately make a nice addition.

i have an app called screenLight on my droidx. it really pumps up the screen brightness and makes it like a flashlight (kinda)... so i am pretty sure it is possible. i dont know how but you might try to see if you can contact one of their develepors. another option for you would be to possibly use the cameras flash. it is way brighter than the screen will ever be (though much smaller)
good idea for an app!

Best practice for images. Air for Android

Hey guys...
I was thinking about the best solution when it comes to images storage for Air on Android.
Since I dont have much experience with non-web based apps, I thought of two way and I would like to know your thought on them.
1.Application Storage Directory. If I get it right, this folder is created when the app is installed and the project can access files in it. Any idea on how this can work with images?
2.Database. My app uses a local database anyway so maybe that the proper way to do it. I've done some research and found out that the image must be converted to a byte array (thats easy) but then I dont have a clue on how to save it to the database.
So? Which one is better for the mobile world?
Also, if there are other ways let me know please.

While I am no expert in this area, I did run across this blog:
http://www.remotesynthesis.com/post.cfm/local-caching-of-remote-images-in-air-for-android
It deal with local caching of remotely loaded images. Should be exactly what you are looking for.

Adobe AIR for Android - GPU Mode - Bitmap Auto-Smoothing Issue

Hi everyone
I'm having a bit of an issue with the AS3 bitmap object. I'm currently developing an 8-bit style pixel game for AIR for Android.
This game is being developed at a very low resolution and is being scaled up to maintain the charm of an old retro game.
One of the methods I'm using is drawing pixels directly to bitmap objects and scaling the object up to create the old look.
When testing on a mobile device, this works beautifully when you set the rendering method to Direct but when you change
the render method to GPU the visuals go all blurry and anti-aliased (it's as if the bitmap is being smoothed out). The mini map
for example is rendered using the setPixel method and then scaled up 9 times. Looks great on my PC but once I export it to my phone
it looks absolutely awful! This is no good as I want to keep the clean, solid pixel look to maintain the the old 8-bit feel and obviously
I'd like to stick to GPU mode due to it's speed.
Like I said, this only happens once you test on a mobile device in GPU mode - it doesn't do it on my main desktop machine or
in Direct mode. I already have the stage quality set to low and I've tried setting the bitmap's smoothing property to false but
it does nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get around this?

How about first blit your image to a small bitmapData, then draw it on a large bitmapData (9X larger)?
Like,
var small_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH, SMALL_HEIGHT, false);
var large_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH * 9, SMALL_HEIGHT * 9, false);
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(large_bmd, PixelSnapping.NEVER, false);
var blitRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 9, 9);
var i:uint, j:uint, blitColor:uint;
small_bmd.draw(SOURCE_IMAGE);
large_bmd.lock();
for(j = 0; j < SMALL_HEIGHT; j++){
     for(i = 0; i < SMALL_WIDTH; i++){
          blitColor = small_bmd.getPixel(i, j);
          blitRect.x = i * 9;
          blitRect.y = j * 9;
          large_bmd.fillRect(blitRect, blitColor);
large_bmd.unlock();
Not sure if the code works or not, but hopefully this helps.

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.

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.
