Alert in adobe air / mobile development

I can't seem to do Alert.show like I do in regular flex apps,
I can't import mx.controls.Alert is there a equivalent in adobe air or how do you go about popping up error messages?

So is there Alert.show() for adobe air/mobile developement??? I was wonder it hasn't been added or is there an alternative for it?

Connecting between two Adobe air mobile applications (On Android)

Hi There,
Does an Adobe AIR application can connect and pass parameters somehow (Directly or by http) with another android application?
Can Adobe AIR mobile application open a listening socket?

Um, I'm pretty sure this is wrong. You cannot use SocketServer on a mobile app platform for some stupid reason.
From the doc
"AIR profile support: This feature is supported on all desktop operating systems, but is not supported on mobile devices or AIR for TV devices"

How to use ScaleNine themes to skin an Adobe Air Mobile App

Hi,
I'm rather new to Adobe Air development But I really like it! Now that I've created my app I would like to skin it. I've found ScaleNine (http://www.scalenine.com/gallery/gallery-1.php) which has ready made cool skins for Flex and Air. I downloaded the samples and they compile and work beautifully. HOWEVER: I can't seem to be able to use them to skin my Air mobile app.
Can anyone post an example ViewNavigatorApplication themed with one of the themes there? this one (http://www.scalenine.com/themes/blend/Blend.html) looks as though someone tailored it to my app :-)
Thanks a lot!
Avi

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 Mobile User Agent Issue.

Hi,
We are working on the adobe air applications to handle multiple instance of mobile user agents. While doing so we observed that when a user agent
belonging to android/ios/windows/ mobiles web page objects/ui for mobile website is not loading as it was expected. To be precize some of the ui components
location is getting distorted. Please let me know the possible solution/fix for the same. Looking forward to hear on this soon.
PS: Same user agent when loading on firefox user agent addon, mobile web site opens properly without any issue.

DOES THIS MEAN YOU ALREADY ABLE TO USE A CUSTOM USER AGENT FOR AIR PROJECT ??

Scrim / Spinner For Adobe Air Mobile Apps?

I'm in the process of learning Adobe Air for mobile devices. I'm using Flash Builder Burrito. I didn't have any previous experience with Flash Builder or ActionScript, but I'm finding it very easy to use (I do have 11 years of programming experience). I'm stumped on something that's usually built into most other mobile platforms -> How do you create a scrim & spinner??? For those who may be wondering what I'm referring to, it's when your screen is dimmed and a revolving or spinning icon is displayed to show that your app is busy.
I tried the following...
1) Create a group that covers the entire view
2) Change the background color of the group to black and alpha to .5
2) Add a spinner image to the group
3) Set the "enable" property of the group to true/false depending on if I wanted it displayed or not
This didn't work at all. Any suggestions would be great!!!

I ALMOST have it working thanks to this great post by Andrew trice. I have two minor issues...
The animated gif won't play. I realize animated gifs probably aren't the way to go in FLASH builder, but it was worth a try. How do I recreate the spinner effect???
The scrim doesn't cover the navigation panel. Again, any ideas?

FAO Adobe: What is Adobe's mobile development strategy?

We've been trying to establish where Adobe is going with mobile development but just can't figure it out. Can anyone clarify please?
For example, when will Dreamweaver be updated to properly support the latest versions of Phonegap/Cordova (i.e. v3.x)? Or is there no commitment to Phonegap? Blackberry, WebOS, Symbian are still shown but not supported. And Windows Phone is supported but not shown.
There seems to be a lack of interest from Adobe for Phonegap/Dreamweaver support.
Alongside our investment in Flash, which is now killed off, we previously invested time in native app development, then started using FlashBuilder because of Adobe's support for mobile app development, but Flashbuilder isn't properly supported now. Then switched to dreamweaver/phonegap because of Adobe's commitment to develop once and distribute to many platforms. But it seems to be a dwindling commitment and Phonegap isn't planned to support Blackberry 10. Creative Cloud seemed like a step towards supporting better development and faster access to updated software but the products have hardly been updated since we adopted it. So, we're just trying to establish if there is a strategy or go back to native app development with eclipse and xcode or look for another solution.
We've recently seen "Adobe Experience Manager" in the press but it seems like a lot of marketing blurb with no real substance in terms of a development strategy and how the Adobe products fit in.
Any clarification of the strategy would be really useful. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Ronny,
you only have the two possibilities which where shown: Backweb or Attachments. As you say I got more bad experience with Attachments due to the fact that you need BP's or Activities. If you are using SAP Portal my recommendation is Backweb. I installed it under CRM 3.0 and it is really good. Easy to use and reliable. Admins need 30 min for training, Enduser about 5 Minutes and it works - what should I say more

Why did you pick Adobe AIR for development?

I'm not an Adobe AIR developer yet. From what I've seen so far, it looks like a decent environment to work in but I'm very early in my research. I'd love to hear from you as to why you picked it. I've got an application in mind and would like it to be able to have the following characteristics:
Run on a variety of devices
Have access to local hardware, sensors
Transmit data on demand either to or from device, choose network and level of compression based on rule set
Access a variety of databases including Oracle, SQL*Server, MySQL.
Have a strong development community and resources.
Seems AIR has all these things. Would love to know why you picked AIR, other products you looked at and elminated, why you eliminated those?
Thanks so much.

I picked AIR because IMO it's the easiest / best performing / cross platform development tool I know. Cordova, PhoneGap, etc can do similar, but they just can't keep up with performance/ease from AIR.
AIR has updates pretty often too, so things are always looking better.
Using AIR also gives you the ability to use the flash IDE, which currently I 1000% can not comprehend how certain things could be built without it.

Adobe air mobile - softKeyboardType is not working when using skinClass to allow scrolling?

I am trying to set the softKeyboardType to email but when ever i use skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin" it doesn't change it but when i take off skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin" it does work. The problem is i need the skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin" class to allow my application so scroll with out it the text does not stay with in the bounds of the text input boxes. Has anyone seen this problem or another fix the the scrolling problem?
Code examples
<s:TextInput softKeyboardType="email" id="id1" width="100%" skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" />
<s:TextArea softKeyboardType="email" id="id2" height="400" width="100%" skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin" />
Thank for the help,
Justin

The main problem we are all seeing is that its not hooking into the scroller, as this is documented not to work in a scrollable environment
However try something like this, still not perfect (as i see a flicker) but it should get you going.

Quel avenir pour Adobe Air Mobile & Desktop

Flash Builder créé actuellement des packages Natif pour Iphone4 mais les packages Android reposent sur Air3 (ou 3.1 pour FB4.6).
Air3 sera t'il encapsulé dans les futurs APK Android ?
Y aura t'il toujours des mises a jours de Air pour mobile ?
Le developpement de Air desktop se poursuit t'il ?
En clair Air est t'il une techno d'avenir ?

Adobe Air vs HTML5 vs Native in Mobile Development

Just now, I read an article "HTML5 vs. Native: What`s a Mobile Developer to Do?" (http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/HTML5-vs-Native-Whats-a-Mobile-Developer- to-Do-648997/), and this make me think of Adobe AIR.
For those of you who have used Adobe AIR to develop mobile apps, how do you think about it's performance, features/functionality (API), and stability as compare with HTM5 done with phonegap?
Please share your experience and opinion here. Thanks.

Witch version of flash builder is this?

AIR Mobile detecting device memory

Is it possible to detect the total amount of device memory without a native extension on Adobe AIR Mobile? Hoping to detect low memory devices and turn certain features on/off.
I am aware of System.totalMemory and System.freeMemory but that only give you what is already allocated to Flash and I want to know what the device itself has.
Thanks!

Did you get any resolution to this? I'm interested to know (as, it seems, are a lot of others).
