Alert.show on Air application

Dear Flexer,
I made an transparent Air application with no chrome.
With those configuration, I have a problem with alert window.
Indeed, if i try to use an alert.show anything appear on screen.
I thinks that this problem appear because on my application only menubar appear.
So as I work on Flex 4 with Macintosh system, I try to do Alert.show("Souhaitez-vous quitter MonAppli?", "Quitter l'application", Alert.OK | Alert.
CANCEL, Sprite(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication);
But no alert on screen
Is anyone have a solution to solve that mistake?
Thanks for your help.

Post a 20-line test case.

AIR applications - AIR license agreement showing instead of application

Hi there
I have a user who is experiencing the following issue - when he tries to run an AIR application, the license agreement shows (accept/decline), and then nothing (the app doesn't launch when you click accept).
This happens for all his AIR applications (not just the one we developed), he's tried uninstalling and reinstalling both AIR and the app. He's using windows 7
this is what shows when he launches an AIR App:

I'm not a computer tech. I have to use AutoCAD for work. I listen to Pandora while i work. Pandora finally helped me. We removed the latest Adobe air update and installed an older one and that allowed Pandora app to show again. The only problem i have now is that i keep getting a notice from Adobe for an update. I don't trust Adobe anymore what a sorry company and now you are asking me to help solve its problems. I am so dissapointed. Also, you are just now getting around to contacting me. You guys need to do better it'll be awhile unfortunatley before i update or do anything with Adobe. The killer was that Adobe wanted me to pay 35 dollars for help. You suck!

Could you guys try running Microsoft's AccessEnum utility against your "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\" folder and post the resulting log? I suspect we're running into permission issues but this should give us a better idea.
You might have to enable "show hidden files and folders" to be able to see the AppData folder.
Thanks,
Chris

Air application shows no GUI, any help?

Hi all,
I built and run an AIR application in Flash Builder 4 IDE. The code works fine, the application runs and there is no error or warning. The GUI shows up okay and there is no any error when I run "Export Release Build" to create the myApp.air to make the application installable.
With the myApp.air file, when I install this application, the installation goes okay but when I run the installed myApp application nothing shows up. I mean no GUI. If I check the task manager, the app seems running there as a process.
This whole thing remained the same when I used FLEX Builder 3 as well as when I used command line build.
Please help me resolve this problem.

KGLAD, I appreciate your time and suggestions.
I am sorry but I think I was not able to make my problem clear to you or may be didn't get you quite well.
I have an application which runs fine when I build and run it in the IDE. There is no error or warning at all.
I can export this application to application.air without any error or warning.
The main problem is - after I install the exported application.air app, nothing shows up. If I check in the task manager, the app seems running as a process.
I can see all the required files loaded in the application.air package when I open it as a zip folder.
Please tell me what things should I try to trace and when and where? Also share me some ideas on how to fix it.
For your info:
This app is AIR 1.0 app compiled with flex sdk 3.0 in Flex builder 3
The problem remains same if I use flash builder 4 or do the command line compilation with adl and adt.
I am using windows vista OS [Business Version].

How to open and show a word, excel, ppt file in Adobe AIR application?

Dear All,
I have a requirement to open a MS- word/ Excel file in the AIR application.
On click of a brows button a file reference box opens...on any file
selection...it should open in the application itself...
so plz let me know the solutions u have...

Here is your basic issue: setting a classpath (and presumably compiling and executing a program) is one of the most basic, fundamental concepts in Java. I would advise you to follow JVerd and Annie's links and get started on a tutorial. Try writing a simple HelloWorld application before delving into POI. When you are more comfortable writing and compiling programs, and post a specific question, it will be much easier to help you.

Why is my Air application taking so long to show the first view on iOS devices?

I built an Air application that runs on Android devices and iOS devices. The application uses Air 3.4 and Flex SDK 4.6. On my Android device, the application starts in 5 seconds. On my iPad device, the application starts in 90 seconds.
My application has a splash screen, which is launched via the ViewNavigatorApplication property, splashScreenImage.
The application was built in release mode and the SWF file is 1.384M. After I create the ad-hoc build, which includes the Air Captive Runtime, I see the following file sizes and startup times.
iPad 2 - ipa size, 8.6M
12 seconds of black screen. Then my splash screen appears. 80+ seconds of splash screen. Then my first view appears.
Android Nexus 7 - apk size, 4.0M
2.5 seconds of black screen. Then my splash screen appears. 2.5 seconds of splash screen. Then my first view appears.
Here are more details about my app.
It's a video conferencing app. So I have to set renderMode to "cpu". The app has 5 views and several popups. The popups use the SkinnablePopupContainer. The app uses dependency injection as provided by the Parsley framework to share two small data objects between the views. The app uses web service calls to manage the conference state.
The problem occurs at startup. I haven't rendered a view with video logic, and the first view is a welcome page with a scrollable text area for terms and conditions, one button with an icon, one toggle button, and one hyperlink button.
The app has about 400k of embedded images which are rendered using the MultiDPIBitmapSource.
The app has 43.3K of icons for the various sizes as specified in the application xml file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I figured out how to resolve the issue. I had to change the renderMode from "cpu" to "direct". That solved the problem, and the application performs perfectly. Even the video displays work ok. It's interesting that Adobe advises against using "gpu" or "direct" renderMode when displaying video. I need to figure out why and make sure the application is acceptable as is.
I have more testing to conduct, but I'm very encouraged.

How to play and stop flv files through NetStream in AIR Application

Hi,
In a folder I have 'n' number of flv file, which are DRM protected. when the user try to play those files for the first time through my AIR application, it will prompt for username and password and gets the license/voucher from the server and store it in AIR Runtime. so that from the next time onwords it won't prompt for username and password as because it already has license/voucher.
     My problem is assume there are 500 files, such that for each file the user has to enter his credentials[username and password]. which is a stupid thing. I want to avoid this process by implementing this process internally/programetically. By playing/accessing each file through netstream from the folder and setDRMAuthenticationCredentials for that file and stop the stream. Here I am able to play each file but I am failed to stop it. I mean to say I will get the license for all the flv files internally[while loading my AIR application], such that user should not be interrupted for his credentials for each file.He should play as if he is accessing/playing a non-DRM protected file. I will be very thank full if any one help me out in this.

I found one more error in debugging mode..the Alert message is
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

pure virtual function Call.
As per my view it is about some .dll and .CPL file makes some issues with AIR Frameworks is it? !!!!..
Please give some ideas to resolve it.

Beerahamedkhan

Could you try this against the released 3.2 version of AIR and our 3.3 beta to see if it still occurs? If so, please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Include any sample code or application to help us easily reproduce the problem. If you'd like to keep your code private, please feel free to send it to me directly at [email protected] In addition, if you can give us a .dmp of this crash it could be very helpful.

On main air app.mxml file I create menu with
var menu : createMenuBar = new createMenuBar();
menu.initWindow();
application menu appear but when I work on Windows system, windows menu is not visible.
Can you help me to solve that?
Thanks

I believe you ran into an AIR limitation. In the class header for NativeMenu it mentions:
A native menu is a menu that is controlled and drawn by the operating system rather than by your application.       AIR supports the following types of native menus:
Application menus are supported on OS X. Use the NativeApplication.supportsMenu property to test whether       application menus are supported on the host operating system. An application menu is displayed on the Menu bar at the top of the       Mac desktop. OS X provides a default menu for every application, but many of the menu commands are not functional. You can add       event listeners to the default items, replace individual menus and items, or even replace the default menu entirely.       Access the application menu object using the NativeApplication menu property.
Window menus are supported on Windows and Linux. Use the NativeWindow.supportsMenu property to       test whether window menus are supported on the host operating system. A window menu is displayed below the window title bar. The area       occupied by the menu is not part of the window stage. Applications cannot draw into this area. Assign a menu to a window using the       NativeWindow menu property.

Use the NativeMenu.isSupported property to check if OS supports it. There is also NativeWindow.supportsMenu property that may help you. I hope that helps.

Cannot install AIR application when the system date is set beyond 10/31/2017

I created a native time-stamped installer for an AIR application. While testing the installer with different system dates, I noticed that the installer does not work when the system date is set beyond 10/31/2017. I tested the same with a self-signed certificate as well as a Verisign certificate and found the behaviour to be consistent. Why does the installer stop working after this date?

Thanks very much for keeping this issue alive.
Let me restate the issue:
We have a AIR 2.0.4.13090 sidecar application. Installing the application for the very first time seems to work. Any uninstall or update after that runs into issues on the problematic Windows 7 64 bit machine. The installer logs all point the finger to Windows Installer having problems writing to the temp directory.
We've gone through many, many things trying to resolve this, including resetting administrative access to the temp directory and flushing the temp directory out entirely. I'm reporting this news secondhand, so it's not possible for me to directly relate the exact measures taken, step-by-step. The ONLY thing that reliably worked for running and installing updates on this AIR application was the following:
1) Create a new administrative level user.
2) Log in with that user.
3) Disable firewalls.
4) Run the updater.
5) Log back in as normal user, delete temporary user.
if the user account created in step 1 is not deleted in step 5 and is used to attempt a further update or uninstall, it will fail. This seems to tell me that AIR is able to utilize the temp folder via Windows Installer correctly only once. After that, it dirties this directory somehow and is unable to use/write to it, and subsequent uninstalls/updates fail with error 0.
Again, the failure all show msi issues writing to the temp directory. They result in an "Error 0" alert dialog in AIR.

Alert.Show WEIRDNESS

OK, riddle me this, Batman:
I've got a function (example attached) with a number of items
running in it (alot of setting of variables, and outputting them to
text areas and such). When I have an Alert.show call, all is well
and the variables get set and output just fine.
But when I remove or comment out the Alert.show call, the
whole thing comes to a grinding halt and variables are not set.
And here's the weird part (like the stuff above wasn't weird
enough): the Alert.show can't be a hard-coded string, it has to be
the value that one of the variables is being set to (in other
words, the original value that was saved as a variable, not he
variable itself).
I've hit this now both in Flex 3 and Flex 3 AIR
applications...
HELP! (and thanks)

I was having trouble with Alert.show and thought it was a
problem with the function, too. But it was something I was doing.
You don't say how myGameText is declared, but it seems pretty
obvious. You might want to try enclosing variables in String() when
you are passing them to functions that require strings. Like
gmDate.text=String(myGame.@date);

AIR Application freezes on startup

I've been working on a AIR project for some time and tried to
incorpoate some gestures and multitouch events into the project. When I tried to run the project, it
froze. So I created a new project that just has a simple textInput component and references a
TouchEvent, and it worked. I then copied my project to another location, stripped everything out of it, and
copy-and-pasted the working code into the shell that I created. Same problem. The application froze.
I verified that the properties were the same between the two projects, but still no success. The code
for the little test project is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
     creationComplete="initializeApp()"
     click="onClick(event)"
     width="100%" height="100%" backgroundColor="#D5D2D2"
title="Test Flash"
>
<fx:Script>
   <![CDATA[
    import mx.controls.Alert;
    import flash.ui.Multitouch;
    public function initializeApp() : void
     maximize();
    public function onTouchTap(event : TouchEvent) : void {
     Alert.show("onTouchTap method","test");
    public function onClick(event : MouseEvent) : void {
     Alert.show("onClick method","test");
   ]]>
</fx:Script>
<mx:TextInput id="upcTextInput" fontSize="14" x="10" y="10"
       visible="true"
       click="onClick(event)"
       height="36" width="100" borderStyle="solid" />
</s:WindowedApplication>
If the method onTouchTap (which is not referenced any place) is removed, both projects run.
Any clue as to what is going on?
ci-bro

Just as an update, I had my friend try the same jarfile on his Mac Mini running 10.5.6 and it worked no problem. So it must be something to do with my setup. I am extremely unfamiliar with Java and programming so any technical talk needs to be in layman's terms. Thanks again.

Right way to code an AIR application that uses sqllite database

I am developing an AIR application that uses sqllite database.I want to know the correct way in which I should create the connections and SQLstatements according to MVC pattern.For example,whether i should have a single SQLStatement object for all my sql operations or I should use separate objects for insert,delete,select etc.I know how to open connection,execute statements and all,but i want to know the professional way of writing it.

Make a controller for connect to db and save the connection in global varible (in model). Use this connection variable whenever u wanna execute the sql statements. Create seperate dao's for each table. Queries should be executed under the daos. You can call the method under the dao for execute the query from controller and show the result in view.
