Android AIR app stops unexpectedly during debugging/running on device

FlashBuilder 4.5.1, AIR 2.6, device: HTC Wildfire S. The problem occurs everytime I try run a mobile app- just the Android error view. Please help

Hi,
go first here and do check-list:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS144092a96ffef7cc16ddeea2126bb46b82f-8000.html
it lists supported/non-supported/check-at-runtime features - as you could use a feature that is not supported at your device (application could work in Air/Flash Builder device emulator though)
What is happening in your application when it starts? Does it load video/audio or does request to local or remote content?
regards,
Peter

Gps stop working during the run

I've purchased my SW3 mainly due to GPS stand alone.
unfortunately it stops work during the run or just about 10 minutes after has started.
I've tried My tracks , Run Keeper IFit outside and all of them happen the same .
could you fix this ?

You need to download Google's My Tracks app and it will sync to your phone. Once you do just go down to my tracks and select run, and once it locks you'll see that location icon in the top left corner of watch showing that it has GPS lock

Error message "The process com. android phone has stopped unexpectedly."

I keep receiving this error message on my phone all of a sudden. I recentely purchased it online with Verizon Wireless. How can I get it to stop?
"The process com. android phone has stopped unexpectedly."
Thanks

Great suggestion Wildman! Thanks!
simplyk1, so sorry you are experiencing this with your new device. I am happy to further assist.
Wildman gave a great suggestion, I would like to add if you noticed this particular error message after downloading a specific application(s), uninstall the application. I am including a link with instructions and screen shots for uninstalling applications below:
Uninstall Applications - Samsung Fascinate a Galaxy S phone
Also ensure your device is running the latest software version. The current Build number should read: SCH-I500.ED05, if not update the device software.
Software Update: Samsung Fascinate
Please let me know how this works out for you!

Needed. Android Air app to watch live FMS video stream.

Does anyone have an Android Air app that can be used to watch a live video stream from Flash Media Server?
I've been trying to get our live stream viewable on Android devices and can't find any solutions.
Thanks,
Dave

Hey, I am having the same issue. Did you find a solution?

AC100 - the process android.process.acore stopped unexpectantly

Our AC100 suffers from frequent and annoying messages: the process android.process.acore stopped unexpectantly (well it is said in Dutch, so I hope the translation is right). After googeling I have found many people with the same problems (but for other devices than a computer from Toshiba), and it seems that the only solution is resetting the original settings (after making a back-up).
But since all downloaded widgets and applications will be gone then, I am looking for another possibility. Does anyone have experience with this message? How did you solve the problem?
And who knows how this problems starts?

Hi
I would also recommend setting the Android back to factory settings. The widget could be saved on external source before setting the notebook to factory settings.

"com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" error

I have the first motorola droid that came out(A855). I keep getting this error message on my phone "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" Gives me the option to force close or report. I have the latest software update(Droid 2.2). I have tried everything to fix this problem, reboot and take the battery out, cut off the cdma signals. I have did the factory data reset on it and the hard reset and it still did not go away. I think it is a bug in the software but not for sure. Do I need to send it to motorola to get it repaired are something? I can receive phone calls and make calls but as soon as I do the error pops up. I can send text messages but cant receive them. Please, anyone, Help Me Fix This Problem, Thanks

Take it back to verizon, you have a 1 year warranty, they will make you jump through the hoops, including doing another factory reset, but you should be able to get a replacement.

3D Android Air Apps

Hi everyone I am currently part of a group of students which is creating an Android Air Application.
We have been doing pretty well so far (we are creating a game which is a periscope simulator) but getting 3d models in the app has been a bit troubling.
We have been using 3dsMax for the models and using Swift3D in order to convert the file to swf. We then rendered the ship and exported to .swf and then added it to the project in flashbuilder and then used SWFLoader to add it to the app. When we use the emulator the ship which we rendered appears perfectly but when we create the apk and put it on our phone (HTC EVO 4G) the only thing that appears is an old school image not able to be shown image.
First off we have been doing lots of research on what we could do with the 3d models and everyone has told us that we have to convert them to an .swf in order get in the 3d model because their is no other way to get it in. Is this true or do we really have to use swift3d? Others have suggested that we use some of flashes game engines but would any of these even be compatible with adobe air?
All we really need to do is import the 3d model then be able to randomly generate its location on the screen as well as its viewing angle. Our application is never actually moving its just providing a still image which is randomly chosen from the 360 degree view of the ship.
If anyone has any advice we would really appreciate it. At this point we are not really sure what we should do.

I've not tried any Swift3D but have run some Papervision3D stuff in AIR on Android. Seems fairly happy but I'm only pushing around simple planes (card game) so the load isn't particularly heavy - more complex models might start to grind it. Seems to benefit well from GPU acceleration so keep that in mind. From your description though it sounds as though you're not going to be rendering high fps, which is the real killer, so this may be perfect for your app.
On PV3D against Alternativa, (broad statement warning) I think it's generally agreed that PV3D is fast, Alternativa is more precise. PV3D being optimised for speed may be key on Android devices - depends what you're trying to do, but with PV3D you will probably sacrifice some more accurate z-sorting that Alternativa can provide. Personally I'd test both to see pros and cons - it's going to be on a case by case basis.
If you've got a more recent version of Swift3D, I believe you can export to a PV3D scene quickly and easily with no knowledge of that engine. Think it's one of the publish options (v6+ ?). So presumably you can run a PV3D test on your app with little effort and you can take it from there. If it's all z-fighting issues on your models, give it a go with Alternativa.

Displaying PDF content in Android Air app - how?

Hi, I'm fairly new to developing Air apps for mobile devices. I'm looking to have my app display PDF files and can't find a dfinitive way of doing it. I've read that using the StageWebView would be the way to do it.
Here's the relevant part of my code (PDF path changed):
if (StageWebView.isSupported)
currentState = "normal";
webView.stage = stage;
webView.viewPort = new Rectangle(20, 100, 450, 450);
webView.addEventListener(LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGE,onURLChange);
webView.loadURL("http://path.to.my.pdf");
addEventListener(ViewNavigatorEvent.REMOVING,onRemove);
else {
currentState = "unsupported";
lblSupport.text = "StageWebView feature not supported";
Its working up until the point of actually displaying the PDF content, I get nothing (blank screen).
I'm using Flash Builder 4.5 / Air 2.6 and debugging on a Motorola Xoom tablet. Adobe Reader is installed on the device.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Solved.
For some reason I couldn't access the HTMLLoader object outside of the function that initialised it, despite the fact that I was listening for EVENT_COMPLETE.
Basically, to get round this bug, just put all the initialise and load code in the same function and you should be laughing.

Several apps stopped working -- won't run

Macbook 2GHz 2GB
OSX 10.4.10
Hi all,
Today I've had several apps stop working -- meaning, when I run them, their icon will bounce a couple times and then disappear, and the program never runs.
Googling led me to try deleting pref files -- one program had a pref file, I deleted it but no difference. The other apps didn't have any pref files.
I've repaired disk permissions. I've uninstalled/reinstalled each program.
I've been using them with no problems until today. The Macbook did try a software update today, but kernel panicked in the middle of installing -- not sure if that could cause it. I've tried Software Update again but it finds nothing.
Any help will be VERY much appreciated. I've never had this happen before, and can't seem to find much about it.
Thank you!

Tutorial: What to do when a Mac OS X application will not launch
It’s a frustrating scenario: You click on a regularly used application only to find that it will not launch – either bouncing indefinitely in the Mac OS X Dock or simply providing no feedback whatsoever. There are a number of potential solutions for this problem, ranging from simple and relatively quick to more tedious.
Update prebinding Many cases of application launch-failure can be resolved easily by simply updating prebinding, via the following steps:
1. Log in as an administrator
2. Open the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities)
3. Type: sudo update_prebinding -root / -force and press Return.
4. When prompted for a password, enter your admin password, and press Return again. The process may take a few minutes, and you may see various messages flash by. The process is complete when the Terminal returns to a normal prompt.
5. Type exit and press Return.
6. Check for the capability to launch the problematic application.
Kill process in activity monitor Killing an application-related process via Activity Monitor (click the item then press the 'Quit Process' button) can allow proper application launch. This is especially applicable in situations where a restart cures problems with application launching, as the offending process(es) will, of course, be killed by the restart process.
Launch Activity Monitor (located in Applications/Utilities), then find the process associated with the problematic application, then quit it and attempt re-launching the applications.
Delete appropriate .plist files A non-launching application can be the result of a corrupt or otherwise defunct associated .plist file (for more information on exactly what a .plist file is, see this series of articles)
Most of the preferences files that we will be talking about are stored in a folder named Preferences, and located in the Library folder of your home directory, e.g.:
* ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.
Go to the ~/Library/Preferences folder, and search for any .plist files that may be associated with the application you are having trouble with. Drag the .plist file(s) [many applications have more than one associated .plist file, so be careful to scour for all of them] to the Desktop, then re-attempt launching the application.
You can also use an application like Preferential Treatment to check for corrupt .plist files.
Re-install the application Try re-installing your application from its original media or download source.
If an Apple application or component is not launching properly, you might need to restore it from the Apple installation discs per the instructions in our tutorial "Re-installing Apple applications from a Mac OS X disc/update package using Pacifist."
Clearing caches Try using a utility like Tiger Cache Cleaner, OnyX, or Cocktail to perform series of system cache deletion routines. Go from light, to medium to deep (the ordinal levels are defined differently in each application), checking to see if your afflicted application launches properly after each.
Also, check the following folder for application-specific cache files that can be deleted, or at least temporarily removed:
/Library/Application Support (look inside the folders here for files that end with .cache, and delete them)
Make sure permissions are correct A range of permissions issues can effect Mac OS X applications, causing them not to launch.
In these cases, the first thing to try is a disk permissions repair routine using Apple's Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities).
Failing that, startup from your Mac OS X installation disc (insert it, then restart while holding down the "C" key). After the startup process is complete, go to the "Utilities" menu and select Disk Utility. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button.
In some odd cases (usually after a backup or when transferring backed up data back to a startup device), permissions on the "MacOS" directory (the directory that normally stores the executable binary in a Mac OS X application) can become incorrect.
In order to fix this problem, use the following steps:
1. Click on the afflicted application to select it in the Finder
2. Either click the application while holding the control key, or use the "Action" menu (the icon looks like a gear) to access the option "Show Package Contents"
3. Open the "Contents" folder therein, and then find the "MacOS" folder
4. Modify the permissions on this folder to give it "execute" permissions for all users. Do this by opening the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities) and typing the following command (don't press return afterward):
5. sudo chmod 755
6. After typing this, drag the "MacOS" folder to the Terminal window -- its path should appear. Press return, and you will be prompted for your administrator password, which you should enter.
The "MacOS" directory should now have read, write and execute priveleges for the owner, and read and execute privileges for the group and others.
Check CoreAudio As noted in Knowledge Base article #301658, some Apple applications might not open fully or at all if the Digidesign Core Audio driver has been installed as part of a Pro Tools version 6.9 installation.
Apple says to follow these steps if you are affected by this issue:
* Updating your Digidesign Core Audio driver may resolve the issue. You can find the latest versions for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) at http://digidesign.com/download/coreaudio. If that doesn't help, continue to step 2.
* Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities).
* Click the Audio Devices tab.
* From the Default Output pop-up menu, choose Built-in Audio.
Check for errant plug-ins Some application launch failures can be caused by problematic plug-ins or other add-ons. Safari and other Web browsers are notorious for suffering from this issue, as are some other extensible applications like iMovie.
Check the following locations for any recently added files, or any files implicated in error messages generated when you attempt to launch the problematic application:
* /Library/Internet Plug-ins
* ~/Library/InputManagers
Re-apply the Mac OS X combo updater Try re-applying the latest Mac OS X combo updater from Apple's software downloads page. Doing so can resolve issues with system components or delete specific files that can resolve application launching issues.
Create a new user account Try creating a new user account, and check if the application launches under it. If so, a user-specific corruption issue is likely at play -- see the above sections regarding .plist files and caches. See our tutorial "Common workaround -- create a new user account" for more information.
Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing an Archive and Install process, which will retain some user settings but otherwise leave you with a fresh Mac OS X installation.
Also, check with the application's developer for compatibility notes regarding the version of Mac OS X you are running, and revert to an earlier iteration if necessary.

Can I update my Android AIR app with a non-AIR app?

A few years ago I published an Android app using Adobe AIR. Now I've created a new version of the app with a different technology (HaxeFlixel / OpenFL) which uses native C++ code.
The certificate I used for the AIR version is in "p12" format, and it seems that I need to use "jks" format. I tried using a p12 to jks converter I found online, which seemed to work, but when I try to submit the app I get an error saying that the certificates don't match.
Any suggestions on how I can update the app with a non-AIR app? Is it possible? Thanks in advance.

I'm still having trouble with this, I asked in the OpenFL forums but nobody responded.
I converted the p12 file to JKS from the site you suggested (I think I've actually tried it before), and the file was created successfully, the apk compiled fine with the JKS file, but when I try to update the app for Google Play it says "Upload failed
You uploaded an APK that is signed with a different certificate to your previous APKs. You must use the same certificate. Your existing APKs are signed with the certificate(s) with fingerprint(s):"
When I try to sign with the original p12 file, I get the error "Invalid keystore format"
I noticed that for the AIR app, I also had a file called SelfSigned.pfx, which I think was used to create the p12 certificate? Can this have something to do with the problem? I even tried using this pfx file to sign the app, which didn't work either.

My apps stopped unexpectedly

Days ago, I opened camera to take picture, it has stopped unexpectedly. I tried it again and again, it's stopped when I took a picture. I had to restart the phone to make it back to normal.
Today, I opened Instagram to take picture to post and again, it's been stopped unexpectedly. I tried 3 more times and the same thing has happened!
I had to restart the phone to make it back to normal.
In both situations, I checked that I had already ended any background processses.

Hi jimblr,
Sorry you are having trouble. Does your printer show up "Connected and Ready" in ePrintcenter?
These steps may help. Turn off the printer. Unplug your router from the power source for 15 seconds. Plug the router back in. Wait until the internet comes back up. (Approximately 2 minutes) Then turn the printer back on wait a bit for your pending apps to print. Let me know if this helps.

Flash CC - Publish iOS/Android AIR App stuck at 5 seconds

I have a few Flash made apps, I've published them to my devices before, but now I can't. Flash get's stuck at 5 seconds. Flash freezes, I can't cancel.
Any suggestions?

I would recommend to use "Captive".
Difference is pretty simple...
Shared Basically means that it compiles the "apk" without the Adobe AIR runtime, resulting in a smaller file size apk but REQUIRES users to have the "Adobe AIR App" installed.
Captive means that it compiles the "apk" with the Adobe AIR runtime, resulting in a larger file size apk but DOES NOT REQUIRE users to have the "Adobe AIR App" installed.
If you want to Guarantee everyone can run your app, use captive. If you want to rely on users to hope the have the correct version of AIR installed to view your app, use Shared.

Is there no way to direct an AIR app's audio to different audio output devices?

I'm needing to make a couple of our AIR apps select certain audio devices to send their audio output to, and last year, somebody mentioned possibly using native extensions to do this. I had to start working on other things for a while, but I've come back to this (for the moment), and I've basically learned how to create native extensions.
But so far, they don't seem to provide me any special access to anything going on under the hood of an AIR app. When you stream live audio in through RTMP or RTMFP, the details of the audio are hidden from you. There doesn't appear to be any place where you can actually access the audio bytes that are being sent over the wire. You can specify a certain SoundTransform object for the NetStream to use, but that class is final and a vanilla Flash construct, so even if it may have a way to access the audio bytes, they're not acessible at all.
It really looks like, when a NetStream object starts streaming in live audio, there is no way under the sun to access the audio bytes and direct them to a certain audio output device, with or without extensions. Is this so? It would be unfortunate if Adobe didn't allow this, even through native extensions. Thanks.

Couple quick thoughts..
Limits are important. There's a large amount of work done to keep a clear separation between a users decision and a developers decision. For instance, you can't change a users default audio output because that clearly violates a users decision. That said, here's a whole mess of people debating the issue and actually eventually an undocumented COM API you can find that will actually let you do it in Vista/Win7 (but not 8), however don't expect that to be a 'good thing to do':
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9ebd7ad6-a460-4a28-9de9-2af63fd4a13e/programatica lly-setting-the-default-playback-device-and-recording-device?forum=windowspro-audiodevelop ment
You might want to get a beverage before reading that.
Aside that, RTMP is secured, which is why you can't gain access to the bytes. The entire purpose of it is to assure media developers that their media can't easily be copied/stolen. Adobe doesn't document their method of securing streams but they do publish the RTMP specification. It's entirely possible for you to create your own RTMP server and encryption method while delivering a RTMP stream to custom client that you code yourself which can read the stream. Here's the spec:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp.html
So I'd say it would be unfortunate if Adobe did give you access to the bytes. You might as well just hand users a mp3 of whatever song is playing because they would steal media left and right.
That isn't to say you can't use a multitude of ways of getting the data going across the default output device. Plenty of apps (fraps/etc) capture video and mixed audio streams. But Adobe isn't going to give you the keys to the kingdom and let you decrypt their protected media protocol.

Android Air App using AdMob "NULL Object" Error?!?

Hi,
I am currently developing an app using adobe air flashbuilder and I have incorporated AdMob type html adverts into it. The Adverts do come up nicely however if I run the app in debug mode I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at model::AdMob/createAd()[C:\Users\Jack\Documents\Dropbox\Projects\App\App Final\src\model\AdMob.as:37]

Mouse clicks not working on published air app, works fine when debugging/testing

So I have an issue where when debugging my Air application, it runs fine and mouse clicks work and everything. When I publish the application and install it, it plays fine but clicking does nothing.
We have an older version which is working when we publish it and we're trying to add things in one step at a time, but I figured I'd see if anyone else has had this issue. A bit frustrating.
Thanks!

FIXED!!!!
We're using Dropbox to share files and it turns out that two people having project open at same time is a bad idea when doing final publish! It creates conflict files and effects the final package or something of that nature.
Glad we got that one figured out!
