Android File browser/picker with previews

Dear Adobe Community,
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to add a file browser interface with preview icons of images, videos, and/or file type icons on Android using Adobe Air? The closest I've found is a native extension from Freshplanet called AirImagePicker, but it seems to have a bug or such that makes it crash after a file is selected (esp. a non-image type file). If the extension worked as advertised, it would be a shoe-in solution for what I am trying to do. I am hopeful the collective Adobe developer community can point me in the right direction. (Again, the key being able to visually see preview of the file I am picking, not just a list of filenames, which I can do now).
thank you for any suggestions,
Alex

Jari,
After stoping and starting Apache it still does not let the android native browser recognize and download the .apk file from the database. I did notice the mimetype changed in the database row uploaded from application/x-zip-compressed to application/octet-stream after start/stop Apache.
The last thing we can see on the android browser after the user clicks to download is if flashes by quickly trying to reference ourserver.address/pls/apex_util.get_blob?s=1529869703592527&a=348&c=51564030540477032&p=9&k1=63&k2=&ck=BF8169C3C24A2EE7047306EABEAFCB1C&rt=CR
I do not know if the bug noted is causing issues or not. I do not get any error uploading the .apk file into apex if that is where the error occurs?
Any thoughts on what is happening?
Thank you,
Mark

Maybe enhancement request: File Browse item with Button in template style.

When I use a file browse item on a page it gets a standard HTML button. This looks a bit out of place among all the other template style buttons.
Is there a way to give the file browse button a template button style?

Hi Rene,
there is a nice workaround available.
You just need to create some css changes:
/* this one hides the original button + field */
input.file {
     position: relative;
     text-align: right;
     -moz-opacity:0 ;
     filter:alpha(opacity: 0);
     opacity: 0;
     z-index: 2;
}Now you have to choose which solution you like most:

Seems like a nice plug-in solution. :)

I dragged and dropped a file to iCloud with preview, but now it's gone. How do I find it?

Hi
I tried to get money4 to work with iCloud, and it told me to put the file in iCloud. I colud find any way to do it within the app so I just dragged it from the desktop to the window that pops up when you start preview. I was there for a while, but when I restarted preview it wasn't there any longer. I've used spotlight to try to see if it's still on my mac, but it's not.
So my question is, where is it? And how do I get the file back? It can't just have dissepered right?

Problem with file browse item

Hello,
I use a file browse item with storage type WWV_FLOW_ITEMS, but when I select a file, it never appears in WWV_FLOW_ITEMS.
In an earlier version of apex I had it working fine, but now nothing happens.
What am I missing?
We use apex v4.0.2 and a standalone apex-listener v1.1.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jos

Thanks VC,
But since I remain in my application to query wwv_flow_files once the file is in wwv_flow_file_objects$, how come I don't get a reply?
The workspace is still current, not?
Josquery the table wwv_flow_file_objects$ and make sure the value in SECURITY_GROUP_ID column matched with your current workspace ID

Modifying File Browse item through Javascript

I would like to modify the value of a File Browse item with javascript in my Submit button under certain circumstances. I would like to remove the file name (and path) from the File Browse field, so that the file is not automatically uploaded when the Submit button is pressed. It would seem I could "null" out the filename within the javascript function and then follow that with doSubmit ('SUBMIT'). The rest of the page values would be posted to the database, but the file would not get loaded. However, I cannot figure out how to access and modify the filename in the File Browse field with javascript. I've tried using ".value" and ".src" but to no avail. Saw a thread that says there is a bug with File Browse items in versions earlier that 2.2 (I'm using 2.0), and that you needed to fall back on the "p_t xx" notation, but I can't find any information on what that is. Appreciate any help.

I apologize for the multiple threads. The response to my initial inquiry on thread Inserting/uploading data without inserting/uploading a document was that "others" would be better equipped to help me than the initial responder, so I didn't think I was supposed to continue with that thread. (Haven't used this forum much.) I found a second thread (the one with the "p_tXX" notation, and responded to it, but wasn't sure if all older threads were still active, so I also iniitiated a thread on my own.
In response to the inquiry about why not using an after submit computation to null out the File Browse item, what I am trying to prevent is the uploading of a file to the WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECT$ table, if there is an entry in my File Browse item, when all the user really wants to do is update some data items on the main portion of the page. I have a Apply Changes button on the main data entry form, and then I also have (at my user's request) a separate form and Submit button on the page where the user may enter a file name to upload. The trouble exists when the user is only trying to modify data in the main form, but has also left an entry in the File Browse item. When the page is submitted, the data is uploaded OK, but the file is also uploaded via HTMLDB_APPLICATION_FILES, since there is an entry in the File Browse item. What I'm trying to do, is clear that File Browse item out when the user presses the main form Apply Changes button, so that the file does not get uploaded. The users want the ability to upload a file, but only when that is their direct intent. Obviously, I do not want to clear out the File Browse item under those circumstances. Hope this is clear; sometimes difficult to satisfy the users needs (whims?). Appreciate any help.

IOS File Browser

Hi, I am developing a "iOS File Browser" application With Flash Builder 4.6. Can any one help me with the flex code from which I can browse the Files in Device as well as Files in the Storage....

IOS applications operate in a sandbox. Apple doesn't want you snooping where you shouldn't be looking, grabbing data from other applications and the phone.
You are out of luck.

Resource forks show in file browser

Hi all,
When I FileIn and open the file browser, along with the files I see their resource forks (if they're still called that) - the same file name but prefixed with "._"
Is there a way to NOT see these files?
TIA

Zeb,
thanks for your reply.
I use the filter button, but I'm not aware of a wildcard that says "show me EVERYTHING BUT" the following. Remember, I want to see everything but the resource fork files.
I had a look at p374 as you suggested.
I will need a couple of weeks to try this stuff out, as I have never touched a shake pref before, but from an initial reading it looks as tho all these prefs do is set a default filter state in order to bring up specific file types. I don't want to bring up a specific file type, I may want a .mov, or a .tiff or whatever, I just don't want to see those darn resource forks in the list.
cheers

Problem opening PDF files with Preview

Occasionally I get this message when trying to open a PDF file in an email attachment:
"it may be damaged or use a file format that preview doesn't recognise"
However, when I open the same attachment on my iPad, using GoodReader it does open, so the file is not damaged.
The issue seems to be with Preview and started recently (after new Mac updates maybe).
I don't want to post the PDF file here since it's company property.
Any suggestions ?

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Psd previews in File Browser Windows XP

Hello, is there any way to have previews of psd images instead of the icons in the File Browser? (I have windows XP)
Thank you for help!

It is sad that such software doesn´t exist... But I remember when I had Photoshop 7 the previews were automatic, how come in the CS versions it isn´t possible?
My friend has just told me about the shell extension and he said it works fine. Why Adobe says that it may lead to data loss? I mean how can an extension lead to data loss? I sounds pretty scary... But on the other hand the previews would be helpful... Is there any article about this matter?
You are right that Photoshop 7 PSD files were visible as proper thumbnails.
Then the data loss problem occurred. This was attributed to a file called psicon.dll.
It never happened to me but there were definitely reported cases of it.
The file was removed from later versions of PS but along with it went the ability to view PSD files as thumbnails.
People have been complaining ever since and it seems to boil down to an incompatibility between Windows and Photoshop.
The fix to get a copy of psicon.dll and put it back in the system works, but then you run the risk of losing data again.
Since Bridge CS4 is so much improved over previous versions I now us it for browsing images.
But it's still very annoying!

Hi Anoo,
Create a report using the following SQL statement:
SELECT ID,
FILENAME,
CREATED_ON
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES
ORDER BY CREATED_ON DESCThere are other fields available from the table, but the above gives you a start.
Then edit the report's Report Attributes.
Edit the CREATED_ON column and pick a Number/Date Format to use for the display and Apply Changes
Edit the ID column. In the Column Link section, enter:
Link Text: <img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#download.gif" alt="Download">
Target: URL
URL: p?n=#ID#
Apply Changes and run your report

Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

Hi guys, hope you can help...
I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
(this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
Thanks for your help.
DAve.

maybe I'm onto something...
I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
Any more realistic ideas?

Problem with preview PDF files on Windows 7 32bit

The files are allright, but if I select a file and click on preview mode after ~ 10sec operation system write something "Preview this file is corrupt for PDF Preview Handler wrong".

On Microsoft forums wrote me, that the problem is probably with AR plugin.

Text File is not picking with data

Hi Experts,
I am doing file to file scenario without IR as file will be generated by the ECC system and places in SAP FTP App Server.
My job is to pick up the file and send it to the Third Party Application Server.
But when i am picking up the Text file the data in the file is converting into special characters like below format.
ÅÁÄÅÙ@ððððððâÖÕÄÅçöôðð@@@@@@òððùð÷ñ÷ðñ%@@@@@@@@@@@@@@òððùð÷ñ÷%ÄÅãÁÉÓ@ðððð
I have tested with other Application server with same file its working fine, but when i send the file from SAP FTP Appl server the data is converting in the above format.
Right now when i open file zilla it is opening with 3 FTP Appl Server in that suppose lets say the FTP are APP1, APP2, APP3.
1.When i send the file from APP1 through Transport Protocol NFS System the file is picking up and placing successfully in the Third Party APP3 App Server fiolder but the data in the file is converting into special charaters.
2.when i send the same file from APP2 through Transport Protocal FTP the file is picking up and placing successfully in the third party APP3 App server and here the same data is coming in the text file, there is no data conversion.
I am not getting here, when i send the file from APP1 the data is converting but when i send the same file from APP2 App srever the data is posting correctly.
And also i can give you one more info.. if i try with puting the Transport Protocal as FTP in APP1 then i am getting error in sender comm channel as 'log on attempt by User JOHN rejected' : contact your FTP server vendor.
But i think for sending the file from SAP Appl Server we can use TP as NFS rather than FTP.
And also i can give one more info: The Version is the ECC system is using the 4.6c for which there is no compatability for unicodes.
Can anyone please advise what would be the wrong.
Appreciate your inputs
Thanks,
Bhaskar

Hi,
Reason because file is not picked up.
>'log on attempt by User JOHN rejected' : contact your FTP server vendor.
clearly user/password for this FTP server or system is not correct. Get correct userid/password for your Application server where you are trying to poll.
>The Version is the ECC system is using the 4.6c for which there is no compatability for unicodes
File transfer is nothing to unicode here.

When I try to open some pictures in finder with preview I get a message that I do not have permission to open it. It tells me to go to file - info. Don't know what to do from there.

When I try to open some pictures in finder with preview I get a message that I do not have permission to open it. It tells me to go to file - info. Don't know what to do from there.

When you do Get Info for a picture, what does it say in Sharing & Permissions for your username. The Privilege should be "Read & Write"

I'm trying to share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I have tried several times to save at 1080 HD, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying "File already open with write permission." What's this mean?

I'm trying to finalize/share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I'd like to finalize it 1080 hd and have tried several times, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying it can't be done because "File already open with with write permission." What does this mean? All files are closed; this iMovie project is the only thing open. Does it mean one of the song files from iTunes? And should I just settle for saving it as a "large" file, which is what I'm trying right now?
Thanks,
