Android menu from adobe air

Hi everyone,
Maybe this the wrong place for this, or I'm dumb, but could someone explain to me, or give me a link to somewhere that can explain how I can give my android app I wrote in flash a menu in android?
If this is not possible, I'm sorry to waste anyones time!
Thanks,

Well I understand people’s complaints, one of the most popular Android phones HTC Desire has 576MB internal space when in effect you only have around 150MB to play with. And if cache from all of your apps is stored on that memory and there are many apps that can't be moved on a SD card then you run out of memory very quickly. Adobe AIR is 16.98 MB and Flash Player is 12MB and both for obvious reasons can't be moved on SD card... I own Desire and I can see out of space message very often.
So at least we as developers need to remember to leave the users with option to install on SD - that will also increase chances that if the users are bored with our application they won't remove it because it takes their precious space but they will move it on SD card because there is plenty of space there.
Just to remind how to make an AIR app moveble on SD: add <manifest android:installLocation="auto"> to your <android><manifest additions>.

Sharing image URL on Twitter from Adobe AIR Desktop

Hi All,
Does anyone has worked with sharing image URL on Twitter from Adobe AIR Desktop. I am able to post data but with multiple libraries still not able to post images over twitter. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Can you help ?
I can't use scout because my other systems are 32 bit and it doesn't seem to be working with them.
The problem seems to come from the fullscreen mode from adobe air since in windowed mode it runs smoothly (even on a 7 years old notebook).
I even have 3 different rendering options in fullscreen and all of them are lagging (no scale, show all, exact fit). Not sure what the issue can be when even the no scale mode lags, so i'm guessing it's related to the fullscreen.interactive mode of air.
edit: Or not.
I managed to get it run smoothly by using CPU mode as renderer option for adobe air.
Not sure what the issue was with direct but i will test it some more (on the other computers as well) and will get back to you.
edit²: it only helped on one computer. The mac still has big slowdowns in fullscreen and the core2duo now has screen tearing with that option.
edit^3: I tried using the fullScreenSourceRect on the stage for hardware scaling. It seems to run smoothly. Sadly, everything is a bit blurry with it and i can't chose other rendering options (no scale or exact fit), those don't work anymore with the sourcerect.
I would like to be able to use the hardware scaling and change the aspect ratio, is that possible ?

Any News from Adobe Air SDK, on why we still can't REMOVE "android.permission.INTERNET" from a release compile?

Is there any new developments on the Adobe Air issue, of being able to COMPLETELY REMOVE the "android.permission.INTERNET" from the manifest file? As of today, you can still completely remove the "android.permission.INTERNET" from the manifest, bundle your app with Captive Runtime, and Adobe Air SDK will still "tack" the permission onto the end of the manifest block. With users and privacy concerns these days, surely Adobe would recognize that developers building apps that DO NOT REQUIRE Network Access, should be able to remove that permission. Any help on this?

I see Flash will now be able to export iPhone apps directly. Although Flash itself will still not run on the iPhone. It would be great if Director had that functionality a well. Even better if apps could run on both the iPhone and Blackberry!

Android - must install adobe air?

Hi, in the previous version of AIR - in order to run AIR apps on android you had to install Adobe AIR from the market, separately, which sucked
is this still the case in 2.6? anyone found a way to bundle your apk with the air so the user doesnt need to install 2 things?
this is really non professional if u ask me

Flash CS5 extensions for android unavailable from adobe?? anyone know solution

Hello, I'm totally new to developing apps for android and am just getting started in flash CS5. According to most tutorials that I can find on the web I need to install an extension from adobe.
see this tutorial
Creative Sweet TV - Publish to Android 2.2 from Adobe Flash CS5 | Adobe TV
However, when I go to adobe's site they say that the extension isn't available anymore and will be integrated with their new version of Flash!!!!
Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Extension for Adobe AIR 2.5 - Adobe Labs
I just bought a new Mac to run CS5 and can't believe that now it looks like I'll have to upgrade my software, at more expense, in order to do something that was possible only a short time ago!!
Does anyone have any information on this problem?

Hi All,
Why don't Adobe leave the extension up there until they roll out the new version of FP?
To Adobe,
That's no good!
Adobe (and your awesome staff), on a whole I think you do a great job and obviously most of us love your tools.
I don't post on these forums much, but I've been a member since 2002 (and certianly read a lot of posts).
The software hasn't been out in Oz for 12 months yet, so how do you expect people to start leveraging the new features and expand if you make it cost prohibitive and have to upgrade to the next full version (well before it's release), by subsequently taking down the value added components that the customer base obviously want / need / and appreciate. (my assumption is that when you say 'release' you are talking about full release and not simply an online update).
In helenthegreat_2011 case you have obviously alienated a recent customer that was after functionality you advertise, by promoting the diversity and flexibility of you tools, and reading recent posts it doesn't seem isolated.
I expect new developers would have at least 6 months lead time before a new version rolls out (the common 18 months version gap) and that's potentially 6 months of existing Adobe customers developing with that platform in mind, (and cementing a stronger client base using your tools to develop for Android).
So essentially the devs that have the extension currently are the only ones that are able to use FP to develop Android apps, and Adobe have locked the rest of the customer base out, mandating that they will need to purchase the next version of FP to be able to do this. .
Can Adobe please clarify what your customers are supposed to do in the mean time / or do you have an alternative for us?
What was the reason it was taken down? Was it unstable, or was it up to simply test, gauged interest, and try to profit maximise by pushing the functionality to a new release.
To quote your page "The extension for Flash Pro CS5 to deploy applications to the Android platform will no longer be available. This feature is being rolled into the next release for Adobe Flash Professional. Please check http://www.adobe.com for latest news and information about the availability of the next version of our Creative Suite products."
And that's all it says (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashpro_extensionforair/) Could we please either have the extension back, or at least a bit more of an explanation other than "Pay out a few more thousand dollars and you can have the functionality - but you'll have to wait until we release it first."
Here's the rub...
Personally, 4 months ago I spent just under $4,000 (AU$) to purchase CS5 Master Collection.
I wont be waiting until Adobe release FP CS6 to be able to develop for Android devices, I'll be investing the time to find alternate development environments (such as Unity3D http://unity3d.com/unity/publishing/android) and ditching the plans of using Fash for Android dev.
If you're going to arbitrarily take down the tools that extend the functionality of your product, then at least spend the time taking down all the Adobe articles, tutorials, videos, etc on your site that promote it as an availble functionality.
Unless we're missing something or there is an aloternative, on the face of it, I think it's poor form Adobe.
Regards
Chris

How to print from Adobe AIR with on the iPad?

Is it possible to print from an Adobe AIR app on the iPad? I've searched and I know PrintJob won't work. Is there another way to print? I'm developing in Flash CS5.5 and have Flash web app that already prints using PrintJob.

Has anyone seen an example of how to create one for printing? I need this functionality for Android and iOS.

Calling Java APIs from Adobe AIR Front End

HI ,
I have developed an desktop application entirely in java.
Currently it is console based, but i am planning to have a UI for the same in Adobe Flex.
I wanted to know how do I communicate between the two, ie call methods that are defined in my java classes from AIR and return results to Adobe AIR.
There is no server involved.
I want to keep Adobe AIR as front end and Java as back end which will take care of the business logic .
Thanks and Regards,
Santoshi

The best way is probably to use the NativeProcess APIs available in AIR 2 (now in Beta).
Next, would be to use sockets to communicate between the two processes. In AIR 1.5, it is difficult to guarantee that both processes are running, at least when controlling thins from the AIR side rather than the Java side. In AIR 2, you can start other processes, so this is also easier.
There are some 3rd party tools, like Merapi, that help you pass objects between Java and AIR, too.

Cannot connect to stratus from adobe air 1.5???

Hi,
I have tried this code from flash actionscript 3 and it connected to stratus and the event netConnectionHandler was called . When I cutted and pasted it to ADOBE AIR 1.5 and tested it. Nothing happened. Did I forget something to make it to work in Adobe Air 1.5?
Thanks
var netConnection:NetConnection;
var ns:NetStream;
          netConnection = new NetConnection();
    netConnection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netConnectionHandler);
    netConnection.connect("rtmfp://stratus.adobe.com/8a5434f1fe6ca34eb1b1cc79-d3498defa7ba");
function netConnectionHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void{
    trace(event.info.code);

Following code can work well in AIR1.5.
Perhaps you developer key is wrong,it is '8a5434f1fe6ca34eb1b1cc79-d3498defa7ba',not '8a5434f1fe6ca34eb1b1cc79-d3498 defa7ba'.
Please check it.
stratusPath="rtmfp://stratus.adobe.com/8a5434f1fe6ca34eb1b1cc79-d3498defa7ba/";
myNC=new NetConnection();
myNC.client=this;
myNC.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,stratusStatus);
myNC.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,securityError);
myNC.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR,asyncError);
myNC.connect(stratusPath);

Dynamic datasets from Adobe AIR

Hello,
I'm trying to port a Spry application to Adobe AIR, and ran
into a few problems, the main source of which is AIR's not being
able to parse PHP files.
My spry datasets are dynamic, generated from a mysql
database.
I have the php file on my domain.
Since spry doesn't let you access datasources on a different
domain, how would I go about accessing them from my AIR
Application?
thanks,
Maquelly

thanks for the reply.
my first message, as it turns out, is invalid:
The reason my dataset wasn't working in AIR was because I had
forgotten to include the xpath.js file.
turns out that when Spry runs on AIR, it bypasses all the
cross-domain restrictions, making me one happy programmer.
=)

Will there be future support from Adobe AIR for Desktop native Applications

We have a desktop native application developed using Flex SDK 4.1 and running on Adobe AIR. Now as Adobe has donated Flex SDk to Apache we are concerned about the future of this application. If we rescale our application with new versions of Flex SDk released by Apache, in future will the new versions of Adobe AIR support it? As I have read in Adobe Forums that Adobe is more concentrated on providing HTML5 support in Adobe AIR, and not working for Flex support anymore, can we face any problems going forward with this combination?

Sending email from Adobe AIR

Hi,
Does Adobe AIR have the ability to send automatically
generated email messages without using the mailto: command to open
an Outlook or Mail Application? I basically am looking for a way to
allow a user to compose messages within an Adobe AIR application
and when they press a send button in the application it sends the
message to the appropriate email address.
If Adobe AIR can't handle this as a standalone application
what would you recommend as a work around?
Thanks for your advice and time in advance.
--Nick

I'm pretty sure the way to do it is to contact a web service
and have that send the email.

Printing from Adobe AIR using Reader/Acrobat.

I have a product created using Adobe AIR.
I have a portion where a pdf is loaded into a window, and
they print it. When we change what paper they are going to print on
(different dimensions), it does not take effect.
We have to load it in a native PDF application (Acrobat) and
change the settings, then print the piece off again.
This is horrible for efficiency.
Has anyone had this problem?
Help!
Andrew

Hi,
If your PDF has embedded javascript, your AIR application can
talk to this javascript function where you can call the Print()
method.
Take a look at
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/scripting_pdf.html
Make sure you set the location of HTML control to a HTML file
(which has the object tag pointing to a PDF) using file:/// url
scheme. I remember a bug where if you point to it using the app://
or you don't specify any scheme, scripting between PDF and AIR
won't work.
