Android multitasking issue

Hello guys and gals,
I have an app that has audio which loops. When the user switchs to the launch screen on android (whats it called?) or to another app, my audio still plays. I don't want this. Is there a way of preventing this behavior? Kind of like suspend on app switch sort of thing....
-Scott

This should not be nessisary. In Ios, when I switch to the launch screen my app suspends. This is what I want it to do. When in android I return to the launch screen my app continues to play. I do not want this.
I sure don't want to have to suspend my program one timer at a time. I can have dozens of timers. If I have to I will quit the application. But this is just rediculous.

Android kitkat issue in loading swf file from device. URL found but not working

Hi,
I am facing one issue from a very long time regarding file access in Android Kitkat version 4.4.*. I have developed Adobe Air player application for android and it is working as expected below kitkat version but not on kitkat.
I am following this methods -
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, onInvoke);
public function onInvoke(event:InvokeEvent):void
                                    var newFile:String = String(event.arguments[0]);
                                    trace("Received new file from Android: "+newFile)
Received URL form device in Android Kitkat -
/storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Animation/27 031_1_Welcome screen.swf
file:////storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Anim ation/27031_1_Welcome screen.swf
                - Loading this URL using loader class in AS3 AIR but not working.
file%3A///storage/emulated/0/.iProfData/swf/playListFiles/ContentCreation/Ma_V2_522/en/Ani mation/27031_1_Welcome%20screen.swf
       - Have used also by doing escape character but still it is not working showing file not found both SWF and mp4 case. (Mp4 case NetStream.Play.FileNotFound)
By using the above methods I can have swf or mp4 video url but when I am loading it, It is not working giving error message "File not found/ IO Error". I have read that if use escape character then it will work but I have used escape character also but it is not working.
Humble request you to please advise how can I solve this issue.
Best regards,
Sunil Kumar

Starting in KitKat, Google requires that applications have permission to access files on the system. You must specifically add either the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions in order to access files. Adding either one of those permissions should let you read/access files on the device. Prior to KitKat, you didnt have to have these permissions listed in the manifest to access files.

Android Deployment Issue

Hi,
I've been trying to deploy an Android application to my Asus TF101 for testing and I cannot get past the following error:
Error occurred while packaging the application:

Flash Builder recognizes my device connected via USB. I get the same result when I attempt instead to comile a release build. Here is the code from the Android section of my application descriptor xml file:

It's pretty much the default content that Flash Builder creates for you when starting a new mobile application.
My Dev environment:
MacBook Pro
OS X Mountain Lion
Flash Builder 4.7 Beta
Asus Transformer TF101
I should note that the same application and descriptor file compile and deploy perfectly to iOS Simulator and actual iOS devices. Any ideas???
Thank You,
M. McConnell

More info:
I installed FB 4.7 on one of my Windows VMs, imported the mobile project from my Mac and it successfully compiled and deployed to Android.
When I initially installed FB 4.7 on the Mac, I overlaid Air SDK 3.4 into the Flex 4.6 SDK in FB 4.7 so that I could take advantage of iOS emulator support. I figure this may have hosed something about the Android build process. To test the theory, I added the original Flex 4.6 SDK (which I'd backed up before overlaying Air 3.4) back to the FB 4.7 configuration and selected it as the SDK for my mobile project. I then changed the name space back to Air 3.1 (from 3.4) in the app.xml file. It successfully built an APK file for Android. The problem seems to be with the Air 3.4 framework. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround or configuration setting I need to update to use Air 3.4 with Android?
Thank You,

AIR for Android video issue

On Android, in an app that I’ve developed successfully for iOS, I’m seeing this problem:
There are 5 videos built-into the app. On Samsung phones (S3 and S4), running Android 4.4.2, at the first attempt to play a video there’s sound but no picture. After returning to the video menu and attempting again, video and sound play normally. If a video is stopped and another one is started, initially a frame of the previous video is displayed (for a fraction of a second), then play resumes normally with the chosen video.
The sound-but-no-video problem does NOT show up on a Nexus 7 running 4.4.3, although the flash-frame problem does.
I’m publishing with AIR SDK 15 packaging both with and without captive runtime to try to isolate the source of the problem. I’m using <contains video> true </contains video> in the descriptor.
This feels like AIR-for-Android buggishness. Any confirmation out there? Similar problems? Workarounds?
I’ve read somewhere that AIR runtime v.3.3 may solve some video problems on Android, but not sure where to find an archived Android version of AIR that old.

Well, as it sometimes happens with me, I have spoken too soon. The answer that I marked as ‘correct’ the other day (Colin, are you there?), seems to be not quite the right answer. At least, it doesn’t solve the video problem that I’m having with some, but not all, Android devices.
After trying Colin’s suggestion – using if (stage.stageVideos.length != 0) to make sure that a stageVideoAvailabilityEvent hasn’t already fired when I try to play my first StageVideo instance – and getting perfect results in 10 consecutive tries on my Samsung S4 and S3 phones, I figured that was IT.
Next day, same devices and same code, it DIDN’T work! I pulled hair, issued profanities, hammered on the table. It didn’t matter—I still got a ‘mis-fire’ on the first play of a video whenever (almost whenever) I opened the app. After the first play everything was good – which is the exact problem that I started with many days ago. When I played Colin’s Sesame Street ‘Let’s Get Ready’ app again – the same first-play-of-video problem shows up there too.
This problem does not show up on Nexus 7 and the Samsung Galaxy 5 Tab. It is a royal p.i.t.a. on Samsung phones, where I need my app to work.
I created a bare-bones app to reproduce the problem, code below. Just a single class to play a single video with no controls. A few parameters (path to the video, and viewport stuff) are passed in from the document Class. I run it 10 times on my S4. It fails 7 times and plays well 3 times. The 'initialize2()' function never fires, proving that the stageVideos array already exists by the the time the 'initialize1()' function is called.
I'm pretty sure that this is not a coding problem (because it works well on some Androids and in iOS), but WHAT is it??

Android viewer issues

With the latest version of the Android viewer I've noticed two things:
1 - When I quit the app and re-open it I see the "Sign In" text in the upper left. I tap it once and there is no change, I tap it a second time and it pops up with the box for entering a username and password. With previous versions of the content viewer I don't remember having to sign-in every time I quit and restarted the app. It almost seems as if I'm already signed in after restarting, however the text says "Sign In' instead of "Sign Out".
2 - I've successfully updated a folio for the iPad and it downloaded only the changed article. However when trying to update the same article for Android I got the "can't find files/article..." message so I had to delete that article and import it fresh. I did that, entered the metadata, and dragged it to its proper place in the order of articles. I then saw the update notice on the Xoom for that folio and tapped the view button and the update progress bar was only on screen for a couple of seconds for an article that was approximately 40MB. I viewed the folio and the update hadn't been made, the article looked the same. I then deleted and re-imported all the articles for that folio and the same thing happened, an update available notice but an extremely quick update. I gave it 10-15 minutes in case the server was just slow to see the updates and it didn't make a difference. No update notice after waiting, so I deleted and imported the first article again with the same results, the article didn't actually update. I then tried downloading the whole folio fresh onto my Droid X and it was successful with the changed articles being displayed correctly.
Has anyone else noticed the strange Sign In behavior with the Android viewer? Will the client be forced to tell everyone updating this folio on an Android device to tap the Archive button and re-download before they can get the updated articles? This was what I had to do to correctly see the updated articles on our Xoom.
Andrew

Trying to get it to work on the target device (in our case the Xoom) is the best way to understand the current Android viewer limitations.
The one's I'm most aware of (the last time I checked) are:
- no inline videos, you must play videos full screen
- the in-app viewer (Open in Folio) won't play youtube videos correctly, you must use "Open in Device Browser"
- HTML articles and web views are not up to the iPad version's capabilities
- PDF formatted folios/articles don't pinch/zoom. On the iPad you can only pinch/zoom on pages without any interactivity.
Here's a list culled from the new feature release notes that tracks the limitations and how they've been improved.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-6abcbe621311f4e52df-8 000.html
Release 15
Scrolling is now enabled in HTML articles for the Android viewer.
Release 14
- You can now create retail folios for Android viewers. Customers can click a Buy button in the Android viewer library to purchase a folio.
- Customers can now restore all purchases in Android viewers as they can do in iPad viewers.
Release 13
Articles set to Horizontal Swipe Only (“flattened articles”) now work in the Adobe Content Viewer for the Desktop, as well as for Android and PlayBook viewers.
Release 11
The performance of PNG and HTML articles on Android devices has improved. The Android Viewer supports in-app web view.
Release 10
Although the Android Viewer more closely matches the iPad Viewer, some features are not yet supported. Unsupported features include flattened articles, inline videos, panorama overlays, and folios exported in PDF format. HTML articles and Web View overlays may have performance issues.

Android Auto Issue

Hello,I'm using Android Auto. Spotify works wonderfully, but I am having issues displaying all of my playlists. It only shows a preselected number. Is there anyway to rectify this? Mark H

How about first blit your image to a small bitmapData, then draw it on a large bitmapData (9X larger)?
Like,
var small_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH, SMALL_HEIGHT, false);
var large_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH * 9, SMALL_HEIGHT * 9, false);
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(large_bmd, PixelSnapping.NEVER, false);
var blitRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 9, 9);
var i:uint, j:uint, blitColor:uint;
small_bmd.draw(SOURCE_IMAGE);
large_bmd.lock();
for(j = 0; j < SMALL_HEIGHT; j++){
     for(i = 0; i < SMALL_WIDTH; i++){
          blitColor = small_bmd.getPixel(i, j);
          blitRect.x = i * 9;
          blitRect.y = j * 9;
          large_bmd.fillRect(blitRect, blitColor);
large_bmd.unlock();
Not sure if the code works or not, but hopefully this helps.

SCCM 2012 R2 + Intune - Android Enrollment issue

Hi,
I have an issue enrolling Android devices in our SCCM 2012 R2 in combination with Windows Intune, ADFS & DirSync.
All devices except Android enroll just fine, are visible in SCCM, get Apps and policies. When I try to enroll my Android devices (tried multiple types and Android versions) I get
an error after being redirected to the ADFS login page. I get an error stating the page has either moved, been deleted or is not reachable due to connectivity issues. When logging in on portal.manage.microsoft.com everything, including the redirection, works
fine.
All prerequisites are in place, the only thing which I haven't added is the Exchange Connector due to an 2007 backend, but afaik this isn't needed for basic Android enrollment
and management.
What I do notice is that the Company Portal for Android is redirected to a different URL for ADFS than, for example, my laptop.
Laptop URL: https://adfs.contoso.com/adfs/ls/?cbcxt=portal&popupui=1&vv=&username=username%40contoso.com&mkt=&lc=9&wfresh=&wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=urn:federation:MicrosoftOnline&wctx=wa%3Dwsignin1.0%26wreply%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fmanage.microsoft.com%252fUISecurityTokenService%252fStsLoginRedirect.aspx%26wctx%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252fm.manage.microsoft.com%252f%26cbcxt%3DPortal%26wp%3DHBI_FED%26popupui%3D1%26lc%3D9%26bk%3D1392111237%26LoginOptions%3D3
Android Device URL:
Anyone else had these issues? As I can't seem to find anything related about it online.
Thanks in advance,
Br David

Hi Nick,
I solved this problem by adding the Root and Intermediate certificates to my ADFS proxy server. It seems, though it's is not very well documented, that Android / Chrome have issues with resolving entire certificate chains, and on top of that there are less
Trusted Root CA's in both Chrome and Android. This is proven by the fact that iOS and WP8 enrollment worked just fine.
After adding adding the missing Certs on my ADFS proxy server, and rebooting the machine, everything works as intended.
Let me know if this solved your problem, if not maybe I have another idea for you.
Br David
edit: and ofcourse now I see your answer, so it seems you got your problem fixed. Leaving my answer up here just in case.

Android Phone Issues with Wireless N+ Router

I recently switched from a wireless g router to wireless n. Since that time whenever I am on an android phone (first a Motorola Droid 2 and now an HTC Rezound) the sound cuts out. The other party hears me but I cannot hear them. Are there any settings that need to be changed?

G2gamache, I'll be happy to help with the audio issues on your phone. It's strange that this issue started after changing your wireless settings, but that may be more coincidental. Do you notice this issue happening in a specific area or with specific people? How often does it happen? Try removing your SIM card on your SIM card for about 30 seconds and replace. Let me know if this continues to occur.

HP Envy m6 Keyboard & TrackPad multitasking issues

I'm running on an HP Envy m6 Laptop, with 64 Bit Windows 8 Standard edition, straight out of Best Buy.
I've had this computer for nearly a year now. I honestly love everything about it, from the backlit keyboard to the i5 processor. But there's one thing I always have to work around that I can no longer stand about the thing.
As I am a slight gamer, sometimes i enjoy playing NFS, Minecraft, Assassin's Creed, and whatnot on my PC, I always have to connect a wireless mouse to my laptop, because if I press a key on the keyboard and try to make a gesture on the trackpad, one of the two actions won't work. e.g. if i press W (to go forward) and move my finger to the left (to look to the left in a game), it will only perform the walking forward motion, because it's not accepting both signals for some odd reason. I'd appreciate if an expert could assist me, I've looked through the Synaptics properties, mouse settings, etc. etc., and have had no success in fixing this issue.

Hi @wieit ,

Adobe Connect Android app issue

The app failed during job interview, simple chat wouldn't work, no official support available.
Read report at expofair.tv/portfolio/brendaflinn.html. Report available Oct 4.
Message was edited by: Ashish Gupta to make it more readable.

On Android OS 4.1 - 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or older, Adobe Reader for Android version 11.2.x has a known defect in the "All PDFs" view. The All PDFs view does not show the files and folders on an external SD card. A workaround is to use the Folder View instead of the All PDFs view. We have fixed the defect and plan to include the fix in the next release of Reader for Android.
On Android OS 4.4 (KitKat) only, neither All PDFs view nor Folder View shows any files or folders on an external SD card. Reader cannot save any changes to the files on an external SD card, either. We are still working on fixing the problems. In the meantime, please copy the files from your external SD card to your device's internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Documents/...) using a File Manager/Browser app or use a cloud storage service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) to store files.
Your case is the latter because your Samsung Galaxy S4 phone is running 4.4.2 (KitKat).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Android Multi-Issue App not loading

So I finally managed to export a folio through the digitalpublishing portal, and it looks good on Mac with the Adobe Content Viewer and also on the Galaxy Tab with the Content Viewer, now I wanted to export it with the viewer builder programm on my Mac into a single .apk file so we can put it on the clients 200 Android Tablets. The process of doing it on the Viewer Builder on the Mac is pretty simple and works fine, BUT when I put the ready .apk file on our testing devices it starts, I can see the start screen and then it goes to the library and there is no folio there!!
After a couple of minutes it says that there is no internet connection, although if I open the browser or other apps they all have internet, even the Adobe Content viewer app works fine and has internet!
What can it be? Anyone an idea?
The Adobe Gold support couldn't help me during a 3 hours over the phone ^^
Im testing on both Android 2.3.3 and 3.1 - both the same problem.
please help, my deadline is tomorrow and the client is a very big company!

Here are a couple of things you can try. First, start the app, go to the Home page, and then activate the app again. There is a bug that basically fails to load the library on "Start," but it works on "Activate."
If you library is still empty after you try that, use the current Viewer Builder to create a v13 viewer instead of a v14 viewer. See if that works.
Hope it works...

13" 2011 i7 Multitasking Issues

Hey everyone, this is my first Macbook purchase and so far I am.. enjoying it, I guess.
But the reason I am here is because I notice a TON of slowdown when it comes to multitasking (mostly bringing things from idle to active).
One thing that really bothers me is that I can't listen to my music through Google Chrome (or my Pandora program) without -extremely- slowing down the games that I play (Heroes of Newerth, Starcraft II, World of Warcraft).
I understand that the graphics are integrated and using a portion of my CPU, which could be causing the slowdown when trying to do multitasking, but it says that I still have 40%+ CPU left, and over a GB of ram, so I don't get why it kills my fps.
This leads me to believe that it's the OS (10.6.6); I was wondering if other people had similar problems, and more importantly, if this is just how OSX works.
(The reason I don't say it might be the HDD is because I am using a 5400rpm drive and noticed absolutely no bottlenecking in the activity monitor)
Also, something that just makes me laugh with this laptop is how it goes from being a super silent ninja to become a loud assed jet engine when you start doing something that requires rendering.

Bump.
