ANE to access Android WebView

Hello,
Im looking for something similar to darkredz IOS UIWebView, just for Android.
http://darkredz.com/ios-uiwebview-and-videoplayer-native-extension-for-air-mobile/
Does anyone know a good alternative to AIRs StageWebView ?
Rendermode GPU + StageWebView on Android is simply too buggy and unpredictable (crash on Fullscreen, Videos upside down, Flickering on xPeria, OS-Player kidnaps youtube-player and crashes, youtube player-ui and os-ui on screen at the same time, not disposed, ... and so on, uncontrolable freakin Nightmare).
Unfortunately the App is ready (ported from ios) and relies on GPU-Mode, so, rendermode direct is not an option.
Eternal gratitude assured.

There is no access to the full Android Marketplace, instead, developers repackage their android apps and submit them to Blackberry's App World. So to the end user, there is no difference between an android app and a true blackberry app.

How to access android resource in java native extension....??

hi..
i want access android resource..

Is Firefox for Android available as a development component (like Android WebView)?

I want to develop an app which includes the Android WebView (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html).
Is the Firefox browser also available as such a component to be integrated in Android Apps?

Actualy I did give that idea a try. I removed the huge directory and replaced it with a 200 meg zip file and the program actually loaded my other files a lot faster. I've seen an improvement in my program's performance when I split my 8000 file dir into 27 separate directories. It is still slow but not as bad as before.
I'm fairly certain now that Android does not like very large directories.

AS3 AIR accessing Android expansion file

Hello, I have AS3/AIR application for deploying on Google Play. The app has an expansion file attached to it. Expansion file is named "main.1000000.air.com.mycompany.myapp12.obb" and it is downloaded along with the app properly.
The problem is I cannot access the file with any way I tried, like:
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath('Android/obb/main.1000000.air.com.mycompany.myapp12.obb');
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath('/Android/obb/main.1000000.air.com.mycompany.myapp12.obb');
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath('main.1000000.air.com.mycompany.myapp12.obb');
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath('/main.1000000.air.com.mycompany.myapp12.obb');
or simillar, and I cannot access the file even when the path while developing on Windows seems to be right. When deployed, I just got the "not found" error in my catch block with the supplied File url property: "app-storage:/Android/obb/main.1000000.air.com.mycompany.myapp12.obb". I have been looking for the solution and trying various approaches for several days, but I am stucked. Please help. Developed on ASUS EEE PAD.

I have same problem on my Nexus 7(2012) Android Lillipop
The Aplication can't see the obb file after install - it can find it only after device system reload
but I can see it on such directorys
storage/sdcard0/Android/obb/
storage/emulated/legacy/Android/obb/
storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/
so why aplication can't find it ?

Can we access the webview elements??

Hi,
I have 2 textfield on a webview and want to set the value for these two textfields while automating the apps using instruments tool. How can I do that??

You probably would be better off asking questions like this in Apple's developer forums. Most of the people here are just ordinary users, not programmers.
Best of luck.

[solved] Mounting and accessing Android /root

Hello,
I searched a bit on the Web and all I had found was MTP to mount the SD Card into my Linux system.
However, I would like to mount / and not only /mnt/sdcard to change some internals of my rooted device.
How would I do that and is there a way to do that in Nautilus?

You could also try to use an ssh server on the phone, sshfs on arch and "adb forward" to forward a local port to your android device.
Edit: Don't forget to remount /system as writable. For smaller changes it si easier to use adb, though. Just create the directory structure locally and use adb push or adb sync

Problem accessing Android MIC

I have been reading the microphone class, and I cannot figure out why this code is not tracing anything out:
var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
mic.gain = 100;
mic.rate = 44;
mic.setSilenceLevel(0, 6000);
mic.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, micSampleDataHandler);
private function micSampleDataHandler(event:SampleDataEvent):void{
log("Recording");
according to the adobe help files this is alls that is needed to actually speak into the mic and have it know you are doing so. But I cannot get the micSampleDataHandler to fire at all when whispering, talking, or screaming into the phone.
Am I missing something?

Hope this screen shot helps:

packageName question when building an Android ANE

I've tried
External library inside Air native extension for android
How to include additional Jar in Android Native Extension for Adobe Air Mobile - Stack Overflow
Unsuccessfuly.
Reading these docs: Adobe Flash Platform * Including resources in your native extension package I think I could have a problem loading the resources and, because of that, not access to the class properly or crashing somewhere.
My platformoptions file
<platform xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/17.0">
    <packagedDependencies>
        <packagedDependency>my_sdk.jar</packagedDependency>

<packagedResources>

<folderName>res</folderName>
</packagedResource>
</packagedResources>

My question is, how can I know the "packageName", "res" is the folder where I copied and pasted all the resources from the external library, but the package? I've just written randomly "com.my_sdk"
Thanks!

To create Android ANE there is a devnet article Developing and using Adobe AIR native extensions for Android devices | Adobe Developer Connection
Accessing third-party native libraries
The original purpose of native extensions was to provide access to native platform features that were not currently covered by the ActionScript API. However, many ActionScript developers targeting Android have expressed a strong interest in taking advantage of available third-party Android libraries that package together a number of popular Android-specific functions, so that they need not reimplement those functions in ActionScript. To use any third party library jar in your project you can use the R* mechanism. For more information, see Developing Native Extensions Guide.
Working with arbitrary assets
In addition to accessing Android native resources, developers often need to access arbitrary resources for assets such as drawables and sound files. These assets are frequently found packaged in arbitrary dependent JAR files instead of a central location, especially for third-party native libraries. To use such assets in your project you can use the R* mechanism. For more information, see Developing Native Extensions Guide.

Android R.* access and the case of the missing styleable

Hi,
I'm trying to use appcompat-v7 in my ANE and access it via the R.* mechanism.
The packaging step of the ANE works fine.
However, when building the final .apk using this ANE, the styleable elements disappear. The other resources (such as drawables, etc) are present just fine in the output.
The artifacts I'm using are classes.jar and the res folder from inside the .aar for appcompat-v7: \android-sdk\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support\appcompat-v7\19.0.1\appcompa t-v7-19.0.1.aar
The end result is that the generated apk contains and R file for this library, and an R.styleable, but it's empty (by comparison in a properly built non-air android app this R.styleable would contain quite a few different fields). The other R. classes seem to be properly populated with a merge of the resource ids - R.string, R.layout, etc.
Here's (a trimmed down version) of the platform.xml I'm using when packaging the ANE:
<platform xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/4.0">
    <packagedDependencies>
        <packagedDependency>support-v4-19.0.1.jar</packagedDependency>
        <packagedDependency>android.support.v7.appcompat-classes.jar</packagedDependency>
    </packagedDependencies>
    <packagedResources>
        <packagedResource>
            <packageName>android.support.v7.appcompat</packageName>
            <folderName>android.support.v7.appcompat-res</folderName>
        </packagedResource>
    </packagedResources>
</platform>
Here are the errors I'm seeing during install time:
D/dalvikvm﹕ DexOpt: couldn't find static field Landroid/support/v7/appcompat/R$styleable;.ActionBarLayout
D/dalvikvm﹕ DexOpt: couldn't find static field Landroid/support/v7/appcompat/R$styleable;.ActionBarWindow
D/dalvikvm﹕ DexOpt: couldn't find static field Landroid/support/v7/appcompat/R$styleable;.Theme
...the list continues here
and at runtime:
java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: android.support.v7.appcompat.R$styleable.ActionBarWindow
So the question is: are styleable attributes supported in air native extensions?
Thanks,
Radu

Nimisha1,
Thank you for the info but it seems R.styleable still has something wrong. As suggested, I'm using AIR beta 14.0.0.125 and I set JAVA_HOME
in the machine, pointing to JDK 1.6.0. I'm on Mac OSX 10.9.3, by the way.
I used apktool again to compare the apk with the one created by Eclipse. All the xml files of the resources are in 'res' now but the difference is in
the file named R$styleable.smali which is located at
APK_ROOT/smali/android/support/v7/appcompat/R$styleable.smali
The one created by Eclipse contains the declarations for ActionBarWindow but the one by Flash Builder doesn't.
I wonder if something is still missing... anyhow it would be great if you could help me again. Thanks.

Android native extention errors

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently working on creating an Android ANE for native alert popups. I'm now at the point where I think my both my Java and AS3 code is good to go but I'm getting an error when I try to use it.
Main Thread (Suspended: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.)
My problem is I'm really not sure where this error is coming from. My thinking is that I'm not building the ANE file correctly or something is wrong in my extension.xml file but I'm really not too sure.
I'm going to try to provide as much information as I can about how this project is set up. Right now I'm trying to use this ANE in a small, testing application.
First, the folder setup:
ANEextensions-
     Alert_Java (holding my Java project)
          (Android/Java created assets. Not sure if these are important or now. If so I will list them)
          src
               com
                    fa
                         ne
                              android
                                   AlertContext.java
                                   AlertExtension.java
                                   ShowAlert.java
     Alert_AS
          bin
               AlertAndroidAS.swc
          src
               Alert.as
               extension.xml
I'm not going to bother posting my java code as I think it's correct. but if anyone who is willing to invest some time in helping me with this issue wants to take a look please let me know.
This is my extensions.xml file
<extension xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/2.5">
<id>com.fa.alerts</id>
<versionNumber>1.0</versionNumber>
    <platforms>
        <platform name="Android-ARM">
            <applicationDeployment>
                <nativeLibrary>AndroidAlert.jar</nativeLibrary>
                <initializer>com.fa.ne.android.AlertExtension</initializer>
                <finalizer>com.fa.ne.android.AlertExtension</finalizer>
            </applicationDeployment>
        </platform>
    </platforms>
</extension>
And this is my Alert.as file:
package {
    import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
    import flash.external.ExtensionContext;
    public class Alert extends EventDispatcher{
        public static var extContext:ExtensionContext = null
        public function Alert(){
            super();
            extContext = ExtensionContext.createExtensionContext("com.fa.alerts", null);
        public static function androidAlert(aTitle:String, aMsg:String, aNeg:String = "Cancel", aPos:String = "Ok"):void{
            extContext.call("showAlert", aTitle, aMsg, aNeg, aPos);
And this is my stub app I'm using to test
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="HomeView">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            protected function spawnAne(event:MouseEvent):void{
                var a:Alert = new Alert();
                Alert.androidAlert("test","testing");
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <fx:Declarations>
        
    </fx:Declarations>
    <s:Button click="spawnAne(event)" />
</s:View>
Now clicking on that button is what causes the error.
I don't have any kind of swc or link between my testing app and the AS3 Alert_AS project. I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 to import the ANE file using the IDE tools.
To build my ANE I'm using a lightly modified bash script from this post: http://gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=149 by Lee Brimelow
    # path to YOUR Android SDK
    export AIR_ANDROID_SDK_HOME="my sdk"

I know this is a bit long but any help would be greatly appreciated! And feel free to let me know if you need some more elaboration

I know this is an old post but I'm running into a similar situation - my ExtensionContext is NULL. I've worked through all the examples I can find and I can't get my own ANE functional.

Problem Create ANE,ArgumentError: Error #3500: The extension context does not have a method with the name

I little confuse about build ANE, I already follow all the direction, but the error always #3500 when I try to call the ANE.
I create ANE using java android.
The tools I use : Flash Builder running on Win-64 win.7. I think I must straight to the point, here what i made it first step by step;
1. I create the JAVA application first, with package senigo.extension.android then I create 3 file, Sample.java, SampleContext.java, PassTextFunction.java
Sample.Java Source Code
package senigo.extension.android;
import android.util.Log;
import com.adobe.fre.FREContext;
import com.adobe.fre.FREExtension;
public class Sample implements FREExtension {
@Override
public FREContext createContext(String arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("Sample", "createContext");
return new SampleContext();
@Override
public void dispose() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("Sample", "Dispose");
@Override
public void initialize() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("Sample", "Initialize");
SampleContext.Java Source Code
package senigo.extension.android;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import android.util.Log;
import com.adobe.fre.FREContext;
import com.adobe.fre.FREFunction;
public class SampleContext extends FREContext {
public SampleContext()
Log.i("SampleContext", "constructor");
@Override
public void dispose() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("SampleContext", "dispose");
@Override
public Map<String, FREFunction> getFunctions() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("SampleContext", "getFunctions");
Map<String, FREFunction> functionMap = new HashMap<String, FREFunction>();
functionMap.put("passText", new PassTextFunction());
return functionMap;
PassTextFunction.Java Source Code
package senigo.extension.android;
import com.adobe.fre.FREContext;
import com.adobe.fre.FREExtension;
import com.adobe.fre.FREFunction;
import com.adobe.fre.FREObject;
public class PassTextFunction implements FREFunction {
@Override
public FREObject call(FREContext arg0, FREObject[] arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
FREObject result = null;
try{
result = FREObject.newObject("Hello World");
}catch(Exception e)
return result;
after all the file I create the jar file using click right on the tree view >> Export >> Jar File >> Sample.Jar (i already create jar file that just contain the src folder and after i frustrated, i create .jar file contain all the whole project folder but still didn't work out).
Ok, After that I create project Flex Library Project, That's contain the actionscript to call the native and the extension.xml, here the code.
Test.as Source Code, FYI : i already create public function and the static function the error still same #3500.
package senigo.extension.android
import flash.external.ExtensionContext;
public class test
private static var extContext:ExtensionContext = null;
public function test()
trace ("Test Constructor");
if (!extContext)
initExtension();
public static function get passText():String
trace ("Test Pass Text");
if (!extContext)
initExtension();
return extContext.call("passText") as String;
private static function initExtension():void
trace ("Vibration Constructor: Create an extension context");
extContext = ExtensionContext.createExtensionContext("senigo.extension.android", null);
extension.xml source code
FYI: in Flex when i put the Native Extension, they said must have Windows-x86 so I already create 3 ANE, that just contain Android-ARM , Contain Android-ARM and Default, Contain Android-ARM,Default and Windows-x86 but the error still same. I didn't got it where is the error.
<extension xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/3.1">
<id>senigo.extension.android</id>
<versionNumber>1.0.0</versionNumber>
<platforms>
<platform name="Android-ARM">
<applicationDeployment>
<nativeLibrary>Sample.jar</nativeLibrary>
<initializer>senigo.extension.android.Sample</initializer>
<finalizer>senigo.extension.android.Sample</finalizer>
</applicationDeployment>
</platform>

<platform name="default">
<applicationDeployment/>
</platform>
</platforms>
</extension>
After I create it, I copy the .swc file and extension file sample with the Sample.jar file.
I extract the .swc file, copy the library.swf to folder Android-ARM,Default,Windows-86 and I create build.bat that contain the command like this
adt -package -storetype PKCS12 -keystore senigo.p12 -storepass l10nk1ng -target ane senigo.extension.android.ane extension.xml -swc AndroidLib.swc -platform Android-ARM -C ./Android-ARM/ . -platform default -C ./default/ .
the I put the ane to Flex mobile project that I created:
I run it but got error #3500, I really confuse?? what's wrong with my code? is there something I wrong or I Miss it?
Please any one help me.. and when is already ane file can I debug it in Flex Mobile Project? I wanna looks the log.i code that i wrote but i confuse how to looking up in flash builder.
at the end, I wanna said Sorry if my english not very goods, and thanks, because wanna see my problem and thank you very much if You can gave me a solution's

Alex Rekish wrote:
Why you comment Windows-x86 in your extension.xml ?
I think that is a problem. You launch your application on Windows but ANE haven't got Windows-x86 implementation (also you don't include it while packaging). So your application use default implementation. But default implementation don't use any native code and cannot use ExtensionContext. And you got error.
If you don't need Windows-x86 native implementation than you need implement default implementation that different than Android-ARM. You don't need to use ExtensionContext in default implementation.
Thanks for you answer Alex Rekish, Sorry I didn't screen shoot all about the extension.xml. I comment it because the latest ANE that I build is contain Android-ARM and default. so I commented. but I already try it using just ANE that's just contain Android-ARM, with Android-ARM and windows-x86,and Android-ARM, and default, and Android-ARM,default,Windows-x86 the error still the same.
here the screen shoot, I embeded the ane that's i contain Windows-x86
in action script test.as I didn't change it anythings, I just play it on extension.xml to build the ane. is there any mistake over there? I interact with your answer that "If you don't need Windows-x86 native implementation than you need implement default implementation that different than Android-ARM. You don't need to use ExtensionContext in default implementation." I didn't need to user ExtensionContext? is means? in the actionscript? or in extension.xml? can you explained
