Cleaning up ANE Android leftovers?

After seeing the duplication of resources in assets/META-INF folders, I investigated this further to find that there's a huge amount of unneeded leftover files left here that can *and should* be deleted for a release build.
For us, this is 11.5MB of a 42.5MB apk, down to 31MB after this clearout.
Basically, after deleting all files that match the regex,
assets/META-INF/AIR/extensions/[^/]+/META-INF/ANE/Android-ARM/(?!library.swf)
Leaves the apk in a perfect state, but a much more manageable / palatable size. This cleanout can be achieved after the building of the apk with aapt, from android-apktool - A tool for reverse engineering Android apk files - Google Project Hosting, with commands like,
aapt remove mygame.apk assets/META-INF/AIR/extensions/com.google.api.game/META-INF/ANE/Android-ARM/android-suppo rt-v4.jar
aapt remove mygame.apk assets/META-INF/AIR/extensions/com.google.api.game/META-INF/ANE/Android-ARM/appcompat_v7- res/abc_ic_voice_search_api_holo_light.png
This should *absolutely* be done automatically by the build process, because as I said this contributed to our app growing by a third of it's proper size.

Seriously Adobe, how can you not at least give this a reply? Leaving 10MB of unnecessary files on a mobile app is nearly an abominable crime and has to be fixed, and as I've explained (and am operating with now), it's easy-ish for me to fix post-packaging. For you guys to fix it pre that should be an absolute synch. Please do something about it.

App clean master on android

hi
is there an alternative to the app clean master on android?

Sorry but your question is not an Apple Networking issue. You may have better luck getting a solution if you repost to the iPhone area of the Apple Support Communities.

Probably not. Unlike Android party Apps cannot access or modify the iOS core system to clean or purge or do anything to it.
Not that you would need it anyway on an iPhone.
For future reference, there are specific forums here for each device. If your question was relating to an iPhone you could have posted in the Using iPhone forum.

NoClassDefFoundError for code in an Java library on Android - Stack Overflow
Go to "Properties" of the project.
Select "Java Build Path"
Select "Order and Export" Tab
You should see the selected project's "src" and "gen" paths and dependencies here.
The order how they listed were first "src" and then "gen" path
I switch them, so that "gen" folder is build before the "src"
Thank you

Hello, Alex
I'm just creating an ANE to use the new service from Google Play Service
My real problem is this:
I caught the ANE https://github.com/freshplanet/ANE-Google-Play-Game-Services. using google play service in froyo version. And use another ANE AdMob using the latest version of google play service.
By using and enjoying the two together in my project I have problem as there are conflicting library because I have two different versions of google play service, got the idea to update the ANE https://github.com/freshplanet/ANE-Google-Play- Game-Services. And put the dependencies google service only play one of them.
ANE that started my whole problem was updating.
I had this same error in native application (Android) and was simple to solve. I changed the "build path -> Order and Export" order of packets by placing the "gen" in primero and the "src" soon followed. But this change does not fit when I expoprto the jar to generate ANE.
I ended up finding another that NEDs use google play latest service
https://github.com/alextel69/google-play-game-services-ane.
I saw in the documentation that it is using AIR SDK 4.0 and I'm using the AIR 3.6 SDK. I'll update my version and find out if that resolves the problem.
Which version of AIR SDK are you using?
Once I have news we report here
Thanks for your help.
Have a great day

Gyroscope ANE Android

Hi all, i've integrated the Sample gyroscope ANE from here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/gyroscope.html inside my app. Basically, this will be a retro race game ( similar to OutRun ) , with the possibilyt to drive left -> right via the gyroscope. It will run ONLY on galaxy TAb 10.1 GT-P7500.
I have some problem :
VALUES :
this is my min Value : -5.326322e-7 for each Axis ( the MAX Value SEEMS to be 5.326322e-7) .
How to convert it to a real number ( i need to limit it from 0 to 1 left to right) ? Number.toFixed() ?
Is there a way to normalize them in the Java part of the ANE ?
AXIS :
when i roatate the device from landscape to portrait, on which axis am i rotating ? When i try to trace it, ALL the axis change value ( and sometime they just get the MIN value of -5.326322e-7, even if the are all rotated ) .
Thanks in advance!

isit usefull to do it in the ANE Java ?
No. Just use Actionscript.
When im faking a steer with the device (screen i front of me, landscape) on which axis im rotating ?
use the example on the site you linked to:
var gyro:Gyroscope; if(Gyroscope.isSupported) { gyro = new Gyroscope(); gyro.setRequestedUpdateInterval(1000); gyro.addEventListener(GyroscopeEvent.UPDATE,onChange); }
function onChange(e:GyroscopeEvent):void { trace("From gyro: " + e.x + " " + e.y + " " + " " + e.z); }
Since I don`t know details how you control your steering its pointless to guess, you must at least show how you plan to steer, control your car.
And, regardig the snippet, why 2500000 and 2663161 ? ar them -5.326322e-7 converted ?
The basic idea is to convert a solution room from (roughly -0,53 to roughly 0,53) to 0->1 (-5.326322e-7 is no space magic but simply an exponential way to write down -0.532....)
This is a linear equation with 2 unknowns which gives when solved the funtion:
f(x) = 2500000/2663161·x + 1/2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function
when i roatate the device from landscape to portrait, on which axis am i rotating ? When i try to trace it, ALL the axis change value ( and sometime they just get the MIN value of -5.326322e-7, even if the are all rotated ) .
use a variable that holds the orintation, and switch the formulas (of which I gave you one) depending on that

ANE Android override Activity onNewIntent()

Hi,
I'm trying to create an NFC extension to be informed when a Tag is detected by the NFC sensor.
I guess i have more or less everything i need, expect that onNewIntent override.
In the JAVA samples i saw, as soon as we call enableForegroundDispatch on the NfcAdapter, the onNewIntent() method of the activity specified on the enableForegroundDispatch is called.
We have access to the Activity via the FREContext.getActivity() so i can specify the activity that will get the onNewIntent called, but as i can't really extend the FREContext class, i can't override this method to catch the intent.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Have a nice day !

I found this solution that almost satisfies me :
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4491738?tstart=0#4491738
It's basically based on the fact that passing a tag in front on the NFC chips fires an InvokeEvent to the AIR's NativeApplication.
I'm just searching why i get only one of two tag IDs.
Even if i manually grab the last intent tag ID with the ANE i don't have the new tag but the previous one, until i pass the new tag a second time.
With a pure Java project overriding the onNewIntent as i wanted to do i have no problem. The onNewIntent() is called everytime a new tag is detected.
And for now, i have no idea what could be the source of my problem but i still search.
If anyone has an idea, i'll be glad to read it

Android res/layout Folder not included in the APK file (but included in the ANE)

I'm having a problem with resources on an Adobe ANE Android extension: android.content.res.Resources@NotFoundException: id.viewView
I have a xml layout file, which is included in the ANE file (checking by unzipping the ANE file and looking into META-INF/ANE/Android-ARM)
In the APK file (generated with Flash Builder 4.6), the layout folder (inside res) at the top level is missing, but its included deep in the assets folder:

                                        layout
                                        values
Any ideas?

Can you manually select it for inclusion by modifying Packaging Settings - Package Contents in "Export Release Build" settings?

I met the same problem as yours.
Besure your jar NOT include FlashRuntimeExtensions.jar.
I use IntelliJ IDEA + artifacts to generate the library jar. Everything goes fine after removed the FlashRuntimeExtensions.jar from artifacts

Android res folder not included in the ane extension

Hi.
I am trying to develop an android extension fro air, but I have a problem with resources.
According to this : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/extensions/WSf268776665d7970d-2e74ffb4130044f3619-7ff8.ht ml
The res folder should be included inside the created extension. But it actually isn’t.
for this test I simply use the basic Hello world Vibrate test, but I added a new png in the drawable folder.
As you can see while unziping the .ane file, then going to META-INF/ANE/Android-ARM
the res file is absent.
As a result, the program crashes when I try to access my ressource FREContext.getResourceId("drawable.ppy_accessory_manage.png")
Has anyone managed to make resources work with ANE in android?
PS, here is my batch to compile the ANE :
set adt_directory=C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0\bin
set root_directory=C:\Users\hugo\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6
set library_directory=%root_directory%\HelloANELibrary
set native_directory=%root_directory%\HelloANENative
set signing_options= -storetype pkcs12 -keystore "C:\Users\hugo\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\certificat.p12"

You can try with this ANE for Android:

If you need iOS functionality as well, you have this paid extension:

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

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

Cleaning up ANE Android leftovers?
