Converting desktop app to mobile app

hi i have developed a simple java desktop app for making currency conversions, now i want this to work on my mobile, what are the steps to take to convert it, or do I have to start from scratch? thanks

I think it'll be easier to start from scratch. Java ME classes, even those with the same package and class names, are not the same as their Java SE big brothers.
Here's a link to a [J2ME Tutorial|http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2005/02/09/j2me1.html].
If you have any Java ME related questions, please post them to the [CLDC and MIDP forum|http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=76].
luck, db

Can't convert desktop app FormsCentral form to PDF

I try the File>Save as PDF but no dialog box appears as it is supposed to to (re)name or choose where to save the file locally. No PDF is produced. The File dropdown menu just disappears. What's up?

Converting desktop css to mobile css using jquery

Here is what I have done so far:
I created a basic layout for a test page containing video using Dreamweaver.
I used Media Queries to set up CSS files for mobile, tablet and desktop viewing.
I made changes to the CSS formatting for the mobile view.
Here is what I want to do:
Include jquery script to collapse text on my page when viewed on a mobile device or tablet.
I watched this tutorial about setting it up, but the CSS files were premade, so I am not sure how to make some of the changes:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs-55-web-premium-feature-tour-/how-media-queries-can-make-desig ning-for-mobile-devices-and-different-screens-easier/
Do I place the jquery lines into the source code? and call them out in the CSS? Can jquery be used in the CSS file and where would I insert it and call it out?
The video shows the multiscreen view containing the collapsible text, but he never references where the changes were made. in the source code or in each CSS.
any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi
First I would suggest that you learn to use jQuery on a normal desktop page, (are you talking about using the jQuery mobile framework?) see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introduction-to-jquery.html.
However in the tutorial David shows the jQuery framework file as being inserted at the end of the page, (just before the closing body tag) but doing so means that the page loads before the jQuery code is applied to the page, which has its advantages and disadvantages, but if the jQuery is being used to apply styles/functionality to a page I would recommend placing it into the head content, and the plug-in code at the end of the page.
The above is a personal preference though, and will very much depend on what your jQuery code is doing.

Can jquery be used in the CSS file and where would I insert it and call it out?
jQuery is a javascript framework and cannot be placed in a css file, but can be used to manipulate the css.

Include Air ( desktop app ) inside Mobile app permited by Apple / Android?

Include Air ( desktop app ) inside Mobile app permited by apple / android?
This is my question....:
I need a "viewer" app run in a desktop machine... via p2p... ( done and working )
I will like to include it in my iOS / Android Release, an then by example move it to the documents folder.
Run iTunes and then copy the file from the shared document folder.
Is this permited by apple / android / adobe ?
Thanks....

just tracing some kind of tests I'm doing.
A couple of hours ago I left working 2 instances of my Application, leaving alone this computer: one instance is the Mac desktop version and the other one is the Web version. In this case both versions were running on the same computer (an iMac with OS X Mavericks):
1) the AIR/Mac version have been recompiled yesterday with the new AIR4(.0.0.1619 - AIR 3.8 is used to fall in a equivalent way - no changes)
2) the Web version have been compiled targeting FP 11.8 and it is running on Chrome browser with PepperFlash NOT disabled (which reports version MAC 13.0.0.80, the latest)
I left working both the Mac and the Web versions of the Application opened on the pc screen (= not minimized) but kept totally behind some Terminal/ssh windows (= not on OS focus and the system is not asked to update any screen area of the app for sure).
I came back after about 2 hours and I got the browser version connected&running (but it is not a rule) and I also found the AIR-based Mac version disconnected (uau, usually I found the app disconnected but with the screen freezed at last user look ->) which rapidly reconnects upon my click on the Apple dock icon (bring to front).
Why these different behaviours? I ask to myself.
The two versions of the software are TOTALLY the SAME application: except for the first Flash file (a 24kb swf file for the Web version and a 170kb dmg file for the Mac version), basically a platform-dependent loader, both versions loads the same remote swf modules. Of course t is AIR (or my first Flash file?).
I attach the source code of the Mac version of the [first file] AIR-based application at the following url:
http://92.63.230.100/others/others/wtstarter_mac.as.txt
_Adobe_, is it a bug? isn't it?

USB communication AIR desktop and AIR mobile app

Hi! Does somebody know the possibilites of USB communication between and AIR desktop app and an AIR mobile app. I need to send files from an desktop application to the external memory on an mobile device. Is it possible for the desktop app to recognise when the mobile is connected. And is it possible for the mobile app to send commands the desktop app? So I need a two way communication. Anybody who has any ideas?

Debug and release desktop app as mobile

I built an app in Flash Pro where I could easily export an AIR app for desktop and an Android app.
I have now moved it to Flash Builder and am not sure how to accomplish this.
It is currently a Desktop app that bilds a release fine.
Now, how to get an Android version from it?

The difference between an AIR application and a browser
application is very small. Take a look at the Adobe training video
on this subject.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining/?sdid=DYOCT
In particular, the last part of day three. It's quite clear
and you can download the test setup for free. Be careful! I believe
that the Flex Builder configuration info is out of date, because
the paths for installation of LCDS have changed. I found a fix.
My notes, maybe a bit cryptic:
Make sure when you install LCDS, choose the Tomcat option.
This will install the server application.
If you're using the new version LiveCycle Data Services ES
2.6, you'll have to adjust a few things:
When you install LCDS, click the Tomcat option and continue
with the installation.
Instead of unzipping to C:\lcds\jrun4\servers\default.. use
this folder to unzip the server.zip file instead to
C:\lcds\tomcat\webapps\odt
Original adobe forum post:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=60&catid=833&threadid =1387349&enterthread=y
Also, instead of using port 8700, the new version uses 8400.
1. Start the Server: Programs > LiveCycle Data Services ES
2.6 > Start LiveCycle Data Services Server. Allow the server to
start up.
2. Point your browser to
http://localhost:8400/ to test
the start page.
3. Your URL for this example will be
http://localhost:8400/odt/
Flex
I found that in many places you cannot use $(ENV_VARIABLE)
successfully.
Enter the exact string.
c:/lcds/tomcat/webapps/odt - for the training apps
Always, instead of /lcds/jrun4/servers/default/odt, use
/lcds/tomcat/webapps/odt
Start the data base
cd c:/lcds/sampledb
startdb.bat
LCDS local URL

Photoshop is a Desktop App

I just downloaded Photoshop and other apps to my desktop computer and now I am trying to download to my daughters Ipad Mini, and it is saying that Photoshop is a desktop app and I need to download from my computer. How do I do that?

There is no full PS for iPad. You need to buy and install PS mobile from the App Store or another graphics editing tool.

Does Apple still use a checksum hash (or take other steps) to prevent Songbird media player desktop app from opening?

Hello. I've downloaded and installed Songbird for Mac desktop three times. When I try to open the application its icon briefly appears in the dock, but after several seconds it crashes without opening. My MacPro meets and exceeds the listed software requirements. Any ideas why the app won't open? According to http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/what-might-end-apples-open-source-pass/313 0, "For those unfamiliar with the story, Apple began "protecting" its iTunesDB file (necessary for syncing) with a checksum hash in September 2007. This kept people from using other music programs like Winamp and Songbird, alongside iPod files." That's ancient history now, and Apple does even allow the Songbird mobile app for iPhone. There is no Songbird app in the App Store though, and attempts to open the desktop app file downloaded from Songbird's site result in the problem described.
Possibility: I have a large iTunes music library - 16K+ songs - would Songbird refuse to open due to potential stability issues with importing a library that size?
Found a similar issue on the Songbird support boards here: https://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/...
Based on that info I opened Terminal and entered
/Applications/Songbird.app/Contents/MacOS/songbird -ProfileManager &
This opened a small dialog box that allowed me to specify a default user (but would not allow the default user name to be re-named). I was then able to go through several windows and opt to have my iTunes library imported, to have several Songbird apps imported, and to not provide user details. The window then closed, and the Songbird icon again disappeared from the dock. Crash.
Meanwhile, the Terminal app now displayed
this.addToLibrary is null in SBPlaylistCommand_AddToLibrary ?!!
I then entered the original command again, opened the default user box again, but then the default user dialog box closed and again the Songbird icon disappeared from the dock. Crash.
Attempted to open Songbird from the Applications folder with the same result: the default user box appeared briefly, then closed and the Songbird icon disappeared from the dock. Crash.
Any other ideas that might help this to open, or does Apple feel threatened and is therefore preventing users from accessing the app?

Songbird working exactly how it should here under Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Maybe try uninstalling as per manufacturer's instructions and reinstalling most recent version. I would be hesitant to muck around with a non responsive program as such with Terminal before exploring other Troubleshooting Paths such as other Third Party conflicts. Have you installed any anti-virus software? MacKeeper, Little Snitch or similar? Can you post a crash report. That may help further.But definately working as it should here.

Link to help file in Java desktop app

Hi,
Is it possible to link to a file, ie. UserGuide.pdf from a menuitem in a desktop app?
The file is originally in the application root, but after downloading with Java Web Start the link no longer work.
Thanks
Dave

Resources for JWS apps. should be in Jars, whereas I am guessing the PDF is a loose file.
If the PDF is converted to something more Java friendly such as HTML, RTF or text, it can be included in a Jar and displayed using JavaHelp or a JEditorPane.
To use a PDF and have it open in the system default software for displaying PDF files, it would be necessary to:
1) Include the PDF in a Jar and add the Jar to the resources section of the JNLP.
2) Get a reference to the PDF using
this.getClass().getResource("the.pdf");3) Gain an InputStream from that URL.
4) Read the bytes of the PDF and save them to a known place (such as a sub-directory of user.home).
5) Call
Desktop.open("${user.home}/path/to/the.pdf");

Do not force tablet users to use the Desktop app before it is ready

Windows 10 is set to launch on July 29. Microsoft is discontinuing Modern Skype on July 7 thus creating the following inconveniences for Windows 8.1 tablet users connected with using the Desktop app: The Desktop app is blurry due to the DPI issuesThe app slides off the screen if the app is maximized and the user scrolls to the end of any listUsers need to use the desktop virtual keyboard which is subpar in numerous aspectsUsers who primarily use the Modern part of Windows 8.1 are forced to use the desktop environmentThere is no way to see any Skype notifications without going to the Desktop which, again, the tablet users don't do very often or don't do at all Every single one of the abovementioned issues isn't minor by any means. We'd understand your decision to make users move to a better app if it was indeed a better app. Please finish the proper Windows 10 integration first (or, at the very least, wait till Windows 10 is released) and then we, the tablet users, would gladly move to a truly better experience.

Thanks for listening. A) Lenovo ThinkPad 8 tablet - Windows 8.1 x64, 8" 1920x1200 screen mostly in portrait mode with 150% zoom for desktop, equipped with LTE mobile connection (that's why Skype connected standby mode support is essential). B) All issues with the desktop version on tablet have been summarized in the first post. I will repeat them again: true optimization for touch devices - I mostly use the chat window, so no menu nor taskbar visible on main (chat) window.fix basic bugs like erratic scrolling, the sliding off main window when scrolling and missing High DPI awareness supportconnected standby support, start screen and live tile notificationssmooth integration of onscreen keyboard, again Windows Store applications can do that onlyNo desktop application on Windows 8.1 can offer the same level of experience on tablets as the existing Modern Skype (Windows Store) one does. That's why the Windows Store applications have been introduced after all. So the easiest solution for both parties is to not kill the Modern Skype app as it continues to live on Windows RT devices. As for Windows 10 upgrade and getting a new Skype universal app (if any, in the future), it does not seem to be well optimized for tablets yet so it is better to stay with very good Windows 8.1 for a while.

Pass parameter to new view in air desktop app

Hi Guys,
Have developed a mobile app that uses this code .....
public function generalList_ChangeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void
navigator.pushView(Detail, list.selectedItem);
.... to pass data from a list item that the user clicks to a new view called Detail.
This is a very common requirement. ie Scroll a list, and then click on an item to go to a new view where the
details about the item selected are rendered.
..but, I cannot see how to do this in a classic air desktop app.
It must be pretty simple but it is not im Tour de Flex and I can't find a solution on the web.
What would the equivalent code for an air app please?
Thanks,
Richard

Oh, I see.
Your right if I remember correctly you implemented your own version of a ViewNavigator for your AIR application.
If you want to use the mobile components in your AIR application you need to add the swc to your project 'mobilecomponents.swc'.
You do this right click project->propertie, then select Flex Build Path and focus on the Library Path tab. Then click "Add SWC" and browse to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder Burrito\sdks\4.5.0\frameworks\libs\mobile' and select the mobilecomponents.swc.
That should allow you to leverage the ViewNavigator in your AIR application. However, as your AIR app is not a MoblieApplication you will have to instanciate your own instance of ViewNavigator to use and push views to.
Hope that helps.

Servlet to Desktop App

I have a speecific question...
I have a mobile device connecting to a servlet, when the mobile device does some action, the action is sent to the servlet.
I then want the servlet to do some action to the desktop application.
I want to know is it possible to have the servlet and the desktop app communicate simply?
They are on the one machine and i want to avoid using the net for them to talk to each other
Thanks

Open an URL connection using java.net.URLConnection (and if necessary send the POST request), obtain the response as inputstream and process it.
There is an URLConnection tutorial available: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/urls/readingWriting.html

Desktop app store app shows old priced apps

App store app vs 1.0.2 shows older release date for a specific app with older higher price, where iTunes store has newer vs at lower price! Why doesn't desktop app store app reflect same newest vs's that iTunes does? I checked software updates and there is no updates found.
(FYI, sending this question via iPhone and from it tried to update to show my desktop OS is now 10.6.8, but that choice is not in drop down list for OS, so added comment)

Don't get confused:
the iTunes App Store only has apps that are for Apple Mobile Devices (iPhone; iPod; iPad) running iOS as operating system.
The Mac App Store (or Desktop App Store as you refered to) only has apps that are for Apple Mac computers running Mac OS X as operating systems.
These apps are different from each other and not interchangeable.
