Custom UI Text in DPS in Android Apps

Hi,
Is there any documentation on how to customize the sign in button text for DPS Android apps like the one for iOS apps?
Customizing UI text in DPS iOS apps
Thanks!

This feature isn't supported with the Android or Windows viewers.

DPS android app for small screens, works, but poorly...

There is a way to get the DPS android app compatable with 1400 devices, including mobile phones.
In theory if you here reading this its because you have an android app made by the DPS app builder live in the play store and...
A: found out that the android app is only available on large/xlarge screens
B: are getting yelled at by your employer who bought the Adobe DPS subscription and claims this should work on his phone "because I looked at the Adobe site and it says android, my phone is an android, read their site and make it work"
C: found this because you were smart enough to read through the forums before suggesting this as a publishing solution to your employer and want to know if it really works on android phones, in whcih case, you may want to make it easy on yourself and just say "no, it does not" and then waid for Adobe to officially support small/normal screens perhaps head over to this post and bring some attention to it so we can collectivly improve this already awesome tool: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1097433
however, before you attempt this please keep in mind the following:
1- it does not work well, if at all, on certain devices. specifically the small phone devices with the slower processors. So what typically happens is that you need to delete the data for the app and wait nearly 10 min for the "checking for updates" to process and grab new edditions. Depending on your serivce provider, this can be a nightmare. So, do NOT even attempt this if you have a cap on your data plan, think about how long it would take to download a 100mb folio file on a 3g connection, not to mention the processor which the tablets have and phones do not have.
Here is some more data:
--Android 1 from Sprint: really super slow, thats all I gotta say
--Android 2 from Verizon, again, slow, but works
--Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1, Verizon 4g connection, works great, (10% of the time) lol. about 90% of the time the Galaxy Nexus needs to be restarted after installing, and will get stuck on the "updating library" screen. the only way to fix this for any of the above phones seems to be to clear all data, uninstall, re install, do not launch, restart phone, and then launch app.
I am going to test the following soon:
     Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 (1.6GHz Quad-core)
     (1.5GHz Quad-core)
          LG Optimus G E973
          Xiaomi MI-2
          LG Optimus 4X HD P880
          HTC One X
(the idea being that perhaps we can go through the list from google in the play store and limit the devices its on, but at least with this solutuon as described below we can get rid of the "not availabe on your device" notice.)
So before you read on, consider that for your end users. If you find a way to fix this, let me know, I have considered turning off hardware acceleration but have not tested this yet.
2- if you choose to attempt this make sure you have a good understanding of command line AND you have a new version of the app ready if you want to roll back.
consider this concept: (you should have these ready)
app a- made by Adobe DPS app builder, works on only large and x-large android screens, lets say its version 100000 and 2.5.5.000. This is already in your google.play store account as a live app,
app b- the app you are about to build in this example below, it will in theory work on small, medium, large, and x-large android screens, lets say its version is 110000 and 2.9.9.000 (it will be MADE FROM APP A, you will open it, edit it, and wrap it back up.)
app c- made by Adobe DPS app builder, works on only large and x-large android screens, lets say its version 200000 and 3.5.5.000 (which would be good to have in case your version b above does not work the way you want)
notice the VERSION codes. These are important because you can only go UP, you can not "roll back" to a previous version.
Again, I do not suggest this, but if you are daring and have some development background, feel free to give it a shot.
(I am not going to be able to support this info, but I can verify 100% that I got mine working, very poorly and slow, but it installs, pulls folios, and loads)
PC WINDOWS ONLY, I have not tried this on a MAC.
get this:
http://www.7-zip.org/
install it
get this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
read all about it.
go here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
get:
          apktool1.4.3.tar.bz2
and
          apktool-install-windows-r04-brut1.tar.bz2
put them all in 1 folder, extract both items, all the way
the grab the
          android-viewer.apk
that Adobe DPS made, or whatever yours is named...
and the
          release.keystore
you made and put them in the same "stuff" folder. there should be 20 items total in here now.
get this:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u30-download-1377139.html
          jdk-6u30-windows-x64.exe
do NOT use any other version, do NOT use version 7, use version 6.
install it all. then find it. should be here- (C://program files/Java/)
I recomend grabbing it all and putting it in your ROOT like this:
C://Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
then, put everything from the "stuff" folder into C://Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
yep, all of it.
now we are ready to get funky...
run cmd line.
open start menu, type
cmd
into the search bar, hit enter
-------- run command line, get to proper directory
cd ..
cd ..
cd Java/jdk1.6.0_30/bin
(or wherever your 'stuff' is)
--------open up
apktool d android-viewer.apk android-viewer
(this will make a folder called 'android-viewer' and you will be able to go into that folder and find the XML files in there)
--------edit XML
in file: /android-viewer/AndroidManifest.xml
open up in dreamweaver and change this stuff:
android:versionCode="_ENTER_NEW_NUMBER_" android:versionName="_ENTER_NEW_NUMBER_"
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
in file: /android-viewer/assets/META-INF/AIR/application.xml
open up in dreamweaver and change this stuff:
          <versionNumber>_MATCH_ABOVE_</versionNumber>
          <versionLabel>_MATCH_ABOVE_</versionLabel>
<supports-screens android:smallScreens='true' android:normalScreens='true' android:largeScreens='true' android:xlargeScreens='true'/>
--------package it back up
apktool b android-viewer android-viewer-new.apk
(this will repackage the folder into a new APK, note the name -new.apk added to the end)
--------Sign
jarsigner -keystore release.keystore -signedjar android-viewer-signed.apk android-viewer-new.apk YOUR_ALIAS
(now you need to sign the -new apk and recreate it as signed)
--------Verify
jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs android-viewer-signed.apk
(if the last line does not say 'successfully verified' and there is an error, make sure you are using version 6 of JDK and not 7)
--------Update APK in play store
Visit this page
http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/about/distribution.html#instant
read the line that says "Instant publishing, instant updates"
while you do, understand you are being lied to, it takes anywhere from 30 min to 4 hours for your update to be "instant".
take the new "android-viewer-signed.apk"
rename it, upload it, activate it, de activate the old one.
important: beofe you click save, switch over to the "product details" tab and update your version notes.
head over to your app page in the play store.
sit there and click refresh every 10 min or take a nap and come back in a few hours.
when you finally see the version number has updated, go to the browser on your phone
find your app in the browser, refresh the page, make sure its got the new version number on it.
install it on your small screen device, cross your fingers, and hope you do not get a message that says "not signed properly"
if you do, feel free to start googling the stuff above to see where you went wrong.
If it does work, go to your boss and have him download it and run it and say "see, there ya go, its on your phone now" and when he says it does not work hand him a minni screw driver and a 1.6GHz Quad-core from the Galaxy Note II and tell him to simply upgrade the procssor in his phone because its too slow. lol.
-good luck and enjoi

Hi,
This is very interesting. I'm not an expert but i could do almost all the steps, but i can not do the sign step. i dont know where my release.keystore is. i created a .key.p12 file, is it?
I'm trying to do this for a Galaxy SIII
Thank you

Native android apps - with DPS single edition?

Can you build native android apps also with DPS single edition or only with enterprise edition?
Thank you for you help!

Thank you for your reply, Bob!
I've forgotten to ask the most important thing: This also stays that way for DPS V30?
Thank you!

Is DPS really necessary to create an Android app?

Is DPS really necessary to create an Android app? I ask because I'm trying to create my first app and a colleague of mine bought DPS but then cancelled his subscription because he found a tutorial that showed that all he needed was InDesign (he's running CS6 on a Mac but I'm running CC(2014) on a PC running Windows 7). When he selects a folio in the Folio Builder and then selects the options dropdown in the top right hand corner of the box he has an option to 'Create App' but for me that doesn't exist. Can anyone explain this please?
I have so far managed to upload my folio to the DPS Dashboard and from within that I have published it, tested it on my Android device using the 'Adobe Content View' that I downloaded from the 'Google Play store' and I've also exported my app from the DPS Dashboard as a .zip file. What I can't do (or don't understand how to do) is the next bit. How do I get from the .zip to an app with its own icon. Do I have to purchase a DPS account to go any further? Also worth mentioning is that I don't want to upload this app to the 'Google Play Store' as I only intend it to run on a few tablets.
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks Bob, can I also ask...am I right in thinking that a single-folio app cannot be created for Android? What I want to do is simply have a single page view divided into six areas and clinking on one of the 6 areas plays a video full screen and then at the end returns to the page showing the six videos...nothing fancy!
Thanks,
Joe

When will the SAP Mobile BI Android SDK to embed analytic views (Web Intelligence reports and Dashboards) in custom mobile Android App be supported/

hi all,
SAP Mobile BI IOS SDK provides such SDK to embed analytic views (Web Intelligence reports and Dashboards) supported by the SAP BI application inside your own custom mobile applications, while Android SDK does not provide such sdk. I would like to know if there is any plan or roadmap to support this interface in Android SDK?

Thank you Vishwanath for your reply. We already developed an Android App, and just want to embed and open SAP BO report directly inside our own App, instead of launching SAP Mobile BI App.

When will we be able to create Android Apps with DPS single edition?

When will we be able to create Android Apps with DPS single edition?

It's something that we would like to do, but it is unlikely to happen during the first half of 2013.

How do I get my iPad single edition articles into my android App?

Hi,
I'm in troubles getting an android version of my reader app up and running.
I have an iPad app (1024x768) that works well.
It is published as a single edition app with my Creative Cloud account.
Now I wanted to release an Android version.
That's what I did:
-I tried my iPad app with the android content viewer on my device (nexus 7): it scaled down but it was okay
-I bought a Professional edition.
-I created a multi edition app container with the DPS App Builder
- The DPS App Builder did not accept my Adobe ID, but required an application ID which I created.
-I created the apk file and copied it to my device (Nexus 7)
-I opened the app on the device - it was empty.
-I shared the folio of my iPad app from my main adobe id to the new application ID, then I copied it with my application ID in the folio producer organizer to a new folio and uploaded some articles again. But the app on the device remained empty.
-I made a brand new folio and imported a new article . Butmy android app remained empty
What do I have to do to see folios in my android app?
Thanks you
Hans

It sounds like you need to publish the folio as Public. Only public published folios appear in a custom viewer app.

Dynamic check box status android app

Hello All,
               I desperately need your help. I have created dynamically created check boxes depending on my selection for my android app using the following code snippet.
for(var i:int=0 ; i<data.PromptText.length; i++)
                                                   chk = new CheckBox();
                                                   chk.label= data.PromptText.getItemAt(i);
                                                   chk.name=data.ResponsePromptID.getItemAt(i);
                                                   chk.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ClickEvent);
                                                   chk.width = 1000;
                                                   chk.height = 50;
                                                   addElement(chk);
Now after click on each check box, I need to check which check box of the list of check boxes created ?
Please help me, this is driving me nuts.

Hi,
I see you have "addElement" rather than "addChild", so this is Flex, right?
So there is an easier way to do that in any case, I think.
For example, you could use CheckBox to create a custom renderer and then use your PromptText IList as dataProvider to a list, something like this:
1. Your item renderer
[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Dreamweaver and PhoneGap: How to Edit the Application Manifest for an Android app

I successfully created an Android app using dreamweaver cs6 and the PhoneGap build service. I submitted the app and it is live in Google Play. The only problem is that the app is requiring all kinds of permissions from users that are not necessary for the app. The app requires Internet access, but it does not require access to the camera or the user's contacts, etc. I understand that this information is held in the Application Manifest file, but I don't know where that file is.
Can you help me figure out how to edit the Application Manifest file for my android app?
Thanks,
Michael

To edit permissions, you do so in the config.xml file. After making changes, you can directly upload on build.phonegap.com or from within Dreamweaver.
See this page for info on customizing config.xml: https://build.phonegap.com/docs/config-xml#features

How to configure customized rich text editor in a dialog

I have a customized rich text editor component in my project which i want to use it in a dialog component.
I tried by changing the xtype value from 'richtext' to the customized rich text editor path as '/apps/project1/components/shared/text_rte' but i am not able to see the editor.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1946426/html-5-is-it-br-br-or-br for your <br> example. <br/> is XHTML, not necessarily needed in HTML5.

Android app release lag

I get that there is certain pressure due to Apple music to get iOS functions out as soon as possible, but why am I starting to feel that all andoid users are being left waiting due to this? Spotify has released a number functions, including Running, on iOS a good two months ago already and their dates are still TBA on the Android app.
Now I am aware of the beta version for android that does have the functions (I wasn't fast enough to join the beta, of course), but that isn't much comfort for a paying customer having the negative side effect of preferrential prioritisation(?).Can spotify at least give a small peace of mind and announce the release date of the functions so I can consider if it's worth paying full price for only a portion of the full service?

Anbody know if the new release of AIR 3.2 will fix this problem. Or if there is an alternative solution?

Suspend Android app on exit

I got a suggestion from a customer concerning my Android app. When you exit the app, it continues to play in the background (unlike iOS). I would like to add functionality to the app (game) to pause (suspend) on exit. I tried some different coding version with out luck. The Android tablet (and phones) I test it on ignores the code and the games timer continues to tick down. I'm using Flash Pro CC with AS3. Not sure what the problem could be at this point!

Your app would get rejected in some stores, certainly the Samsung one. The basics are that you have deactivate and activate listeners, and those need to pause your game. For some of my apps all I need to do is make the sound volume be zero, then on activate I set the volume back to what it was before. If you have more complex game play you would want to have a pause button anyway, and the deactivate event would just call the same routines that the pause buttons uses.

DPS native Android Viewer

I currently have an app in the iTunes store and am trying to expand into Android ( Google Play ) and am using the new web-based DPS native Android Viewer...
1. Can my AppName be the same as in the iTunes Store ?
2. Can my Bundle ID be the same as in the Apple Bundle ID ?
3. In the library pane when I choose "Configure", the only options are 768x1024 - why is this. I want a PDF based solution that will scale to the users device's ratio... ??

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Ignore that section of App Builder. It's called "advanced" for a reason and you don't need to use it.
