Flash Professional Help | Publishing AIR for Android applications

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/publishing-air-android-applications.html

I think that this is just saying that the display is truncated. When you publish, it still uses the full path.

    The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5
    This is happening for most of the pupils and staff at our school and they are unable to complete their work.
    This also happens on a fresh copy of windows and CS5.5 without any updates and also with all latest updates.
    I have tried it on 32-bit and 64-bit CS5, Windows, Air and Java with the same error every time.
    There are a small minority of users where this works fine for them with no issue.
    I have tried re-setting user profiles.
    I have tried a local admin and domain admin account with the same issue
    I have noticed however that if the file is moved to the shared area it will compile. If it is on their documents area it will not compile. The users have full control in both locations. This is fine for staff but we are unable to give full control or modify access to the shared area for the pupil's
    I have been through the online support section and it directed me to phone Adobe Customer care who informed me that all support has been discontinued for CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 and they will only support creative cloud.
    Any ideas what to try next? There is no other information about this error and I cannot work out what is causing it.

    I have tried and  able to package an apk using your XML file.Could you please make sure your XML file starting from line 1 and coloumn 0.Any space will results in the error (Application Descriptor file cannot be parsed)

  • How to add Google Ads or similar in "AIR for Android" application?

    Hello,
    I have developed my android application (AIR for Android) in Flash Professional CS5.5. It's completed and fully tested on multiple android phones. Now I want to add Google Ads in my application to make some money.
    What I already know:
    I know that Adobe provides AdMob native extension API which allows you to add Google Ads in your app. But unfortunately, it's not free.
    What I want:
    I want a free resource through which I can add ads in my application.
    Please guide me how can I achieve this?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Flash Professional Help | Publishing for Adobe AIR for desktop

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/publishing-adobe-air-desktop.html

    This page is extremely helpful. Thank you!
    With the help of this page, I've managed to figure out how to do most of what I need to do, however, I'm having troubles creating a Mac and Linux installer for my application. So far, I have only been able to create a Windows installer (.exe). In the "general" tab, the only options I have in "output as" are "AIR package", "Windows Installer" and "Application with runtime embedded".
    I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS 6 and am using a Windows 7 computer.
    Thanks in advance.

  • CS5.5 vs. CS5 PROBLEM with publishing Air for Android

    Hello,
    My Air app publishes fine to my 2.2 and 2.3 Android Phones from Adobe Flash Professional CS5 - and the app runs fine. Debugger is clean.
    When publishing from CS5.5 however, it puts the app on the phone, but the screen turns black and the app quits (on HTC incredible v2.2). on The Evo 4G (v.2.3) the black screen stays up but app is unresponsive.
    Is there any reason an app wouldn't function because of which version of Flash Professional (CS5 vs CS5.5) it is published from?
    I've heard some people complaining that 5.5 isn't including the support files (I have an XML), but I can't see the support files or apk on my phone (utility?).
    Any insight on this would be helpful.
    Thanks.

    Contact serial number support by web chat.

  • Streaming Video in Flash Builder 4.5 AIR for Android

    How do you do it?  When you try to use the VideoDisplay that is built-in for AIR, the documentation pops up and says:
    Adobe discourages using VideoDisplay when targeting profiles: mobileDevice.
    What are you supposed to use?

    can anyone confirm if this example is the best video method for mobile. needs some extra size and position script but does work without warnings!

  • Flash cs5.5 FLVplayback Encoding Problems with Air for Android

    Dear All,
    I'm trying to play flv in my air application by using FLV playback in flash cs5.5.
    I can play flv in the pc but not on the samsung galaxy tab andriod platform.
    if anyone out there has tried out FLV playback with either an Air For Android application, where the FLV files are packaged within the app, or either streaming via normal http//:, any help  would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    First disable autoplay. It gave errors for me. Try to make the movie play with the play() command.
    to embed the movie in your air bundle, just go to publish settings for your flash project. Then in that screen go to the player settings.
    In the first GENERAL tab you'll see a the bottom that you can add files to your project
    Propably there is allready your .swf and an .xml file in there.
    Using the + icon you can add your video.
    Make sure that your video is in the same directory as your . FLA file and you can use it as is (by name)
    If for example your flashfile is in c:\mytest\mytest.fla and the video in c:\mytest\videos\myvideo.flv , then you will have to load your video as "videos/myvideo.flv" with a FORWARD slash, never use \
    Good luck

  • AIR for Android Captive Runtime

    Is it possible to package android apps with AIR (or will it be) using Flash CS5.5? I don't see anything on the web about. Just how to do it with Flex and ADT etc...

    Hi,
    I've made a complete working example for publishing an application with captive runtime, assets and native extensions starting from Flash CS5.5
    I was able to make it thanks to hints and suggestions I found in this thread.
    Note: english is not my native tongue so I hope you understand what I've written also if sometime it sounds "engrish".
    Here it is the link to the zip file:
        http://www.genereavventura.com/hosted/Air3NativeExtensions/AirVibrate.zip
    Requirements:
    - You must have Flash cs5.5 pro (obviously)
    - You must have installed the overlay for Air3.0 sdk on your Flash cs5.5 pro
    Here it is a link that explain how to accomplish it: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3939712
    Here the steps I made.
    1) Open Flash CS5.5 and create a new AIR for Android application
    2) Add the swc to the libraries used by your FLA (open Actionscript 3.0 settings and add "VibrationActionScriptLibrary.swc")
       Btw, you can find this "ready to use" native extension inside the zipfile that you can download from here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/vibration.html
       However in my example you will find also a directory named "extension" that contains it.
    3) Open and then close the "air for android settings": by doing this Flash will create yourapp-app.xml file in the directory where your FLA resides.
       For example my fla is named "vibrate.fla" so Flash created for me a "vibrate-app.xml" file.
    4) Make a copy of this "vibrate-app.xml" file by naming it "real-vibrate-app.xml" (or choose whatever name you want)
       I've done this because after modyfing the original one by adding the <extension> tag (see below) I wasn't able to test my app from within Flash IDE (when I compile it it simply doesn't start)
       Instead by doing this all worked fine.
    5) Edit the "real-vibrate-app.xml" file by adding somewhere these lines (I added it just before the <initialWindow> tag)
        <extensions>
          <extensionID>com.adobe.Vibration</extensionID>
        </extensions>
    6) Add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/> in the <android> <manifestAdditions> part in "real-vibrate-app.xml" file.
       You should do something like this:
       <android>
          <manifestAdditions>
            <![CDATA[<manifest>
              <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>
            </manifest>]]>
          </manifestAdditions>
       </android>
    7) Develop your application
       I made a simple one that loads an external jpg and shows it on the stage: then the user can tap on it to make the phone vibrate.
       The function "doVibration" is called only when the app is running on Android Device so I do not get any executions error when I run the app from within Flash Ide
    8) Publish and test it to your USB connected device by launching the "publish.bat" file I have created
       Open a dos prompt and move to your project directory then type publish.bat and press enter.
       Note: it can be that you have to edit the bat file in order to change the path to the ADT tool that comes with Air3.0 sdk
       It should be in [your adobe flash cs5.5 directory]\AIR2.6\bin\adt (rememeber, you must have installed the Air3.0 sdk overlying the old Air2.6/2.7 in the AIR2.6 directory)
       Inside the bat file you can change easily the target type (captive or not) simply by commenting/decommenting the right line.
       Captive version is about 8Mb more than the normal one but the big deal is that the user that installs it do not need the air runtime installed on his phone!
       The "big line" that creates the package is the following one:
       call %ADT_LINK% -package -target %TARGET_TYPE% -storetype pkcs12 -keystore certificate/vibrate.p12 -storepass android AirVibrate.apk real-vibrate-app.xml -extdir extensions vibrate.swf icons assets
       where:
       call %ADT_LINK%          it's just the path to the ADT tool
       -package                 it's the command that we want ADT to execute
       -target %TARGET_TYPE%    captive/non captive version
       -storetype pkcs12        certificate related
       -keystore certificate/vibrate.p12  path to your self signed certificate
       -storepass android       certificate related, I created the example certificate with "android" password and this parameters tell ADT to always use it without prompting
       AirVibrate.apk           the name of the Apk
       real-vibrate-app.xml     the apk-xml to use that is the one we modified manually above
       -extdir extensions       it's the path to the directory that contains the native extension
       vibrate.swf              the main swf
       icons                    the icons directory
       assets                   the assets directory (where I put the external jpg)
    That's all.
    If everything is correct, the batch file creates the AirVibrate.apk then installs it on your attached usb device and run it.
    When you tap over the Android image that will appear, your phone should vibrate.
    Now.. does someone wants to develop a Native Extension to show Admob banners in our Android Air Applications?
    If I missed something, please let me know.
    Thanks

  • Textfield not working in air for android

    Hi,
    I have a weird problem. An input text component that works in air for desktop refuses to work in an air for android application.
    It draws on the screen as it should but i cant input text. Am i missing something fundamental?
    It is kind of hard to log in if i cant enter credentials
    Here is the code:
       idFmt1= new TextFormat("arial",18,0x000000);
       idFmt1.align="left";
       _inputText= new TextField();
       _inputText.defaultTextFormat = idFmt1;
       _inputText.x=150;
       _inputText.height = 35;
       _inputText.width= 150;
       _inputText.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
       _inputText.background = true;
       _inputText.backgroundColor = 0xa0a0a0;
       _inputText.text = _initText;
       _inputText.tabEnabled = true;
       _inputText.tabIndex = 1;
       _inputText.displayAsPassword = false;
       _inputText.antiAliasType = flash.text.AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
       _inputText.embedFonts = true;
       _inputText.alwaysShowSelection = true;
       _inputText.mouseEnabled=true;
       addChild(_inputText);

    I can't seem to get anywhere with capturing text input! I set the "type" to TextFieldType.INPUT  but this is still ignored on both the desktop and the device. If I place an input textield on the scene in Flash, that works in so far as it brings up the Android keyboard - but then nothing you type is of any consequence.
    What could I be missing?

  • AIR for Android App - Video Issue

    Hi all,
    I've developed a Air for Android application targeted specifically for Samsung N 800.
    There is a section in the application that has a list of Thumbnails and the user can click on any thumbnail and Play appropriate video.
    When playing the video, there is a Close button and Next / Back buttons available on the screen to handle respective actions.
    The issue with the app is that, when the Video is playing, if I hit the Home button available on the Tablet, the app minimises. Now if I maximize the app from the System Tray or reopen the App from the Menu, the video continues to play, but this time the Video overlaps the Close and Next / Back, so the user is not able to close the video what so ever.
    The same issue occurs when I access any of the buttons available on the Tablets system bar on the bottom of the screen.
    Any help will be much appreciated

    I'm not sure if I completely understand you, but if I do, you want to check the Exif info to see how the image is oriented, then rotate it to show it how you want on the screen. Take a look at this post here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/875157 it may help with doing what you need. It's a little tricky and works differently for iOS and Android, but not too hard to figure out. Also, in the future, you may have more luck getting some decent answers by posting in this forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/air/development/mobile?view=discussions

  • Partial wakelock in Adobe Air for Android

    I'm developing Adobe Air (for Android) application which is intended to be constantly on. App has event based operations. However, when phone enters to sleep mode app is able to perform only one or few events in a second which is not good enough. AIR's SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE -mode is not an alternative since it is too battery consuming.
    I'm looking for a solution where phone is allowed to go into sleep mode (screen is off) but still CPU performance is not drastically dropped. Not sure if Android's partial wakelock -mode does the job and is available via ANE?

    Well Im a bit puzzled now. I just created a quick AIR app using AIR13 for Android and did a DEACTIVATE test on the NativeApplication.nativeApplication property and used a TextField to "trace" out the frame rate when the app deactivated. The frame rate stayed at 24FPS the entire time. I turned the screen off, let it turn off, went to the home screen, and switched to other apps while the test app was still running. In all cases, the frame rate never dropped to 4FPS as indicated in Adobe's documentation. So it is either something a bug or feature of AIR13+ or it is how Android KitKat handles applications in the background. Im using an unlocked/stock Moto X running Android 4.4.3. The app also appends the getTimer() call to the end so you can see that it does change. Here is a link to the quick app I created: Dropbox - deactivate.apk
    I guess if you want to download that and test it out to see how it behaves on your device and let me know the results. What device and OS are you running?
    Below is the original message I started to type before I decided to create a quick app to test with. It may or may not still be relevant based on your results from my app test.
    If you are looking at just recording information, you could probably setup something on the Android/Java side that gets started when the app "sleeps" using the DEACTIVE event as a trigger to start the ANE side of things. Then when your app "wakes", you could use the ACTIVATE event to trigger a call to the ANE to pull all the data collected in the Java side back to AIR and stop the ANE data capture since the data capture would be back to being handled by AIR.
