Google Play with DPS

I have a few multi-folio with subscription apps on Apple iPad and want to branch out to test the Google Play market. Many of the in-app purchases are built at 768x1024 portrait only dimensions and I believe Google Plays dimensions are a little different. How do you handle building apps and in-app purchases in regards to the document size differences ??

I've tried out a bunch of different solutions, and the best (which is far from perfect) is to build one version of my publication at 1205x800 (for portrait, if you want dual orientation go 1205x725). This compensates for the menu bar while avoiding any major letter boxing on any 1280x800 device, which hits the current crop of popular Android tablets, as well as enabaling you to submit to the Amazon store for the Kindle Fire HD 7".
It's a pain to have to do a second rendition, but it's better than doing four or five different rendition. But also, remember to build the folio as a JPG or PNG.

Upload Failed on Google Play

We are trying to upload our Android native app to Google Play with "Enable GooglePlay™ in-app purchase" turned on. When we try to upload the APK, we get an error stating we need to zip align the APK. I can find no mention of this in any DPS documentation?
How do we zip align an APK?

Did you sign your apk using the DPS Signing Tool before attempting to upload to Google Play? Follow the steps for building native Android apps at Digital Publishing Suite Help | Building native DPS apps for Android devices.

Google Play and Bill my Telstra account

If you're a Telstra mobile customer with an Android device, you can now bill your Google Play purchases (such as apps, games, movies, books and even music) to your Telstra account. Or if you're on Telstra Pre-Paid you can pay for your Google Play purchases from your main account balance, providing you have sufficient funds available.
Charge an app to your Telstra bill or pay with your pre-paid recharge credit
You will firstly need to have a registered Google Play account. Then follow the below steps to successfully bill an app, movie, game, book or music to your Telstra account:
Step 1
Choose your app, book, movie, music or game
Step 2
Click Accept and Buy
Step 3
Select Bill my Telstra account
Step 4
Confirm your billing details
Step 5
Click Accept and Buy Once your payment has been authorised you can then open the app, game, movie, music or book
Note:To purchase via your Pre- Paid account you will need sufficient funds available from your main account balance to cover your purchase. You are not able to use your Bonus Cap Credit to purchase apps, books, movies, games or music.
Things you should know about 'bill my Telstra account
You can set your spend limit to $0 which will grey out the 'Bill my Telstra' account option. You will still be able to pay for items via credit card. You will need to call us on 13 22 00 to set up or change the spend limits.
Your 'Bill my Telstra account' is greyed out because the content that you are about to purchase has exceeded the limit for carrier billing which is set to $100. Please use a credit card to complete your purchase. Alternatively you can increase the per month limit by calling us on 125 111. This can be increased to $500 per month but has to be done in $100 increments. Pre-paid customers have a $500 per month content spend limit.
Your 'Bill my Telstra account' is greyed out when the content that you are about to purchase has exceeded the content spend limit for a one off' app, book, game, music or movie purchase using Bill my Telstra account as a payment option. This limit is set to $100 and can't be increased. If you want to purchase items over this amount you need to use a credit card.
You can set your 'Bill my Telstra account' for Google Play or other BigPond content services spend limit to $0. This will restrict the service from purchasing any app, movie, book, game, music or BigPond content service like AFL Live.
Google Play can identify you as a Telstra customer from your SIM card, so even if you bring your own device (BYO) to Telstra you'll still be able to access Bill my Telstra account.
Bill my Telstra account won't work outside of Australia. You can however use your credit card to purchase apps. Make sure you set up International Roaming before you leave Australia and or take up an International Roaming Data Pack. Pre-Paid customers international roaming is automatically activated.
Bill my Telstra account for Google Play content includes in-app purchases.
Free downloads or credit card transactions will not appear on your bill, only charges using 'Bill my Telstra account' or any chargeable Google play transactions will appear on your bill.
You can check your list of purchases within your Google Play account. An email receipt from Google Play with an Order Number should also be sent to you when you make a purchase. Otherwise you can check your Telstra unbilled data by contacting us on 125 111; you can also view Pre-Paid usage - however, while our systems update regularly, as data is coming in from third parties, you should not necessarily expect data to always appear in our systems on the same day.
Bill my Telstra account for Digital Content Services is only available on devices with a SIM (e.g. not T-Hub), so you should have PIN security set. You also have the option of setting Google Play to request a log in for every purchase attempt.
Things you should know about downloading apps and downloaded apps, including app refunds
If you are logged in with your Gmail, then all the content you have downloaded (both paid and free) can be transferred between devices.
If you are moving from Pre-paid and have excess credit, you can use the credit to purchase Google Apps and transfer them to your new device before you migrate off your pre-paid service. But remember you need to choose an Android device on the Telstra network.
Once an app is installed, customers may be required to pay for premium elements such as live streaming, live events, live traffic for Navigation, credits for gaming etc. These are in-app purchases. A paid purchase is an outright payment to purchase that app, and that happens upfront before downloading.
Bill my Telstra account is limited to transactions under $100 each. A lot of shopping apps are free to download and these apps usually allow you to purchase large price items via credit card, Pay Pal and other new payment technologies due to the large dollar amount.
You have 15 minutes to return an App you don't want after the transaction and download has completed. There is a refund button within the app and process you need to follow to return the app. You won't be charged as long as you return the app within 15 minutes. This only supports App, Book, Movie, Game or music purchases, not in-App purchases like AFL Live or NRL Live monthly subscriptions.
You need to contact the app developer first, which can be done via email within the App. If the app doesn't work for your Android device they are obliged to agree to refund the money. If they do agree to a refund, a process between the app developer, Google and Telstra will be triggered.
If the app developer rejects your request, you can contact Telstra directly by calling the customer care number on your Telstra bill and we will discuss options to refund your money. However, you must first contact the developer and provide proof they have rejected the claim.
Telstra processes refunds from Google weekly. If a refund was requested within a week of the customer's bill cycle, it may not appear until next month's bill cycle.
If there are multiple refunds in a month (e.g. for 2 games), the TOTAL refunds for the month will appear as ONE Google Play line item on the Telstra bill. This just appears as a generic 'Google Play' refund and does not name the individual items purchased. This is different to purchases which each appear as individual line items with the name of the item purchases.
Charging for Pre-paid is real time. If the application isn't up to standard and you return it you will have the recharge credit applied back to your account but only if you return it within 15 minutes It may take up to seven days for billing data to appear on your account but it should usually appear within 24 hours. Our systems update bill data every few hours.Google's advice is that billing data may come through in up to seven days but usually this happens within one day. Purchases made less than seven days before your bill cycle start date may not appear until the next month's bill.

Using Google Play Developer License RSA code with Air for Android App?

What is the procedure for using Google Play Developer's provided license code (Base64-encoded RSA public key to include in your binary) for an Air for Android app in Flash?
I see the need to load a p12 file and have gone through the process of creating one for Air for iOS with OpenSSL but the Google provided key is in a different format. To start with it is delivered by copy/paste off a webpage.
I am using Flash CS5.5. I could switch to CS6 if neccesary.
Thanks

Google Play Movies no audio on Z1 Compact with Lollipop

Since updating to Lollipop (Z1 Compact on O2 UK), audio on Google Play Movies (downloaded films to internal or SD card) is skipping / freezing every few seconds. The video then has to pause to allow the sound to catch up. This makes movies unwatchable and Google are unable to solve the issue. Can anyone from Sony help? If not, how do I go back to the older Android build?

This is not a Sony problem, but a Google problem (in my opnion).When I look at Google Play Movies in the Play Store, I see plenty of complaints of Samsung owners that have the same problem. When people think that everything just magically works with iOS, that's not what I see.Just look at the latest update of iOS: http://www.cnet.com/news/apple-music-gets-a-few-fixes-with-ios-itunes-updates/Just a few examples: Resolves issues that could prevent turning on iCloud Music Library.Resolves an issue that hides added music because Apple Music was set to show offline music only.Resolves several issues for artists while posting to Connect. And that is for a company that controls both the hardware and the software. To be fair, Apple is able to push out updates much quicker than most Android manufacturers. But the Stagefright bug might have a silver lining.Samsung and LG have announced they will release monthly security updates.It looks like the telephone providers are loosing their iron grip on (delaying) updates for smart phones and this might pave the way for independent updates for all Android manufacturers. And before we get a discussion on Stagefright, it's highly unlikely that Android phones get taken over by hackers. The most likely outcome is a crashing phone and you have to reboot.http://www.androidauthority.com/android-bugs-not-exploitable-google-security-measures-629716/ You might have people that will claim that something like Stagefright will never happen on iOS.Those kind of people have either a very short memory, or are completely blind for iOS issues.Remember the SMS (text message) that could crash an iOS device?http://www.techtimes.com/articles/55893/20150527/one-text-message-crash-iphone-heres-fix.htm

Why won't google play work on firefox on my laptop when it works with internet explorer?

Google play will not play a movie on firefox -- whereas it works just fine if I open in Internet Explorer. What to do? I prefer to use Firefox.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Can I attach a (google earth) file, and oppen with dps?

Hi
In ipad mail or safari I can view and open different file formats attached, as kmz in google earth, with "open in"…
Can I open google earth file (kmz) in ipad (with google earth app installed) with any html dps trick?
I tried with "HTMLResources/file.kmz" and don't work…
Thanks,
m

You might want to try having a hyperlink in your document that links to a web location that has the .kmz file located. Make the hyperlink open up in Safari, and you should be good there.
Does that work?

Dps apps getting in the google play newsstand

What is the criteria to get your app in the google play newsstand?
Why is the knot magazine in the google play newsstand and I know they use dps to create their folios/apps?? And our magazine is only in the App Store? We have tried to get answers and nobody has them? Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Google Play Newsstand is managed by Google and it isn't possible to submit a DPS app to it. You have to submit your DPS title as a native Google Play app.

Choppy sound and game play with Google Chrome.

I'm getting choppy audio and game play with Bejeweled Blitz with google chrome. I tried all the solutions offered on the "Flash player games, video, audio don't work" site. None of which helped.
Any other ideas?
running flash player version - 11.5.31.137
Chrome version - 24.0.1312.57

Do you notice any difference if you use the system version of Flash Player instead of the built in version included in Chrome?

Google Play Store shows firefox not compatible with this device even when firefox says tested for that device.

I am using Samsung Galaxy Ace (Samsung GT-S5830i) Android phone and I want to install Firefox for Android on that device.
Your website says that firefox has been tested to work with this device: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device
Still, Google Play Store shows the following messaage: This app is incompatible with your Vodafone IN Samsung GT-S5830i.
What should I do?

Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830/GT-S5358 is what is shown on the article. You are saying yours is "S5830i". There is an "i" at the end of the model which may be the restriction. I will contact one of our mobile associates to look into this if the answer provided does not meet your needs. Thank you.

Google Play Store says it's incompatible with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Firefox doesn't show up in the Google Play Store.
I already have Firefox 10, Firefox Beta 14, and Firefox Nightly (16.0a1 2012-06-26).
The exact model of my tablet is GT-P7500D (16 Gb model with 3G and Wifi)

Firefox 15 *may* be the first version that supports tablets. We are trying very hard to make the 15 time frame but with time based releases we won't know until mid to late July if we have the required work done.

The problem with updating the application in Google Play.

The problem lies in the fact that the theme was created in version 0.0.1. After the release of version 0.0.3, I decided to update the application, but loaded in the Google Play APK, encounters an error: APK version number must be greater than 1429807993. Is it possible to somehow fix it? I would not want to download the theme again, since this will be reflected in statistics and confuse consumers.

Hi, Yes it is possible, Navigate to .Project folder > open metadata file with notepad, edit the version to higher one and save it. Then open the theme creator and build it to create an apk. Regards,Shreyas.

Google Play and entitlement

We have successfully built and tested an Android app that when the test user signs on, the entitled folios display correctly with "download". We also have single issues available through Google Play and this feature works as well.
The issue we are having is when we load the app directly to our device, the sign in and entitlement works fine, but when we load the app through the Beta tester on Google Play, when the test user signs in, the entitlement does not show up, only singe copy purchases.
All the other features are working correctly.
We are using an Enterprise version of DPS
Thanks
Christopher Huber

Yes we are using the custom storefront.
Our entitlement is working correctly, i have tested it without the storefront and it works fine.

Subscriptions in google play?

Hi - Much to my dismay I have just found that the DPS viewer does not support subscriptions in google play. Does anyone know a workaround to this? Can I engineer something from the google end of things?

So then the answer is a definitive no, even if we tried to set it up through Google. Correct? I would appreciate a review of Adobe's positioning copy on all of their product descriptions to include the caveats about what works with what. For example, here is copy from the Overview of digital publishing workflow page ( http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 fff.html):
"Use the Viewer Builder to create a custom viewer app that you can submit to the Apple Store, Android Market, or Amazon Appworld. If you obtain a Single Edition license, you can create a single-issue app. If you have a DPS subscription, you can enable subscriptions, push notifications, and Omniture analytics."
Adobe fails to mention or even footnote any feature limitations across platforms. That has caused us tremendous pain and back peddling with our clients. Unless we dig deeper or search the user forums, none of these inconsistencies are accurately spelled out. My request is that, at the very least, Adobe's positioning copy includes footnotes to better inform their customers.
