How do I cutomize a Desktop App ?

Let's say I'd like to create an interface that looks very similar to msn messenger or skype ( I mean the shape of those applications) Where and how do I do that ? did anyone find that tutorial ? thanks in advance ...

I love BlackBerry technologies but data communication between a BlackBerry and a PC is far from easy (= very tough) and very specific to the BlackBerry world.
You could do your school project with a Windows Mobile device that does LDAP and SyncML. Those are mainstream standards, very well documented.
if you want to stick to BlackBerry, on top of this page there is a "DEVELOPERS" link.
good luck.

  • How to launch an Air desktop app from a second Air desktop app?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to launch an Air desktop app from a second Air desktop app?
    I'm using Air 4 with Flash CS 6 on Windows.
    Thanks

    According to Adobe documentation, AIR doesn't allow you to launch one application using another on desktop. The best bet that I could find at the moment would be to use the File.openWithDefaultAppilcation() function and open a file(like a .doc or .txt file) that has an AIR app set as the default application to use for X filetype. Unfortunately, launching app(.exe, .app, etc) files directly is not allowed. Probably for safety/security reasons. You might be able to get around that with a Native Extension though. Below is a link to the File.openWithDefaultApplication() method which includes a table of all the filetypes not allowed. Tried messing around with some ways around it, but the best I could do was open a new Finder window(testing on a Mac) and highlight the file. The code below assumes that both AIR apps are installed in the same app directory. Not sure how it would work on Windows but the result might be the same. For Mac, no special characters or anything was needed even though the app I was trying to open had spaces in the filename.
    var filePath:String = "file://" + File.applicationDirectory.nativePath + "/App to highlight.app";
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(filePath));

  • How to install CS6 without desktop app

    I have a Creative Cloud subscription and want to run InDesign on my laptop as well as on my iMac. I downloaded InDesign CC to the laptop but what I really need is to install CS6. Problem is that my laptop runs OS X 10.6.8, so I can't download the desktop app. The Adobe Application Manager doesn't give me the option to install an older version of InDesign. How do I install InDesign CS6 without the desktop app??

  • How To Launch Servlet from Desktop App

    Hello Everyone,
    I recently started my programing in JavaEE. First lesson was Servlets.
    My servlet takes the name and a number from a user using a html form and returns a wellcoming message to the user and calculates PI with "number" decimals.
    Well it works using a html form but the next exercise is to launch the servlet from a desktop application. I searched like 2 hours on google and different sites for this. I saw a hint about creating a framework(code was writen in 2001).
    I really really have no idea how to launch the Servlet from a desktop client application.

    The exercise says:
    PI Servlet
    Write a servlet capable of calculating the PI number with a specified number of decimals. Access this servlet:
    1. From a browser, using a HTML form
    2. From a desktop application
    For the calculation of PI use Machin formula PI/4 = 4 arctan(1/5) - arctan(1/239) or a similar one.
    For the calculation of arctan function use Taylor series: arctan(x) = x - (x^3)/3 + (x^5)/5 - (x^7)/7 + (x^9)/9 ...
    My servlet looks like this: without the Methods for calculating PI:
    protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
             try {
                int len = request.getContentLength();
                byte[] input = new byte[len];
                ServletInputStream sin = request.getInputStream();
                int c, count = 0 ;
                while ((c = sin.read(input, count, input.length-count)) != -1) {
                    count +=c;
                sin.close();
                String inString = new String(input);
                int index = inString.indexOf("=");
                if (index == -1) {
                    response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST);
                    response.getWriter().print("Eroare la servlet");
                    response.getWriter().close();
                    return;
                String value = inString.substring(index + 1);
                //decode application/x-www-form-urlencoded string
                String decodedString = URLDecoder.decode(value, "UTF-8");

                out.println("<br />" + result);
                out.println("</body>");
                out.println("</html>");
            } finally {
                out.close();

  • How to use creative cloud desktop app with proxy

    I currently work at a company where a proxy server is in use, and the desktop CC app doesn't seem to detect it, It returns the no internet connection error. The Retry button doesn't actually retry.

    Webhosting plan included in CC does not include email hosting thus, you can purchase webBasics+ plan of Adobe Webhosting or choose some free email hosting providers to do that.
    Refer to the buying guide for Adobe Web Hosting: http://www.adobe.com/in/products/web-hosting/buying-guide.html

  • How do I update my desktop app

    Ok. So I have a function 'initUpdate'

      appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, updateInitialized);

      trace(appUpdater.configurationFile);
      trace(appUpdater.currentVersion);
      trace(appUpdater.isUpdateInProgress);

    I packaged this app, then installed it on my computer.
    then I created another app then increased the version number in 'application.xml'
    I packaged the app and put it on the web 'https://web/address/to/myApp.air'
    I opened the app that I had installed previously and did not receive any update prompt.
    did I miss something?
    from:
    [code]
    public function updateInitialized(ue:UpdateEvent):void {
      trace('update initialized');

    the only output I get is 'update initialized'. nothing else.
    I am using the air 14 sdk.

  • Installed apps have disappeard from CC Desktop app

    I've run into some trouble with the last CC Desktop app update (thanks a lot Adobe) and have been attempting to trouble-shoot the issue. One part of this exercise has involved me uninstalling and then re-installing the CC Desktop app. In doing so, it has apparently lost track of the fact that I have four Adobe apps installed - it now lists just the one. I've tried logging out and back in again and also junking the OOBE folder to force it to rebuild my user preference & cache: no dice. I'm on Win7 x64.
    Any suggestions on how to get my installed apps to re-appear in the CC app? Starting to wonder if re-installing them is the only way, but it seems overkill to have to do so.
    Alternatively: just how useful is this CC desktop app really? I can use the Adobe apps without it, and can access the cloud storage via my browser. Do I really need this bug ridden application running in Windows all the time? Anyone getting by withoth it?

  • Help please! CC desktop app does not see latest Adobe Muse!

    I have Muse installed for many months now and would like to update to the latest version of Muse.
    The CC desktop app maintains that my Muse is up-to-date!
    Can't be. Please help!

    I am afraid this is NOT the case with me.
    I am not trying to install Muse.
    I would like to update my current version of Muse which I had downloaded with ACC app as I am a CC member. The download desktop app thinks my Muse is up to date, WHICH IT ISN'T!
    So, how do I get the desktop app to recognise that my Muse is not the latest version.
    Any good suggestions would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • How do I install CC Desktop and Apps to a drive other than "C"?

    After several problems, help from the forum, and finally an Adobe tech from India, the tech was able to install CC Desktop.  The tech had to make hidden files visible, and change an existing file OO?? (I can't remember the last two letters") to OO??_old.  Maybe this will help someone else.
    Perhaps I'm wrong, but as the tech was downloading and installing CC Desktop, I didn't see any option for which drive to install it on.  I am now installing CC apps.  I see no option as to which drive to install the app.
    I have my computer setup as C: operating system; D: sctratch; E: programs; F: files, G: cd/dvd.
    How can I install CC Desktop to "E"?  If done, will CC apps automatically install on "E"?  Will CC Desktop work properly on other than "C" drive?   Will CC apps work properly on other than "C" drive?  If CC Desktop should always be on "C", can I stll install CC apps on "E"?  I get no dialog box or window providing an option of where to install any of the CC programs.

    While CCApp Prefs does give you this option, it doesn't respect the settings and still installs to C: Drive. This is a big problem for those using an SSD drive to boot. Why would something as simple as choosing your install folder, like every other application in the world be an issue that has taken over a year to fix?

  • How to connect a Desktop app to a middle teir server app?

    Please tell me if i have posted this in the incorrect forum.
    I currently have a Desktop app that connects directly to a mySQL database. The persistence abilities have been really helpful since our database is still evolving. I have been frustrated by the differences in the SE persistence implementation. I have had to do some hackish things to ensure that the app retrieves the current information. I don't like connecting directly to the database from the desktop app, even though security is not a worry. I have been thinking that the best solution is to have a JEE app running that the desktop app connects to. This also would act as a sort of api for accessing our data, so if and when i create other client desktop apps i don't have to recreate the wheel. From what i gather i will want to run an application server such as tomcat or glassfish. I'm not sure if i understand why though. Since i have control of the server, couldn't i directly open ports for communication to the clients?
    Assuming that there are many ways to pass information between them, advice on the most effective would be nice. I'm guessing serializing objects for passing would be the fastest, but using something like XML, would be a lot easier to monitor.
    Although i have done a lot of reading, i'm still baffled by the EE lingo.
    EJB: kind of like a modular program that facilitates server to server communication?
    JSF: package up stuff for viewing/ running an application through a browser?
    Servlets: Mystifying, which leads me to think that they are what i'm looking for.
    Any advice would be helpful. I'm hoping that there is not some type of restriction in regards to connecting a JSE6 app to a JEE6 app. I basically want to have the best of both worlds.
    Thank you,
    Chip

I'm not sure if i understand why though.If you have a middle teir, you imply that you want frontend and a backend also, the function of the middle teir is to insolate and abstract the backend from the frontend. This is the significant difference from what you have now: client server--frontend and a backend.
    The middle tier, as you have implied, is where you put your access to your backend. And, yes, you are creating an interface to your DB there, wherein you will develop an entire API for accessing your DB. This will give you added security by not letting your clients know anything about your backend.
    Now, how do you access this middle tier? There are several options there, but a few options are:
    1 - Running direct socket communication
    2 - Web Services: code ran on the server to extend the functionality and open services on the middle tier.
    3 - Applets: code ran in the browser on client side to access the server and it's services.
    Assuming that there are many ways to pass information between them, advice on the most effective would be nice. I'm guessing serializing objects for passing would be the fastest, but using something like XML, would be a lot easier to monitor.At this point you are the only one that can answer that question: there are arguments for an against most method that could be picked. Let's take for instance an object that contains 1 usable byte of data. Is it better to serialize the object for that one byte? Send XML to a DB? Or, perhaps, just send the byte of info and synthesize appropriate key information? You have to look at what you are trying to achieve and your requirements.
    Even a scratch of the surface discussion is not possible here, let alone, a howto on implementation for your enterprise. I suggest hitting the tutorials and finding a good book.
    Do you have specific questions? Ones that can be answered in a paragraph or two.

  • I have downloaded the creative cloud desktop app, but the app tab says 'download error', download creative cloud. HOW CAN I FIX THIS

    I am using a mac
    I want to sign up for a subscription to adobe cc. I have recently used fully used my 30 day trial, and when I decided to purchase it, my creative cloud desktop app wouldn't let me. It kept saying I had no internet connection (I tried a few different internet connections to be sure it wasn't my internet). I then uninstalled the creative cloud, as well as all the products. For a while I kept getting error 201, and 207 when I tried downloading the cc app again.
    I have now used a mac cleaner to fully remove adobe. When I tried to download it again, it downloaded fully. But when I click on the apps tab, it says 'Download Error'.

  • CC desktop app (windows) doesn't show latest versions of CC apps for installation. How do I fix it?

    I've been a CC member since the start; about 6 months ago the CC desktop app on my main desktop PC stopped showing the latest versions of most applications (for example Photoshop, Illustrator, etc., only showed the 'CS' version), and stopped giving me alerts of updates. It still works fine on my (much lower spec) laptop.
    I tried the various fixes (e.g. deleting the opm.db file in 'AppData/Local/adobe/OODB) but it didn't resolve the problem; I had a work around (downloading installation files from the Adobe website, and using the 'check updates' function in all of the apps).
    With the recent up update, and the release of the '(2014)' versions, these work arounds no longer work. The CC Desktop app still does not show most current applications, and trying to download apps from the Adobe website sends me to the CC Desktop app, which then doesn't download the new application.
    I foolishly thought a completely clean installation might help, so I uninstalled all my Adobe apps, ran the 'cleaner' app, & tried over ... things have gone from bad to worse, because I can't even get the old (pre-'2014') versions of the desktop applications to download in order to install.
    My immediate problem is not having a working version of Photoshop on my main PC - the 'CS' version is available to me through the CC Desktop app, but not the 'CC' or 'CC (2014)' versions.
    The spec of the PC is above the minimum spec for the 'CC' apps, so I don't think that is the problem.
    - Win 7 Pro SP 1, 64-bit
    - Intel i7-3770K (3.5Ghz quad core)
    - 16GB RAM
    - 650GB free disk space
    - etc.
    Any ideas welcomed as to how to resolve this; I'm at my wits end ...
    Ian

    Thanks for the reply Rave, but unfortunately that does not address my problem - my PC comfortably exceeds the minimum spec for the applications.
    Of the three onward links from that page -
    (1) "For additional information please see Creative Cloud Help | Missing CC apps from my Creative Cloud Desktop app" is a dead link (>"Sorry, this page is not available")
    (2) "If you have confirmed that your computer meets and exceeds all of the listed System requirements then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed." I had already worked through the 'solutions' on that page, culminating in the (bad) advice in 'Solution 4' which is what has got me into this current mess;
    (3) "If you have already have Download Adobe Creative Cloud application you can use Download Center : Adobe Creative Cloud for your Product Download." isn't helpful as the download links send me back to the CC Desktop app, & it still won't allow me to download the 'CC' or 'CC (2014)' applications.
    Thanks again, but do you have any other suggestions?
