How to run Adobe Air App as Windows Service

I am working on Adobe Air application. Everything about coding and configuration have been good so far but I have some major road blocks down the road:
1. Schedule my application to run at certain time.
2. Run the application in the System Tray like a Daemon app
Does Adobe support for configuring the application to run in System Tray like a Gmail notifier app now? If it does, is it possible for me to have it configure for both Windows and Mac systems?
If anyone has any pointers or tips, please feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance.

Last night I got some time to try out your example from "Working with the dock and the system tray"
It is really impressive to see how easy you can animate the icon on the taskbar, but it doesn't particularly achieve my goal to have a cross-platform taskbar app running.
I tried to work with Java yesterday and got their Taskbar module working on both platforms. It solves the basic issue. But then I realize Java is missing the Webkits Adobe Air is offering. So I need two Apps in order to achieve the goal to re-use my web app on the desktop. Now I am considering to learn more about the extend feature you mentioned to let the Java application works like a remote control for the Air application's instances.
So here are some of my current concerns: is it possible to be able to have input from java app into air application's elements? Does Adobe's intergrated runtime support incorporating Java as part of the app like it does with SWF and javascript? Or is there any bridge I can use to have the two applications communicate with one another?

  • Run Adobe AIR app as Windows Service

    I have an app which monitors an RSS feed. Upon an emergency,
    the RSS feed is updated. The app detects the change and launches
    (from the taskbar/dock) full screen, plays an alarm sound and
    displays the message.
    Is it possible to run this app as a service (I know that
    there are several software options to enable this) - my question is
    directed towards launching the full screen warning. Can I utilize
    the windowing API before a user logs in if the app runs as a
    service?
    I have tested this using a couple of those software options
    with no success.
    Does anyone else have any ideas or answers?

    John, did you ever find a solution for running an Adobe AIR app as a Windows Service?

    Actually Java and C# are match racing... That is the longer they are developed the more alike they become... ergo they're suffering the wind-tunnel effect... they're copying each others weaknesses. This is a car. This is a lunch box.

  • Running an AIR app as a service.

    Hi, I'm trying to use the ServerSocket class in AIR to make a server of some sort.  The problem is that I cannot get it to run as a windows service.  I used "sc create" to create the service.  I don't call nativeWindow.activate, so there shouldn't be a UI.  The service is set to log on as my user.  But when I try to run it, I get "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion".
    How can I get it to run as a service?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Hi Sean,
    Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to this question, but I'm hoping others in the community can help out.  Running AIR as a service has been a popular request, but not something we officially support at this time.  There have been a couple of feature requests made for this that I'd encourage you and others interested to go vote on:
    Run AIR app as a service on a server machine without user logon on the machine
    Register and run as Services on OS
    Googling "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion" returns quite a few hits, with responses ranging from increasing time out lengths, changing logon account types, and many other service property tweaks.
    Please let us know if your able to get this to work and hopefully others can contribute their experiences as well.

  • How to get Adobe Air-apps to run *properly*? (Voddler ecpecially)

    First: I am running AMD64, and have installed the bin32-adob-air from AUR.
    The problem is, this does not work as it should. Air apps are never "installed" like they would be in Windows, or Ubuntu with the adobe-air from adobe installed. This causes problems with remembering configs and storing data between instances. Wimp, t.ex. will never remember my password, now matter how many times I check the remember password-box. And When running VOddler it just won't find the config file.
    I am trying to run Voddler in linux now, following this. But it won't work.
    I just get an "error reading config file" message when starting it using the adobe-air command (ie. the script from the package. Thinking the problem might be caused by the script running air apps from a temp dir, i aslo tried to run
    [gert@blad opt]$ /opt/adobe-air-sdk/bin/adl -nodebug /opt/airapps/VoddlerPlayer/META-INF/AIR/application.xml /opt/airapps/VoddlerPlayer
    after unpacking the Voddler Files there, but no luck.
    I see that there are a newer version of Voddler out now, and I will try that, but I'd appreciate any help with this spesific issue.
    Also, I would like to know if there is any way to get the "full Air experience" where you jut click-and go, and can install Air-apps the simple, proper way "everybody else" does it. Cause Air right now is a major hassle. Is there any chance of getting the Adobe-Air installer from Adoe work on Arch, or at least get a similar result? Integrated in the system, detected in the browser on  webpages etc.

  • AIR app as Windows Service

    Hi!
    I have one question.
    Is it possible to create AIR application which will work like

    I'm not sure if this will work, or even why you'd want to do

    but there is a program in the Windows server resource kit
    called SRVANY.EXE

  • Adobe Air apps in Windows 10 app store

    Do the changes coming in the Window 10 app store provide any hope for air applications making there way in?

    Hi Juan Pablo,
    I was able to reproduce the problem, but, the behavior is the same regardless of whether the app runs on Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. It's not that the problem only happens with the Windows 10 version of the app, since I see the same pixilation behavior on
    both versions of the app.
    Are you seeing a different behavior - meaning that the app renders the circle smoothly during transitioning on Windows 8.1, but pixelates on Windows 10?
    Thanks,

  • No Adobe air app will run Only Flash Web browser....

    So I have re-installed Flash Builder So when I try and run a Adobe air app from the Flash Builder It brings up a prompt everytime saying - If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run. When I kill the Adobe Air debugger in the Task manager it pops up again saying If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run.
    After waiting a few moments from trying again I get a message: Unable to connect to the Application to fetch profile data. Please try profiling the application again.
    With Flash based - web browser apps - they run fine with no issue. How ever its only adobe air - desktop apps that run this way. This is the third time I have installed FB 4.5 on Windows 7 64 bit. last night it was all woprking fine I was able to debug my Flash Application and everything was working  - it has been doing this all day.

    I had the same issue suddenly today
    After hours of scratching my head - and just before re-installing FlashBuilder 4.5 - I found this suggestion
    I had an entry in the "mm.cfg" file:

  • Problem running AIR app on windows server 2003

    Hello,
    I have an AIR app that I am trying to run from a Java program under Windows 2003. (It runs perfect on XP and Vista.)
    The problem is whenever I try to run the AIR app, it runs "Adobe AIR Updater.exe" which causes the app to not run. And both the process stop responding. I can see them both in Task Manager. I disabled the AIR automatic updates using the Settings Manager application but it still runs the Adobe AIR Updater.exe file.
    Any help to resolve this problem would be highly appreciated.

    Not sure about  copying eulaAccepted file from one location to another - that would really depend on which user account your service is running under.
    A better approach (IMHO), is to open the services window (My Computer | <right-click> | Manage, then navigate to Services and expand the tree) so you can see your service on the RHS.
    Stop your service, then inspect it's properties, select the 'Log on' tab, then check the checkbox which says "Allow system to interact with desktop". Apply the change, then restart your service.
    next time the AIR runtime prompts you to accept the EULA, the window will appear on the screen, so you can click "I accept".
    After accepting, reverse the procedure which allowed the service to interact with the desktop, and make sure that you have modified the registry to prevent AIR from updating as mentioned in:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_admin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3 d11c0f59823a-7ff0.html
    You should be all set.

    Hiya, Coders :-)
    I am an absolute beginner.
    I have copied a little window program from "Java 2 in easy steps".
    I run it from the command line and a little window pops up.
    I cannot find a way to start the app without the command prompt.
    How can I make a shortcut to start it?

    Hiya, Coders ;-)
    As it happens, I have a game from UJ Software: "Shisen for Java".
    It has a shortcut, of course.
    Here are all its details just in case it helps ...
    The game folder is here:
    C:\Program Files\UJ Software\Shisen for Java\jShisen.jar
    Contents of the installed shortcut ...
    General:
    Type of file: Shortcut
    Opens with: Java(TM) Platform SE binary
    Location: C:\Documents and Settings\Julian Bury\Start Menu\Games
    Shortcut:
    Target Type: Executable Jar File
    Target location: Shisen for Java
    Target: "C:\Program Files\UJ Software\Shisen for Java\jShisen.jar"
    Start in: "C:\Program Files\UJ Software\Shisen for Java\"
    Run: Normal window
    I don't suppose this will help.
    It strikes me that nobody knows for certain how to run a java app!
    I have two beginner's books, neither of which mentions anything beyond the command prompt.
    Tricks to minimize the console window are just not professional!
    The solution must be written authoritatively somewhere ...
    has anyone seen it, please?
