Issue with Amazon and AIR for Android

It appears that Flash Pro CS5.5 does not create .apks properly for the Amazon Appstore. The airDownloadURL is incorrect according to Amazon and your app will likely be rejected if you try to submit it to them. In the AIR for Android Settings, when you choose "Get AIR runtime from: Amazon Appstore" in the Deployment tab, the link Flash Pro uses for the airDownloadURL property is:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android/com.adobe.air
when it should be this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.adobe.air
As far as I can tell, there is no way to edit this within Flash CS5.5 so Adobe needs to make the change in a future update. The only way I know of around this is to create your .apk manually through the command line using the AIR SDK. It should look something like this:
adt -package -target apk -airDownloadURL http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.adobe.air -storetype pkcs12 -keystore certificate.p12 filename.apk filename-app.xml filename.swf icon36.png icon48.png icon72.png
If you don't have any experience using the AIR SDK then do some searching online. There are a ton of good resources out there.
Good luck!

For me works editing of Markets.xml file at:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\en_US\Configuration\Android\Markets.xml"
and replacing of Amazon Appstore key to
<market name="Amazon Appstore" url="http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.adobe.air"/>
That's all!

Hi Sreenivas,
I would recommend that you read the Rules of Engagement and other documents in the Getting Started link (top right) before posting anymore. Your Discussion will most likely get reported as non-specific and get removed. If you have a specific problem with TM, please post it in a new thread with error messages, version and SPs installed, and how the error occurs and what you are trying to get TM to do.
There are a lot of resources available in the TM Overview page which can help, so start there and maybe also look at some of the MKS (Monday Knowledge Session) recordings which should also be listed. There are also a lot of experienced people who can help resolve issues your TM installation, but you need to provide enough information on the problems you are having. If you are just looking for information on past problems, do a Search or simply browse through past Discussions which are marked with a green Check (Correct Answer).

You should contact the app developer about that. They are in control of what they push through Amazon, and if they did not configure it correctly it did not update the old app, but rather installed a second one. A simple fix, of course, is to just delete the old one.

Hmmm..."won't work"...hard to understand, since you didn't attach the screen shot. And log files aren't something anyone here in this user-to-user community can interpret for you.

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

Download Flash/AIR for Android, where?

When I go to Adobe's download center I don't get an option for Android download.
So from where exactly I can download Flash player and AIR for Android ?
Thanks

Adobe Flash Player and AIR for Android are available directly from the Android Market on supported Android devices. If you are unable to find Adobe Flash Player in the Market, the most likely reason is that your device does not meet the minimum system requirements.
Specifically, Flash Player requires a CPU with support for the ARMv7-A instruction set to achieve the level of performance required for acceptable multimedia playback.
Your device has an ARM11 CPU, which only supports the ARMv6 instruction set.
For future reference, Adobe maintains a list of devices certified to work with Adobe Flash Player and AIR here:
http://www.adobe.com/flashplatform/certified_devices/
You might want to give Skyfire a try. It uses "remote desktop" technology to render Flash animation and video in the cloud, for devices that are incapable of processing Flash content natively:

Adobe AIR for Android - GPU Mode - Bitmap Auto-Smoothing Issue

Hi everyone
I'm having a bit of an issue with the AS3 bitmap object. I'm currently developing an 8-bit style pixel game for AIR for Android.
This game is being developed at a very low resolution and is being scaled up to maintain the charm of an old retro game.
One of the methods I'm using is drawing pixels directly to bitmap objects and scaling the object up to create the old look.
When testing on a mobile device, this works beautifully when you set the rendering method to Direct but when you change
the render method to GPU the visuals go all blurry and anti-aliased (it's as if the bitmap is being smoothed out). The mini map
for example is rendered using the setPixel method and then scaled up 9 times. Looks great on my PC but once I export it to my phone
it looks absolutely awful! This is no good as I want to keep the clean, solid pixel look to maintain the the old 8-bit feel and obviously
I'd like to stick to GPU mode due to it's speed.
Like I said, this only happens once you test on a mobile device in GPU mode - it doesn't do it on my main desktop machine or
in Direct mode. I already have the stage quality set to low and I've tried setting the bitmap's smoothing property to false but
it does nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get around this?

How about first blit your image to a small bitmapData, then draw it on a large bitmapData (9X larger)?
Like,
var small_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH, SMALL_HEIGHT, false);
var large_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH * 9, SMALL_HEIGHT * 9, false);
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(large_bmd, PixelSnapping.NEVER, false);
var blitRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 9, 9);
var i:uint, j:uint, blitColor:uint;
small_bmd.draw(SOURCE_IMAGE);
large_bmd.lock();
for(j = 0; j < SMALL_HEIGHT; j++){
     for(i = 0; i < SMALL_WIDTH; i++){
          blitColor = small_bmd.getPixel(i, j);
          blitRect.x = i * 9;
          blitRect.y = j * 9;
          large_bmd.fillRect(blitRect, blitColor);
large_bmd.unlock();
Not sure if the code works or not, but hopefully this helps.

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

AIR for Android video issue

On Android, in an app that I’ve developed successfully for iOS, I’m seeing this problem:
There are 5 videos built-into the app. On Samsung phones (S3 and S4), running Android 4.4.2, at the first attempt to play a video there’s sound but no picture. After returning to the video menu and attempting again, video and sound play normally. If a video is stopped and another one is started, initially a frame of the previous video is displayed (for a fraction of a second), then play resumes normally with the chosen video.
The sound-but-no-video problem does NOT show up on a Nexus 7 running 4.4.3, although the flash-frame problem does.
I’m publishing with AIR SDK 15 packaging both with and without captive runtime to try to isolate the source of the problem. I’m using <contains video> true </contains video> in the descriptor.
This feels like AIR-for-Android buggishness. Any confirmation out there? Similar problems? Workarounds?
I’ve read somewhere that AIR runtime v.3.3 may solve some video problems on Android, but not sure where to find an archived Android version of AIR that old.

Well, as it sometimes happens with me, I have spoken too soon. The answer that I marked as ‘correct’ the other day (Colin, are you there?), seems to be not quite the right answer. At least, it doesn’t solve the video problem that I’m having with some, but not all, Android devices.
After trying Colin’s suggestion – using if (stage.stageVideos.length != 0) to make sure that a stageVideoAvailabilityEvent hasn’t already fired when I try to play my first StageVideo instance – and getting perfect results in 10 consecutive tries on my Samsung S4 and S3 phones, I figured that was IT.
Next day, same devices and same code, it DIDN’T work! I pulled hair, issued profanities, hammered on the table. It didn’t matter—I still got a ‘mis-fire’ on the first play of a video whenever (almost whenever) I opened the app. After the first play everything was good – which is the exact problem that I started with many days ago. When I played Colin’s Sesame Street ‘Let’s Get Ready’ app again – the same first-play-of-video problem shows up there too.
This problem does not show up on Nexus 7 and the Samsung Galaxy 5 Tab. It is a royal p.i.t.a. on Samsung phones, where I need my app to work.
I created a bare-bones app to reproduce the problem, code below. Just a single class to play a single video with no controls. A few parameters (path to the video, and viewport stuff) are passed in from the document Class. I run it 10 times on my S4. It fails 7 times and plays well 3 times. The 'initialize2()' function never fires, proving that the stageVideos array already exists by the the time the 'initialize1()' function is called.
I'm pretty sure that this is not a coding problem (because it works well on some Androids and in iOS), but WHAT is it??

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.

Sound delay with air for android

Hi,
I am building a game with air for android, all work just perfect but I have just little problem with the sfx.
When I play sound I have 500 millisecond delay.
I tried to use wav format instead of mp3 and its help a bit but still there is a big delay.
Any ideas?
Thanks

First, never use the nativePath property of File.applicationDirectory (as the example does). This isn't supported on Android. You get an empty string. While you could usually bypass the write-restrictions on te application directory using this technique on the desktop, it definitely does not work on Android. Always use URLs rether than native paths to refer to application files.
What you should do is create the database in the applicationStorage directory. You could do this with SQL, or by coping a "template" database file that you packaged with the application from the application directory o the application storage directory (using the URL not the native path, of course.)

I was able to correctly identify DroidX and Motorola Xoom family edition in my test, with no ane, pretty cool!

Okay. I've found an answer:
yes, you can and have to add these icons via the descriptor file, since flash wont let you. But before you do that, go into the "Air publish" settings in flash. Here, right on page 1, there is the "include files" section. Add your icon pngs there. Hit OK and exit these settings. Now open the descriptor with an editor outside of flash and write in the files like I posted above. Close. Save. Make it write protected. No go to flash and publish.

AudioPlaybackMode.Voice on Air for Android

Im developing an Air for Android App using Air 17 that is basically a VOIP phone. Im trying to get the Audio to come through the earpiece using the following code: SoundMixer.audioPlaybackMode = AudioPlaybackMode.VOICE; SoundMixer.useSpeakerphoneForVoice = false;
It seems to work until I start talking into the built in Mic from my android device, the audio just stops functioning all together. I tested the AudioPlaybackMode.Voice on another simple app I made where it just plays a sound file and it works perfectly.
Can anyone provide me with some insight of why this is happening or give me any advice on how to debug this issue? Thanks

Make sure that were your tutorial code uses startDrag() /stopDrag()
that you use: startTouchDrag()/stopTouchDrag()
