Kindle Fire HD support

I picked up a Kindle Fire HD today and found that one of my apps is not working on the device
I have found no documentation that indicates that there are any problems with older apps and the Kindle Fire HD, and Gold Level support has provided no help.
For reference the app is V20 built through a professional license.
Thanks

Neil,
A rebuild fixed the issue, but I would like to say that the DPS team needs to educate both developers and the Gold level tech support that a rebuild is needed on older apps for Kindle Fire HD support. I tell my clients that I can provide a service based on what Amazon and your company tell me. Now my client is upset, and frankly, so am I, that Adobe was unable or, it seems, unwilling to provide the support to make sure DPS app are compatible with new devices.
When I first identified the issue, I immediately searched for documentation and when I found none, I called the Gold level support. Not only did the support lie to me in saying that the app was downloading on their devices fine when it clearly was unable to, I was explicitly told there was no need to submit a new build. This is the support that my client and I are paying a premium for every year. I would expect that they would be honest and work in the DPS user's interests, yet they did not.

  • SDK component Runtime.apk is out of date export captive build for Kindle Fire

    Hello
    Kindle fire only supports AIR 2.7 and I'm trying to export a build release in Flash Builder 4.7 with the AIR runtime included (captive build). Whenever I build I get the following error:
    SDK component at air/android/device/Runtime.apk is out of date
    I tried running the updater and it said I'm up to date. I did download the SDK and put it in my home folder but I can't seem to change the SDK reference in the preferences.
    (I had another java out of memory error including my ANE file but I turned it off just to get a build out. Not the focus of this discussion)
    It would be nice if flash builder just let me reference my freshly downloaded SDK but instead I have to sift through their document structure guessing where I should be updating the Runtime.apk that SHOULD be up to date already.
    I have had to go in to the package itself and modify the ini files and over-write the adb files from the fresh download of the SDK before.
    I'm guessing there is a way to update the Runtime.apk but i have so many bin executables spread all of my computer it's hard to tell what flash builder wants!!!
    There is always one problem after another developing with Flash Builder ... Please help.

    Just be sure you've downloaded the correct AIR 3.6 SDK specific to Flash Builder! On this page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html in small print is this note:
    Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler. Mac Windows.
    Be sure to install the appropriate sdk if you're using Flex in your mobile project. Otherwise the main download will work with ActionScript only projects in Flash Builder 4.7
    Can you confirm you installed the correct SDK? Also with ANEs, it's important to identify what version of AIR the ANE supports.
    If you still run into trouble with your current configuration, try building a new mobile project and export release build with captive runtime and see if it compiles correctly. If it does, then it's going to be a problem with your current project, and I'd look at how the ANE is packaged. See if there's documentation on how to include the ANE, etc. If you still can't compile a blank mobile project, then your AIR installation is incorrect.

  • Kindle Fire 8.9

    Is there any way to get a 1024 x 768 folio file look good on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 or do I have to do a completely different resolution for it to look good? Also, is there any time period in which an Android and/or Kindle Fire will support PDF-based FOLIOs and not JPG?

    A 1024x768 folio will be letterboxed on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. You can make it look better by creating a larger rendition. See this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2012/10/creating-dps-folios-for-android-devices.html
    Supporting PDF on Android devices (and in the desktop viewer) is a high priority for the DPS team.

  • Adobe Flash player doesn't support  the new android type devices such as my new Kindle Fire but i understand they are going to have an app out for these devices this year. Any idea on when that will be?

    I understand Adobe Flash player will have out an app to download to the newer android devices such as Kindles that they stopped supporting a couple of years ago soon. Any idea when this will be? Thanks.

    Hello,
    We don't have any plans for a new version of Flash Player for Android.  That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using third party browsers.

  • Amazon Kindle Fire Support?

    Are the touch apps supported on the Amazon Kindle Fire?

    Hi David,
    Not at this time. The Adobe Touch Apps require a compatible Android tablet running Honeycomb 3.1 or higher, and a minimum screen resolution of 1280 X 800. More info in the Touch Apps FAQ. I believe the Kindle Fire has a screen resolution of 1024 x 600, and runs a modified version of Gingerbread.
    Thanks for posting!

  • Why does Adobe not support tablets or Kindle Fire

    Why does Adobe not support tablets or Kindle fire?

    You have it backwards.
    Tablets (Kindle, Galaxy, iPad) don't support Flash.
    Chronologically:
    2008 (March) - Apple® releases the first iPhone, using iOS®. Steve Jobs is insistent and adamant that iOS® is NOT compatible with Flash® and NEVER WILL BE. Jobs' reasoning is that playing Flash® content is processor consumptive and it drains batteries, thus shortening the life of them in mobile devices. In six years, that hasn't changed. Not for the iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch™. It never will change and there never will be a Flash Player® for iOS®.
    2008 (September) - Google® introduces Android™ to compete with iOS®, for people who don't want to pay what Apple® is asking for an iPhone®. Android®, unlike its Apple® counterpart IS compatible with Flash®.
    2012 (June) - Android™ (Google®) announces the end of support for Flash® with Android™ 4.3. Going forward NO Android™ devices will be compatible with Flash®, but older versions on older devices can still be loaded with "legacy" builds still available from Adobe®. Android™ (Google®) cites the same reason Apple® did for the decision to end support of Flash®. Adobe® continues to release security patches to Flash Player® for Android™ until September 2013, announcing the "end of life" for Android™ Flash® September 10.

  • Why is it that Kindle fire supports flash in the USA and not UK?

    Why is it that Kindle fire supports flash in the USA and not UK? This is ridiculous and annoying

    In silk the US version gives you the opportunity to enable or disable flash, it doesn't exist in the UK one. Speaking to amazon.com they can't understand why it's not there but speaking to amazon.co.uk they say kindle doesn't support flash. As a result my daughter can't view any flash websites, specifically the homework website we were intending her to be able to use on her new kindle. Total waste of money.

  • Live account not supported by Kindle Fire HDX?

    I just signed up for a new account, which also involved creating a new Microsoft Live Account, so I could use Skype on my new Kindle Fire HDX. My login works fine on the website, doesn't work at all on my Kindle Fire HDX 7".

    Mine won't work either going through Microsoft Live.  It'll ring twice and then fail.  Every time.

    Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much.  An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

  • How can I print from my Kindle Fire HD?

    How can I print from my Kindle Fire HD?  I have an e-printer (HP Photosmart 7510 C3lla e-All-In- Onew series).  I can print from my Apple I-Pad but cannot determine if/how I can print from the Kindle Fire HD.

    Android devices do not support built in printing liek airprint on your apple device, so you will have to use the HP Eprint Home and Biz app in order to print from that device. It is available for free in the Amazon Market.

  • Why can't I install the flash player on my Kindle Fire???

    I have tried several times to install the flash player on my Kindle Fire but it keeps telling me there is an issue opening the download. How am I able to download it yet am unable to install it. It makes no sense to me why it would be able to download yet not be able to open the installation. Is this a problem that is being fixed? I've tried to "troubleshoot" this issue myself but there is little information on it. If the Kindle Fire is unable to install the Adobe Flash player then there needs to be some changes made either on your companies part or Amazons. There are apps offered on the Kindles that need this flash player in order to operate. If you could back to me with an answer as soon as possible I would greatly aprreciate it. Thank you.

    Hi,
    Although we continue to provide security and patch releases for Android devices which originally shipped with Adobe Flash Player, new feature development for the Android browser has drawn to a close as we shift our focus to Adobe AIR for mobile applications. For more details on the rationale for our decision I refer you to the following article.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html
    The following article describes how to manually install the Adobe Flash Player manually on your Android device.

    Another alternative is to install the SkyFire browser, which appears to support Flash Video.

  • Video Playback Android (Kindle Fire)

    I have been trying for several days to get video playback working on my Kindle Fire.  This is my first attempt at playing video on Android at all.
    Upon buildling my .apk, my video file resides at assets/cinematics/intro.mp4.  I would like to play this video full screen.  What I would really like is a step by step how to guide of playing a video in this manner on Android.
    Since Kindle Fire does not support StageVideo, I am trying to use flash.media.Video.  The code for playing these videos seem pretty standard.  However, I get absolutely no video playing at all. 
    Here is some version of my code although I have tried many variations:
    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    nc.connect(null);
    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
    var client:Object = new Object();
    client.onMetaData = function(metadata:Object):void {
    trace(metadata.duration);
    ns.client = client;
    var v:Video = new Video();
    v.attachNetStream(ns);
    stage.addChild(v);
    var videoPath:String = "assets/cinematics/intro.mp4";
    var videoFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(videoPath);
    ns.play(videoFile.url);
    I am not 100% sure the url I am passing to ns.play() is correct.  I have tried using also "file://" + vidoeFile.nativePath  but with no luck. 
    I have read somewhere that setting "Use Network Service" to false could resolve this issue, but that did not work either.
    I have tried copying the file to the File.applicationStorageDirectory and playing the video from there, but that did not seem to work either.
    I am also not real sure how to debug this issue.  What events should I be looking for?  How can I get some sort of error message telling me what may be wrong?
    Thanks for you help!

    It seems that you may be clicking the "skype" symbol on the tablet, which will take you to the skype homepage.
    Rather than doing that, go to the word "Apps" and touch that. You'll be taken to an app page where you can touch the "skype" app that is associated with your personal account.
