Native Application Toolkit replacement in CC 9.1

Hi All
I hope this is in the right forum.
I have dialogs written with Extension builder 2.1, targeting CS5 to CC.
I just update CC to 9.1 and the NativeApplicationToolkit does not work anymore.
I have found the replacement for the DispatchEvent method with ICSXSPlugPlugEventHandler, but I am also using the functions ‘PlugPlugErrorCode LoadExtension(const char* inExtensionID)’ and ‘PlugPlugErrorCode UnloadExtension(const char* inExtensionID)’.
So My Question is What are the replacement for these two calls(LoadExtension and UnloadExtension) in the InDesign CC SDK?
Thanks for the help

Hi G,
the ExtensionBuilder/Flex technology "Suite SDK" is unrelated to the InDesign SDK which is about C++ plugins.
For details please refer to the right sidebar "About this Forum".
You will find a better audience either in the InDesign scripting or the Creative Suite SDK forum.

Cannot install Native Application silently

I have an existing Native Application installed that I'm trying to update silently, i.e. without being prompted if I want to replace the application. In command prompt on Windows 7 x64 I have tried the following:
C:\NativeAppUpdate.exe -silent
The command fails with the following message:
failed due to bad configuration
At this point I Googled the error and came across a post on this forum of something experiencing a similar issue. Adobe suggested using the ARH tool to get a better understanding of what the error was. So I tried the ARH tool as follows:
arh -installAppSilent NativeAppUpdate.exe
Unfortunately that failed too with the following message:
Failed (consult log)
So I looked at the log and found the following entries:
[2012-07-02:17:04:35] Application Installer begin with version 3.1.0.4880 on Windows 7 x86
[2012-07-02:17:04:35] Commandline is: -silent NativeApp_1_0_1.exe

[2012-07-02:17:04:35] Application Installer end with exit code 7
It says it's not an AIR file, which is correct. However if I run the update file without the silent argument, it asks me if I want to replace the application and installs fine. So why does it fail when the silent argument is used and is there any other way around this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just tried again now but it didn't work.
With AIR Runtime 3.1, here is what I did:
1) Create a Flex Project (Desktop Application with Flex SDK 4.6.0)
2) Export Native Installer package, called NativeAppTest_1.0.0.exe
3) Edit the application xml file and change <versionNumber> value "1.0.0" to "1.0.1"
4) Export Native Installer package, called NativeAppTest_1.0.1.exe
5) Copy both installers to C:\
5) Install C:\NativeAppTest_1.0.0.exe
6) From command prompt, run "C:\NativeAppTest_1.0.1.exe -silent"
The following is returned:
C:\>NativeAppTest_1.0.1.exe -silent
C:\>failed due to bad configuration
With AIR Runtime 3.3 installed, the same thing happens. The log file says:

Could this be the problem? If not, what else could I try?

How to view *.eml files in Lotus Notes as native application?

Using Desktop Integration for Lotus Notes, and using Contribution Folders via Notes:
I can drop-and-drag an e-mail from lotus notes inbox to the contribution folder (in Notes) ok. I can view the *.eml file in Contribution Folder (Notes and Explorer), when I select "View" from the Contribution Folder it first attempted to open the file in outlook, I then changed the "view with" attribute,to Notes. Notes attempts to open the file and throws an error message: Invalid Directory Name or device not ready.
Has anyone come across this before? If so, how did you ensure application consistency that e-mails declared as "documents" are accessed again via the native application (Lotus Notes not Outlook)?
Many thanks,
A.

Not entirely. At least we came to the conclusion it doesn't make (much) sense to block the save option of PDFs if you want to allow printing them
Anyway; there is of course another possibilty: you could always write your own java bean PDF reader; there are plenty of java PDF libraries available:
Open Source PDF Libraries in Java
The easiest way would be to choose one which can open a PDF from a URL and render it; I would retrieve the image via mod_plsql using WPG_DOCLOAD and simply use the PDF library to render the PDF. No tempfiles anyway, and if you don't implement it there is also no save button.
cheers

How to open file in their native application

How to open file in their native application form web browser?
if associated .txt file should open in editplus then from web browser if I try to open .txt file it should open in editplus rather then open in notepad(default), If on other computer if I associate .txt file should open in word, it should open in word. I am using Tomcat Web Server.

that's nothing you could influence from a servlet or jsp.
all you could do is specifying the content type of your response.
Next you might hope that the client requesting your content uses a browser that relates the given content type to a special application (e.g. "text/plain" -> editplus or notepad or kedit or word or ...)

Opening a file in its native application from Flex.

Is it possible to open a file on whatever native application the user runs it as? Or even, at that, to simply open the directory it's in, in an explorer window?
We have a search application and the frontend is in Flex, and I'm trying to find a way to do this, such that when a use double clicks on a result (in a datagrid - but that's trivial), it opens the file or at least the location of the file on the OS.
Any system call where I can say system("explorer.exe " + filepath); or something?
Any help would be appreciated.

Dear BillBlalock ,
thank you for answer!! You are very kind and helpful!! I would like to inform everybody that I have finally find another way of soilving my problem and I announce it to the forum in case somebody else encounters the same problem. Well, I soved the nproblem by using the following code:
    excelButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
         String filePath = "\""+saveFileName.toString()+"\"";
         System.out.println(""+filePath);
         try
           String cmd="explorer "+filePath;
           Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
         }catch(IOException ec){}
     });I hope it can be useful to somebody!! By this code, I can make a button (in my case the excelButton) to open any file in its default application. Keep up the great work you are doing guys!!

Retrieving documents using native applications

Dear
While retrieving content from content server, the content is usually launched as a web page or pdf files -regardless of the original native file-
Can ECM automatically launch the native application to enable viewing of any retrieved document? If the native application is not available on the workstation, the ECM then should ask the user to choose another application that could open the retrieved document.
Please advise

1. If the web viewable file is configured to be conversion to pdf using IBR then when the user clicks the web viewable link it will open a pdf.
2. If the user clicks on the native file the browser will ask open or save and if they select open it should spawn the OS to use the application mapped to the file format (has nothing to do with UCM at that point)
Things like the Search Results page are set up by default to use the WebViewable link mentioned in 1 above but can be changed to Native file if desired. Also IBR can be skipped and Native only file is what is passed through to the web location or only a single file can be saved if the UCM server is set up that way instead of the same Doc file in both Vault and Weblayout.
Does that answer your question?

Air Updater with Native applications

I searched the forum for Application updater/ options available for updating our Air application when we use the air native applications.
I know Air ApplicationUpdaterUI does not support native application updates (Air 2.0).
I also observed that all discussions with respect to the Updaters point to the following discussion.
http://blogs.adobe.com/simplicity/2010/01/application_update_security_an.html
I also found the following articles -
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=updating_apps_1.html
Has anyone tackled this problem?
Can someome please explain a little more in details the steps needed in order to achieve the updaer functionality for native apps).
thanks

It was my mistake in configuration of extension.xml file. Instead of mentioning Extesion Initialization funtion i was using context initialization funtions there. It started working after correcting this problem.
Thanks for all the help.

Will there be future support from Adobe AIR for Desktop native Applications

We have a desktop native application developed using Flex SDK 4.1 and running on Adobe AIR. Now as Adobe has donated Flex SDk to Apache we are concerned about the future of this application. If we rescale our application with new versions of Flex SDk released by Apache, in future will the new versions of Adobe AIR support it? As I have read in Adobe Forums that Adobe is more concentrated on providing HTML5 support in Adobe AIR, and not working for Flex support anymore, can we face any problems going forward with this combination?

Updating Native Applications

I know that the update framework is not supposed to work with native applications, but is it possible to update a native Adobe AIR application using a .air file?
This is based on the assumption that .air files are basically archive files and that the update framework just updates the application files with those in the .air file. If this is true then it seems that it would be possible to update an AIR application that was installed as a native application with a .air file.
The alternative I can see is rolling my own framework, which is actually not too complicated except security restrictions prevent me from overwriting files in air.File.applicationDirectory.

The Updater API does not function in the extended desktop profile (i.e. native installers), nor does it accept native installer packages as arguments.

You'll need XCode and the iPhone SDK to develop for the iPhone. These only run on Mac OS X, which is only officially supported on Mac hardware. I don't know of any solution to run XCode under any other OS.

Does Adobe Application Manager replace Adobe Download Manager?

Does Adobe Application Manager replace Adobe Download Manager?

That's not really a question. The application manager is only relevant for current CS6 and CC products, anyway, while ADM was/ is used on legacy products.

Launching safari on iPhone from native application without new page

Hii..
I have to synchronize my native application and web application for iPhone.
And somewhere in between I wish to switch in between safari and my native application.
So at first from browsing through my web application the user comes to a link where my native application (already installed by user) is launched... From this native application I wish to send control to same web page in safari where user left off... But when I try to launch the url in my native application safari opens up new page every time. I wish that I just give a call to safari like tel://7077063437 so just safari is launched showing previously opened page of web application where user left off...

HI thanks for reply..
I am going to use UIWebView... But at first if the application is not installed on user's phone then I want him to browse through my web application which shown some media contents...

Can you please give me more suggestion on this...
