Oracle APEX versus Adobe Flex on AIR

Hi
I need advantages and disadvantages Oracle APEX versus Adobe Flex on AIR. I don't know Adobe and need your help. (we fight about our potential customer).
Project:
40 users insert own actvities into database. Supervisor analyse this info (reports, charts). Users connect to app via mobile phone EDGE using laptop.
Regards

Hello again,
From the end-user perspective, FLEX applicatoins are more graphic in nature, in that they are truly graphic. APEX (at least through 3.2) generates a standard HTML type of web page. You can do graphics type of code, but Flex creates applications that will only run with Adobe tools. Flex generates an HTML page, but it calls a .swf file and plays that.
Unless it is critical that you have that fully graphic interface (a .swf file type of image that plays), standard HTML is much better. You can still generate graphs, charts and such; incorporate images in your page and all the things that standard web pages have.
With APEX, your users will see a standard HTML web-page type of interface, which most users today know how to use and expect.
Thanks,
Don.

  • Adobe Flex Mobile + AIR - Custom iOS Build Setting

    I am building some Adobe Flex Mobile application using Flex 4.6.0 + AIR 3.5 only for iOS
    This app involves some iOS Native Extension created also by me.
    The thing is that this ANE uses some third party framework (GD.framework from Good Dynamics Technology). That framework requires GD FIPS linker to be used, and for that, i need to set some custom build settings in a .xcconfig file, with this content:
    FIPS_PACKAGE=$(CURRENT_ARCH).sdk LDPLUSPLUS=/Good Technology/Good.platform/FIPS_module/$FIPS_PACKAGE/bin/gd_fipsld LD=/Good Technology/Good.platform/FIPS_module/$FIPS_PACKAGE/bin/gd_fipsld
    The ANE compiles OK, but then, I add the ANE to the app, I compile the app, but when I launch the app, it crashes because the FIPS linker was not properly got set on my Flex Mobile project.
    So, my question is:
    Is there a way to set the above configuration on my project like somebody would do in a Xcode project?
    Regards!

    I see your key as a reserved key for iOS. I haven't tested it myself but here's the keys you cannot change. Sure enough, MinimumOSVersion is reserved.

  • Adobe Flex

    Hi,
    To what extent WebCenter will be using Adobe Flex.? Does Flex Portlets are included in this or do we a separate framework for developing.
    Thanks in Advance.

    You can use Adobe Flex to build your portlets and then consume them in Oracle WebCenter as well as in Oracle Portal.
    Adobe Flex, as a visualization technology, is not a requirement. It's rather an add-on, that can be used to build your portlets.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to Integrate Oracle XE [ APEX ] & Adobe Flex

    How to Integrate Oracle XE [ APEX ] & Adobe Flex
    Just recently, I upload a quick screencast where shows how to integrate Ruby on Rails applications and Adobe Flex using http services <br>
    <param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/IdM_rgDaVM0&rel=1”></param><param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”></param>
    This should be possible with Oracle APEX. I wonder if somebody have some ideas of a quick and easy export to generate the XML accessors for the Oracle XE instead of a htp.p PL/SQL Procedure ???
    The frontend with Flex will be the same, I just like to be able to automatically generate the XML version of the results, perhaps will be necesary some PL/SQL... applied to the end result of the query.
    Best Regards Dino.

    If it's raw XML output from APEX, how about a RSS feed as an example?

  • Adobe AIR Needed on Android / iOS to Run Adobe Flex Apps

    Hi all,
    I want to confirm if the user has to install Adobe AIR before launching Adobe Flex apps on Android and iOS Devices. Is there any way that we could embedd Adobe AIR setup in the app file so that the user dont have to hastle in installing Adobe AIR.
    Taimur

    It gives you only three options:
    Signed packages for each target platform.
    Signed AIR package for installation on desktop.
    Intermediate AIRI package that must be signed later.
    For mobile apps, we need to select the first option to get the .apk and .ipa file as the second option would generate .air file. None of the options offer to package AIR runtime. Only the first option gives you the option on NEXT window to include the download link of AIR Runtime.
    If i am wrong, kindly point me to that specific checkbox.
    OR do i have to put Runtime.apk in the assets folder of my source code so that it gets packaged?

  • Directions towards Adobe Flex/ AIR

    Hi all,
    I am an ABAP developer for 7 odd years and dabbled a bit in ABAP web dynpro, however have not worked on Java or .Net languages. I am keen to work on Adobe Flex and using it as a UI for SAP applications.
    Needed advise on where I can start to study up on Adobe Flex considering my back ground.
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    Hi,
    When you say Air setting do you mean creating an Air App ?
    If so when you select new flex project from the menu you have a choice to have an AIR app or a Flex app.
    You can also change an existing Flex app to an AIR app but not the other way around. This is done by right clicking on the project in the package explorer panel and selecting change "project type".

  • Adobe Flex/AIR Photo Booth Software

    Hi,
    I hope everyone is doing well.
    Is it possible to build a Photo Booth software like
    http://www.photoboof.com/
    http://sparkbooth.com/features/
    etc. using Adobe Flex/AIR ?
    I know that we can build desktop applications using Flex/AIR. But I have a very little experience in building desktop applications. Most of the times I had worked on web applications. The Photo Booth software demands to detect digital camera connected to computer/Laptop and then work on the basis of what camera captures. It is like creating a web application that works with media server and
    use computer/laptop webcam. Please guide me how can I start or plan for this software.
    Regards
    Varun

    From What I've found.. it seems 3ivx or Perian could cause this problem. A friend had this issue and deleted 3ivx and it fixed his crashes. Alternatively, some folks are reporting that turning off 32-bit mode (Get Info) for Photobooth has also fixed, although this was already turned off in my friend's case. Or if you have iGlasses installed.

    Thanks, Flex harUI, for the direction in regards to isolating build changes. That aside (still working on it), can you offer any direction in regards to my original question on SDK and AIR compatibility? I'm specifically looking for a version compatibility mapping or anything that definitively states, "Flex SDK x.y.z works with the following versions of AIR". This information is crucial for us in order to more specifically plan our own roadmap built upon these two frameworks as we consider both existing installations of our software and future distributions.

  • How do I integrate Adobe Flex into Oracles Webcenter Interaction portal

    We currently use Oracle Webcenter Interaction portal 10gr3 (ALUI Portal)... Does anyone know how or can provide documentation on how to integrate adobe flex into this portal.. Our portal is on windows but it is the java installation of the portal. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
    thanks
    Laura

    While I'd still like others to chime in with anything they may know (or think), I've gleaned the following:
    1)
    "Oracle will support ALUI for the next 9 years and no customer will be forced to migrate off of ALUI. The long term direction is to migrate key features of ALUI into Web Center. "
    2)
    "Web Center will be the strategic portal offering. Customers looking to move to Web Center may get credit for their ALUI cost.
    We are currently selling Web Center and ALUI as one single suite. So customers buying the suite don’t have to choose between one or the other and get both automatically.
    If you are happy with the functionality in ALUI then it would make sense to stick with it till we have more details on migration path, etc."
    4)
    Publisher : the next release should come out (eventually). The long term direction is Oracle’s UCM (Stellent) product.

  • Oracle Java and Adobe

    I'm a newbie here, so please take this with a grain of salt. I have watched with great interest as Sun acquired MySQL and then as Oracle acquired Sun. While doing so, I have been researching various rich internet application frameworks for work and a side business. I have been very impressed with Adobe's RIA offerings and with Microsoft's latest rollout of Silverlight. Although I haven't been as impressed with the JavaFX framework, clearly there are some advantages to building RIA's with Java. I am at a cross-roads in terms of a decision as to where to invest most of my learning efforts. Should I dive into Adobe Flex (Flash), Microsoft Expression (which I can obtain free, as a student), or JavaFX? OK, so here is where I possibly expose the extent of my naiveté. I find myself having a kind of pipedream -- namely, that Oracle would make one additional major acquisition -- Adobe Systems Incorporated. In my pipedream, I imagine that the Adobe division of Oracle makes a business decision to transition ActionScript to Java (of course, with no issues concerning software licensing), to incorporate any useful concepts from JavaFX into the next release of their RIA-related software, and to become the UI framework for Oracle applications. Of course, in my pipedream, Oracle-Adobe also make some seemingly bad business decisions, such as making the standard version of Adobe Acrobat free (to save trees in the world); however, even in spite of such humanitarian sacrifices of the bottom-line, in my hypothetical world at least, I feel quite confident (even excited) about my intellectual investment in the new company. Is this pipedream really as ridiculous as it seems? Any advice in the context of reality?

    One of our developers here is using Ajax with APEX. Not quite sure how he's done it as he's the APEX expert here, not me. I know he looked into it when there was a need for nested drop down lists within the application he was developing.Simple AJAX calls are not difficult to support - the problem using a proper AJAX framework where the callbacks (AJAX calls to your PL/SQL code) does not support the quirky APEX URL format. Also, many calls will have variable number of parameters. This means having to use the flexible 2 parameter call architecture - and as soon as you do this, the call can no longer be handled by the runtime system of APEX that receives and processes URLs.
    In order to have your AJAX callbacks run inside the APEX run-time system, you need to define "+on demand+" APEX process wrappers for them.. and this is one the major problems I have with trying to integrate proper AJAX frameworks with APEX. Either the framework needs to be modded or APEX... And these frameworks work as is with Java, PHP, Python, etc. - which begs the question why muck with the framework when it works for most languages? The shortcoming IMO is definitely with APEX.That seems fairy nuff. ;)

  • Integrating Google Maps in Oracle Apex and 404 Not found error page

    Currently using APEX version 3.2.0.00.27 installed in OracleXE version 10.2.0.1.0. Have been attempting to recreate some examples of Google Maps within APEX. Found a nice set of examples here that build up to what I'm looking to ultimately do by incorporating google maps into APEX:
    http://blog.whitehorses.nl/2009/10/04/integrating-google-maps-in-oracle-apex/
    Unfortunatly, I'm getting the "404 Not Found, Not found, The requested URL /apex/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server" page when I try to recreate the "Map with Search" example. I'd like to see if this really works using the html input and button tags in the body/region source versus creating APEX items to pass the address values to the javascript in the html header of the apex page. I'm thinking it's just an html thing within APEX that you have to do it a certain way, but I haven't managed to hit that magic combination. have gone to the google maps api v2 and looked at the html they use (it's what these examples with apex are based on) and tried that just to see. Same 404 result.
    I've seen suggestions at this forum and elsewhere that the 404 error is due to a bug. have been to metalink, and really haven't seen anything that spells out what the bug is and how to patch it or work around it. May be I just haven't found the right note/doc yet. have seen suggestions to change something associated with the Anonymous account that APEX uses. Have turned on authentication in the application to use an APEX user account with a logon page to the application. Still get the 404. Although, I have not adjusted anything elsewhere, like a DADS config file, because the apex/xe configuration is using the plsql gateway. Not sure of any procedure for changing settings on anonymous account when using plsql gateway.
    Open to suggestions. APEX 3.2 is customer version, so going to 4 may not be an option yet. XE, on the other hand, can certainly be swapped for an 11g version standard or enterprise edition if need be. I don't think this is a db version problem though. I think it's more on the APEX side of things.
    Anyway, any help or suggestions are appreciated.
    thanks
