OWB Runtime and JServer

The documentation for OWB says that JServer must be installed. Does anyone know why. I can't see that any java packages were loaded.
Lewis

I put out the same "question" a while ago but haven't seen any feedback from Oracle or others in the community. I don't think you can, but I'd LOVE to be proven wrong! :)

It appears to only work for cursors other than SELECT; not very useful, eh?
Anyone?

Installing OWB runtime and targets without assistant?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to install all the repositories (Design repo, runtime repo) and the target schemas with a script, rather than using the assistants.
We would like to automate the total installation of our DW solution as much as possible. Therefore, we are trying to also install the design repository, the runtime repository and the five targets using a script. No luck till now... The import of mdl and deploying of objects, mappings and flows using OMB scripting works fine... ;)
Any suggestions?
Koen

What you need, is runtime on each instance that contains target locations.
For the runtime environment, you need to download and install the server-side (on the HP-UX box) software.
To avoid this, you might be able to use synonyms and db-links on your WIN XP box.

Apache and Jserv issues - AppsLogin and AppsLocalLogin not working

Hi,
I am trying to understand the Apache and Jserv issues
Home page - http://11i-tst-02.cisco.com:38901 - working fine
This confirms that Apache core module is working fine. Does this confirm about the pls module also ?

Is it related to SSO ? Because error mentions about SSOManager
But why does AppsLocalLogin need to go thru SSO ?
Doesn it mean Jserv issues ? I am able to see same message logged in jvm logs ?
Restarting Apache doesnt help

So, my question is why AppsLogin and AppsLocalLogin are not working - if servlets / AOL / FND / OAM links are working
Is there issue with Jserv ?
Can someone please explain the significance of the above tests
And which tests need to pass for AppsLogin and AppsLocalLogin to work
Thanks

Since all the tests work fine as you stated above, I suggest you do the following:
- Rerun Autoconfig on all tiers
- rm -rf $OA_HTML/_pages
- Bounce Apache

To_number conversion error in OWB runtime

I have a mapping in OWB 10.1.0.5 that does something like that :
select t1.a_field,to_number(t2.a_stringField)
from a_table t1
an_other_table@source_schemas@source_database t2
where (....)
the t2.a_stringField may contain:
'1256'
'5'
'12'
'5,8'
when I run my mapping from SQL_PLUS
begin
my_mapping.main();
end;
it works well,
but when I run my mapping with OWB, my mapping terminates with errors on the line containing a decimal value (the line with coma decimal separator).
I deployed my mapping over three similar database (developpement,test,production) and the problem appends for just one of them !
any idea ?
these are my database parameter :
NLS_TERRITORY     AMERICA
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS '.,'
the paramters for the current user (target schemas):
NLS_TERRITORY     FRANCE
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS ',.'
my 'source_database' parameters :
NLS_TERRITORY     AMERICA
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS '.,'
and the parameters for the user 'source_schemas' :
NLS_TERRITORY     FRANCE
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS ',.'

Hi Jean,
I think you need to change NLS_LANG to the same value as on your other two servers (and don't forget to restart OWB runtime).
Or you can specify nls parameter in TO_NUMBER function:
TO_NUMBER('9,5','999D99', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '', ''')

Problems with the OWB Runtime Audit Browser

I executed some mappings in my project
I go to the Client Browser Version of the OWB Runtime Audit Browser (before I Started OWB OC4J Instance).
I specified the Runtime Repository connection information and click in View
Deployment Report or View Execution Report, but, when I access to the Runtime Repository I dont see any data in the web page.
I probed with differents filters but I didnt see data!!!
What is the problem?

Hi Mark,
Yes, I am sorry, I wanted to say 'I do not see any data', but when I connect (using the access user credentials and the QA User role or any other role), and click 'view execution report' I do not see any data!!!! I dont have any data in the table (Only the name of the repository), I drill down to the details of the execution but I do not see any data!!!
In the Filter Options section are the mappings in a combobox (Execution Filter) but I do not see any data about its!!!
Besides, for example If I execute the query in SQL PLUS: select * from ALL_RT_AUDIT_MAP_RUN_ERRORS.
It has 581 rows
What happens?
Why I dont see any data?
Thanks!

OWB Runtime Audit Browser has no respond

Hi All,
After I started the "Start OWB OC4J Instance" and at the console, it shown:
Oracle9iAS(9.0.2.0.0) Containers for J2EE initialized.
Then I start the "OWB Runtime Audit Browser", and saw the Warehouse builder browser , Runtime Repository Report Web page prompt up. It then don't show any respond, whatever I input to the login information and click view report buttons. Does anything that I must set in order to make it work? and how could I turn the verbose of OC4J Apps on, to view more debug message?
background information : I already could run mapping and process flow at my enviornment.
Thx for your kindly help.
Rds,
CH

Provide the following information in the Design Client login page:
HTTP Server Host PORT (default 7778, use 80 for older version of Oracle HTTP)
DAD (Name of the OWB Repository you want to browse. The repository should be set up properly. The web page will then be redirected accordingly. You will need to provide the OWB Repository name and password (this is NOT your OWB login user name and password).

OWB Runtime Audit Browser

Hi,
I am not not able to open the Runtime Audit Browser.
Before doing the above steps ,i configured the Internet Explorer Browser as per the installation Configuration Guide documentation.I did the following settings.
I. To add "localhost" to your Internet Explorer proxy server bypass list:
     1. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
     2. In the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
     3. Check the Bypass proxy server for local addresses option.
     4. Click OK.
II. Configure the Cache Management in Your Web Browser
We must set the cache management on your Web browser for any client you use to
access the Design and Runtime Audit Browsers.
To configure the cache management in Internet Explorer:
1. From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
2. In the General tab, in the Temporary Internet files section, click Settings.
3. For the Check for newer versions of stored pages option, select Every visit to
the page.
4. Click OK.
3. Configured Warehouse Builder with a Net Service Name
I did start the Runtime OC4Z instance before opening the Runtime Audit Browser.It is opening the empty page.
I am getting the following error in OC4Z instance:
Error starting the HTTP-server:network subsystem failed:JVM_Bind.
Thanks for your help.
Vinay

If you are running everything locally, you should have to start the OC4J instance from the OWB menu and run the RAB from the same menu. In the RAB login page you should enter the runtime repository user name and password, the machine name where you are running the DB, the DB port number and the db instance name. It should work without problems.
What version are you using and what is your configuration (do you run everything on your PC?).

Igor

(sorry, some of the log is in Finnish but i dont know how translate it)
Everytime time the runtime repository installing halts when about 60 percent is done.
So if anybody could assist me, i would be forever grateful...
Thanks for advance....

This is a bug 3043523, affecting non-English repository installs. It's documented and fixed in 9.2.0.4 patchset. For a customer I would say patch to 9.2.0.4 before attempting to create the runtime repository. But I figured you don't have access to the patches, since they are distributed through Oracle Support's site metalink.oracle.com, where only Oracle customers can login to. So would it be an option for you to install the English language repository?

Install OWB Runtime user on other DB than runtime repository

hello all
Is it possible to install a runtime user on a different database than on which the owb runtime repository is installed? The OWB version we currently use is the 9.2.0.2 version so no Paris feature replies please.
I think so but my DBA which doesn't know and doesn't give me the rights to do so on test is not convinced he can do so. Please point me out to a doc that clearly states we should be able to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Koen

Hi
Yes, just install another runtime repository on the new database. Then use that repository for all jobs on that database.
Cheers Ian

Estimation of dbsize in OWB Runtime Repository

Hi,
I would like to know the procedure how to estimate the dbsize required for owb runtime repository.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

OK, a quick empirical test shows me that an average mapping at that level seems to generate about 15 rows in the audit tables - more, of course, if errors occur in the mapping as under your audit level it must also save this information.
Another quick check of the average row lengths in most of the wb_rt_audit tables, and I'll over-estimate and call it 250 bytes per row.
So, a bit of quick math:
(450 mappings per day) x (100 days) x (20 rows (overestimate) ) = 900,000 rows
Round up to a million rows for safety, and then multiply out by our average row length of 250bytes, and you have a requirement of 250MB of space for audit info - and that didn't include indexes.
Throw in the storage for your mapping metadata referenced by the runtime engine (you could measure this by the storage used right after deployment), guesstimate index spaces, leave room for safety, and with your requirements I'd probably want to start with around 400 MB which I would monitor for the first while.
But, this is just educated guesswork on my part as I normally leave this up to our DBA to deal with
Cheers,
Mike.

12/03/2013 - Beta - AIR 4.0.1240 Runtime and SDK

Adobe AIR Beta Channel Update
This beta release provides access to the latest AIR runtime and SDK (with compiler) for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android.
With this release, we are introducing a new numbering scheme for our product versions. Adopting the pattern set by Google with Chrome and Mozilla with Firefox, we will simply update the major version number with each subsequent release. In other words, beginning with the release of "Jones", Flash Player will become Flash Player 12. With each new major release, roughly every 3 months, that number will increase by one.
This change will also apply to AIR and the AIR SDK, albeit not right away. Our "Jones" release will be numbered AIR 4 and AIR SDK 4; however, with our "King" (Q2 2014) release, the version number will be synchronized with the Flash Player version at 13.
Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 4.0. Please see our release notes for full details.
New Features:
iOS - Improved Packaging Engine
We're very excited about this new feature. The new packaging engine we're working on can improve iOS packaging time up to 10 times over the current packager! However this feature is still early in development and we'd like to get your feedback. To enable this feature, please use "-useLegacyAOT no" in the ADT command, before the signing options.
Graphics: Buffer Usage flag for Stage3D
We've added a new enum Class called Context3DBufferUsage which defines two constants, STATIC_DRAW (default) and DYNAMIC_DRAW. These constants specify how buffers will be used in Stage3D. We've also added a new parameter, called "bufferUsage", to the constructors of VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer. This "bufferUsage" parameter uses one of the constants form Context3DBufferUsage, which will allow you to select the appropriate buffer type according to your needs.
Android Workers
Introduced as a beta feature in AIR 3.9, we're continuing to improve this feature based on your feedback in preparation for an official release in AIR 4.
Android - Support for native resources access by R* mechanism in native extension
Currently, to use the native Android resources in the Android Native Extension one has to use getResourceID() API while typically to access the resource IDs developers use the R.* mechanism. AIR 4.0 onwards, apps developers will be able to access the resources by R.* mechanism. All the dependencies need to be specified in platform.xml as following and all the dependencies and resources to be packaged in the ANE.
Supplementary Characters Enhancement Support for TextField – EXTENDED BETA
This is a desktop enhancement for supporting surrogate pairs in the TextField control. Now, characters out of the Basic Multilingual Plane(BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF will work correctly in the TextField control. It greatly enlarges the code point range we support and includes characters like emotion symbols (emoticons) and complex CCJK characters. This feature is being introduced in the AIR 4 beta but will go live in a subsequent release. Due to the sensitive nature of text display, we would like an extended test period to ensure no bugs are introduced.
Stage3D Creation of Context3D with Profile Array
We've added a new interface to Stage3D.requestContext3DMatchingProfiles(profiles:Vector.<String> ) which will create a Context3D with highest level suitable profile that is in profile array, based on the current hardware. A developer can check the newly added property 'profile' to obtain the current profile that was chosen by the Flash Runtime.
Support for Android 4.4 (KitKat)
We've completed our support testing with AIR against the latest Android 4.4 release. Please let us know if you encounter any problems.
Known Issues:
Timeline animation does not play properly in Air 3.9. [3647538]
Hunger Games Adventures become unplayable after 10 min on iOS7 [3651083]
Text field stops updating on iOS 7 after giving voice input. [3658462]
Fixed Issues:
[iOS] Context3D 'drawToBitmapData' does not adhere to device orientation changes. [3638742]
[Android] ANE gives error on calling System.loadLibrary() method when APK is packaged in target apk-captive-runtime. [3676327]
[Android 4.4] No events are honored on microphone object. [3668138]
[Workers] AIR 3.9 for android, can not load file in non-primordial worker. [3643406]
[iOS] Rotating app to landscape on iOS 7 pushes view off screen and shows status bar [3648197]

Ok, just figured this out. The cert I created was somehow malformed. I simply created a new one with the Flash IDE which worked fine. Any other method of creating the cert that I tried failed, including the keytool command line utility.

12/10/2013 - Beta - AIR 4.0.1320 Runtime and SDK

Adobe AIR Beta Channel Update
This beta release provides access to the latest AIR runtime and SDK (with compiler) for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android.
With this release, we are introducing a new numbering scheme for our product versions. Adopting the pattern set by Google with Chrome andMozilla with Firefox, we will simply update the major version number with each subsequent release. In other words, beginning with the release of"Jones", Flash Player will become Flash Player 12. With each new major release, roughly every 3 months, that number will increase by one.
This change will also apply to AIR and the AIR SDK, albeit not right away. Our "Jones" release will be numbered AIR 4 and AIR SDK 4; however,with our "King" (Q2 2014) release, the version number will be synchronized with the Flash Player version at 13.
Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 4.0. Please see our release notes for full details.
New Features:
iOS - Improved Packaging Engine
We're very excited about this new feature. The new packaging engine we're working on can improve iOS packaging time up to 10 times over the current packager! However this feature is still early in development and we'd like to get your feedback. To enable this feature, please use "-useLegacyAOT no" in the ADT command, before the signing options.
Graphics: Buffer Usage flag for Stage3D
We've added a new enum Class called Context3DBufferUsage which defines two constants, STATIC_DRAW (default) and DYNAMIC_DRAW. These constants specify how buffers will be used in Stage3D. We've also added a new parameter, called "bufferUsage", to the constructors of VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer. This "bufferUsage" parameter uses one of the constants form Context3DBufferUsage, which will allow you to select the appropriate buffer type according to your needs.
Android Workers
Introduced as a beta feature in AIR 3.9, we're continuing to improve this feature based on your feedback in preparation for an official release in AIR 4.
Android - Support for native resources access by R* mechanism in native extension
Currently, to use the native Android resources in the Android Native Extension one has to use getResourceID() API while typically to access the resource IDs developers use the R.* mechanism. AIR 4.0 onwards, apps developers will be able to access the resources by R.* mechanism. All the dependencies need to be specified in platform.xml as following and all the dependencies and resources to be packaged in the ANE.
Supplementary Characters Enhancement Support for TextField – EXTENDED BETA
This is a desktop enhancement for supporting surrogate pairs in the TextField control. Now, characters out of the Basic Multilingual Plane(BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF will work correctly in the TextField control. It greatly enlarges the code point range we support and includes characters like emotion symbols (emoticons) and complex CCJK characters. This feature is being introduced in the AIR 4 beta but will go live in a subsequent release. Due to the sensitive nature of text display, we would like an extended test period to ensure no bugs are introduced.
Stage3D Creation of Context3D with Profile Array
We've added a new interface to Stage3D.requestContext3DMatchingProfiles(profiles:Vector.<String> ) which will create a Context3D with highest level suitable profile that is in profile array, based on the current hardware. A developer can check the newly added property 'profile' to obtain the current profile that was chosen by the Flash Runtime.
Support for Android 4.4 (KitKat)
We've completed our support testing with AIR against the latest Android 4.4 release. Please let us know if you encounter any problems.
Known Issues:
[3680824] Application playing mp3/video crashes after coming to foreground from background.
Fixed Issues:
[3679894] [Android] Returning from Alarm Clock on Android causes black screen
[3655695] Sound gets stop on clicking Power button even when UIBackground tag value set to Audio in application.xml
[3650915] Packaging multiple SWFs fails, even with ample memory
[3648374] Timeline animation does not play properly in Air 3.9
[3658462] Text field stops updating on iOS7 after giving voice input.

8/20/2014 - Beta - AIR 15.0.0.233 Runtime and SDK

Adobe AIR Beta Channel Update
This beta release provides access to the latest AIR runtime and SDK (with compiler) for Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android. You can download the AIR beta here: Download Adobe AIR 15 Beta - Adobe Labs
Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 15. Please see our release notes for full details.
New Features:
Stage3D “Standard” profile support for iOS and Android
In the Flash Runtime 14 release we introduced the Stage3D “Standard” profile which provided many advanced 3D features. At that time, the “Standard” profile was only available on desktop platforms. In the AIR 15 release we are extending this coverage to mobile platforms. If a device supports OpenGL ES3, it can successfully request the “Standard” profile and use the same advanced features as the desktop platform.
Relaxing Stage3D Render Target Clear
In previous versions of Stage3D, after switching the render texture through Context3D::setRenderToTexture, you were required to clear it before drawing. In this release, we're removing this limitation and optimizing the use of render textures. This change will allow you to further optimize and reuse depth and stencil buffers between different render textures.
StageText.drawViewPortToBitmapData now supports Retina displays
Currently, AIR will allow a bitmap with the same width/height of the StageText object to be passed into drawViewPortToBitmapData. While fine for standard resolution displays, this is not sufficient for Apple's Retina HiDPI displays. Based on customer feedback, we've altered the drawViewPortToBitmapData method to accept a doubled size BitmapData with StageText's view port on a Mac Retina display, and then draw a HiDPI image from the view port.
Improved Packaging Engine is now default - iOS
Starting AIR 15, new improved IPA packaging engine is now the default packaging mode when packaging for AOT targets ipa-app-store, ipa-test, ipa-ad-hoc and ipa-debug. If you encounter any packaging or runtime issues, please report at http://bugbase.adobe.com. To use older packaging mode, use "-useLegacyAOT yes" in the ADT command, before the signing options. To learn more about the feature, please follow http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/ios-packaging-compiled-mode.html
AIR Gamepad Enhancements
AIR Gamepad feature enables the app developers to provide a second screen on Android mobile devices for the Flash based browser games. AIR Gamepad API enables Flash based browser apps to connect to a paired Android device running the AIR Runtime app and therefore allowing the Android devices to be used as game controllers or second-screen interfaces. Following enhancements are available starting AIR 15.
Multiplayer Support
Gyroscope Events
Magnetometer Events
Applying skin as AIR gamepad screen
To learn more about the feature and usage guidelines, please follow www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/android-air-devices-as-gamepads.html
AIR Cross Promotion
Adobe AIR 15 now supports cross promotion of AIR games for mobile devices. Cross promotions can be effective in saving some amount of advertising cost. With the right partnership, you gain access to a wider customer base with a demographic similar to that of your application. This cross promotion is free and works on a credit system. All you need is to earn enough credit points by promoting other AIR games to begin your own promotion campaign. The AIR SDK offers the new AdViewer API for promotion campaigns as a SWC, it provides functions to load and show in-game advertisements. You earn credit points for promoting AIR games by other developers based on ad impressions and clicks. To learn more about the feature and usage guidelines, please follow www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/cross-promotion-of-air-games-mobile.html

I've settled on the following workaround, which fixes the problem consistently, albeit with a slight flicker sometimes:
Check if you're on Android;
Add an ENTER_FRAME listener to the stage in the activation handler (called when returning to the app from an overlay displayed by a native extension);
Use a ticker to have 2 frames delay between the quality switch, anything quicker than that resulted in inconsistent or non-functional behavior for our app;
Switch from StageQuality.LOW to StageQuality.HIGH and back again. Going to MEDIUM and back did *not* result in a fix.
In my case, the code for the switch itself looks like this:
private function OnActivate(event:Event):void
     if (Settings.IS_ANDROID)
          _Ticker = 0;
          stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, OnEnterFrameFixGPUContextLoss);
private function OnEnterFrameFixGPUContextLoss(event:Event):void
     _Ticker ++;
     if (stage.quality.toLowerCase() == StageQuality.LOW) // stage.quality returns string in capitals
          stage.quality = StageQuality.HIGH;
     else
          if (_Ticker > 2)
               stage.quality = StageQuality.LOW;
               stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, OnEnterFrameFixGPUContextLoss);

6/10/14 - Release - AIR 14 Runtime and SDK

Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of AIR is available for immediate download.
This update includes the following fixes and security updates:
Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-14)
New Features:
Anisotropic Filtering
This new texture sampling filter can enhance the image quality of textures on surfaces that are at oblique viewing angles. There are two ways to enable this feature:
In AGAL, set one of the values – "anisotropic2x", "anisotropic4x", "anisotropic8x", or "anisotropic16x" to the filter option in the sampling instructions.
Call Context3D::setSamplerStateAt with the 3rd parameter "filter" being one of the values defined in Context3DTextureFilter - "ANISOTROPIC2X", "ANISOTROPIC4X", "ANISOTROPIC8X", or "ANISOTROPIC16X"
New Stage3D "Standard" Profile
Developers can now request this high level profile when creating Context3D. Three new features are available in this profile:
Multiple render target allows to you to draw geometry to multiple outputs (up to 4) during one drawing
Floating point texture allows you to create Texture, RectangleTexture and CubeTuxture with the RGBA16F folder.
AGAL v2 contains these improvements:
Increased register size
Partial derivative instructions
Fragment depth output
Conditional forward jump
Intel x86 Android Support
As announced in our Flash Runtime blog, we're adding support for Intel x86 Android to AIR. An ADT command line option (-arch) has been added to allow packaging apps with Android x86 support. Please note that currently only captive runtime packaging is allowed for x86 architecture. This means all APK targets (apk, apk-debug and apk-captive-runtime) will forcibly be packaged with captive runtime. Feedback on this approach is encouraged.
Sample APK packaging command for x86 devices:
adt -package -target ( apk | apk-captive-runtime ) -arch x86 -storetype pkcs12 -keystore abc.p12 HelloWorld.apk HelloWorld-app.xml HelloWorld.swf
adt -package -target apk-debug -arch x86 -storetype pkcs12 -keystore abc.p12 HelloWorld.apk HelloWorld-app.xml HelloWorld.swf
Note that -arch is optional. If not specified, armv7 is assumed.
Packaging for x86 architecture in Flash Builder:
Open the debug/run configurations of the project in Flash Builder and click on "Customize launch.." button. Add a new parameter "-arch" with value "x86" and place it before "-storetype". Click "OK" to apply changes.
Except for RTMPE and DRM, all other features and capabilities are completely functional and supported. Native extensions written for x86 platforms can also be packaged and used by an app for x86 devices. To support this, a new ANE platform 'Android-x86' is now available.
The following example highlights the usage of the same -
<extension xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/14.0>
<id>com.adobe.sample.ane</id>
<versionNumber>1.0</versionNumber>
<platforms>
<platform name="Android-ARM">
<applicationDeployment>
<nativeLibrary>sample.jar</nativeLibrary>
<initializer>com.example.ane.Extension</initializer>
<finalizer>com.example.ane.Extension</finalizer>
</applicationDeployment>
</platform>
<platform name="Android-x86">
<applicationDeployment>
<nativeLibrary>sample.jar</nativeLibrary>
<initializer>com.example.ane.Extension</initializer>
<finalizer>com.example.ane.Extension</finalizer>
</applicationDeployment>
</platform>
</platforms>
</extension>
New packaging command for ANE:
adt -package -target ane Sample.ane extension.xml -swc Sample.swc -platform Android-ARM -C Android-ARM/ . -platform Android-x86 -C Android-x86/ .
Improved Packaging Engine - iOS
Based on the feedback received from the developer community, tons of improvements and bug fixes have been made in the new packaging engine for iOS. We encourage developers to report issues to http://bugbase.adobe.com, to ensure that we are able to continue to improve the packager in future releases.
To enable this feature, please use "-useLegacyAOT no" in the ADT command, before the signing options. As of now, this feature is not available within Flash Pro but it can still be used with Flash builder by adding the parameter -useLegacyAOT under the "Customize launch" option.
Here is an example ADT command for compiling an applications using “-useLegacyAOT no":
adt -package -target ( ipa-test | ipa-debug | ipa-app-store | ipa-ad-hoc) -useLegacyAOT no -provisioning-profile -keystore -storetype pkcs12 -storepass xxxx HelloWorld.ipa Helloworld-app.xml HelloWorld.swf

AIR Gamepad
AIR Gamepad feature enables the app developers to provide a second screen on Android mobile devices for the Flash based browser games. AIR Gamepad API enables Flash based browser apps to connect to a paired Android device running the AIR Runtime app and therefore allowing the Android devices to be used as game controllers or second-screen interfaces.
Key functionality of this feature:
Gesture eventsTouch events
Accelerometer events
Vibration
Customize the AIR gamepad screen by applying your own skins
