Problem render mode "direct" Android

I'm developing an app with Adobe Air 14.0.0.137, Flash CC and Starling.
I detected an strange issue. If a set Render Mode as "Direct" the stage3D starts but no display list objects appear on the screen. I can see a white screen and only then my Starling app starts up.
If I set Render mode "Auto" the display list objects appear on the screen, but starling can't startup.
This is making my "splash-screen" fail, showing a white screen instead an flat image.
As I remember, in direct mode is still possible to see the tradicional display list objects. This is only happening on Android.
Everything works as expected on PC and iOS (ipad), but not in Android.
Any thoughts?

I'm experiencing it as well, on some android devices only. I can't reproduce it as it works well on my device. But some testers have that exact same problem.

Render mode gpu and softkeyboard issues

IHi,
If I'm using the render mode "gpu" or "direct" for my Air Android project, the stage is not resizing correctly if the soft keyboard comes up. (there are 150 px of blank free space over the soft keyboard)
Everything works correctly if I'm using the render mode "cpu".
s this a known issue?
How to fix it?
I'm using Flash CS6 and Air 3.8
Thanks

There are definitely some bugs going on with the softkeyboard on Android. Check out my releated issue: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1281872?tstart=0

Print SSRS Server Report in landscape or portrait mode directly(without report viewer control)

Hello,
.Net 4.0\VS2010\C#\ssrs 2008 on Sql Server 2008R2
Having a problem printing a Server report while controlling the orientation and the size of the emf rendered to the physical page.
I have the report cutting off in both landscape and portrait modes. I'm passing the following deviceinfo to the render function:
string DeviceInfo =
@"<DeviceInfo>
<OutputFormat>EMF</OutputFormat>
<PageWidth>8.5in</PageWidth>
<PageHeight>11in</PageHeight>
<MarginTop>0.25in</MarginTop>
<MarginLeft>0.25in</MarginLeft>
<MarginRight>0.25in</MarginRight>
<MarginBottom>0.25in</MarginBottom>
</DeviceInfo>";
return DeviceInfo;
string mimeType; string fileExtension; Stream pageStream = serverReport.Render("IMAGE", deviceInfo, firstPageParameters, out mimeType, out fileExtension);
No other settings seem to have an affect on controlling the output to printer or pdf. i.e. The deviceinfo params fed to server report's render function are all you get. I think my original code comes from an MSDN or CodeProject example. I'm not
inventing anything new here.
Links below indicate similar problems but they are looking at the issue from just landscape mode. Seems like I ought to be able to squash or expand the image to whatever size I specify, separate from the 'page' size. Please let me know what i need
to know to make these reports print without bleeding onto 2 pages or slicing off the right side of the document image.

Hi
FraterJoanni,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
I am not expert in SSRS. You should get better response in SQL Server > SQL
Server Reporting Services, Power View forum.
After take a look at the similar threads links as you posted above.
The conclusion is we needn’t tell the program o this report is landscape not portrait. If the width is larger than the height, the report will be printed in landscape; otherwise, it will be printed in portrait.
>>Links below indicate similar problems but they are looking at the issue from just landscape mode.
But in C# forum, we only from the point of code, code looks OK to me.
A similar blog talking about this
Controlling Page Size in a Reporting Services Report
And I have got the default page size in the US is Letter, 8.5in x 11in. In other parts of the world A4 (8.3in x 11.7in) is the standard.
65: //build the device settings (A4 8.3 × 11.7)
66: string deviceInfo = string.Format("<DeviceInfo><PageHeight>{0}</PageHeight><PageWidth>{1}</PageWidth></DeviceInfo>", "11.7in", "8.3in");

What's the status of GPU render mode on mobile targets?

Hi,
I've developed a few applications for Android and IOS using AIR. Specifically using the GPU render mode alongside StageQuality.LOW for better performance.
I was hoping for information on whether this is still a usable method as last year there was a period where it appeared depreciated or at least not supported on high res Android:
Lorenzon Nuvoletta's google plus thread:
https://plus.google.com/+LorenzoNuvoletta/posts/AhjX4XnrAzL
The 'fixed' bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3370376
The 'issue' is now marked as fixed, but I am still a little concerned about it's use in future. Are Adobe still supporting this render mode?
Thanks,
Nick H

Hi Nick,
We don't plan any further enhancements for GPU mode. Our recommendation is to use stage3D (or use frameworks like Starling) with direct mode, rather than using GPU mode if at all possible.
Thanks,
Chris

What is the best AIR render mode?

In Flash Professional Help / Publishing AIR for Android applications (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/publishing-air-android-applications.html) I found the following:
===========
Render mode
Allows you to specify which method the AIR runtime uses to render graphic content. The options include:
    Auto - automatically detect and use the fastest rendering method available on the host device.
    CPU - Use the CPU.
    GPU - Use the GPU. If no GPU is available, the CPU is used.
    Direct - Render using Stage3D. This is the fastest available rendering method.
==========
If the Auto mode automatically selects the fastest rendering method, what is the point of the 3 other options?
My application has some minor 2D animations, but very smooth drag-and-drop performance is important. What rendering mode would you recommend?
Thank you.

Last I heard, "auto" was never implemented. Auto=CPU mode.

SetVector and GPU render mode

Hello,
If i use the setVector method on a BitmapData in GPU render mode on a mobile device, it works very slow.
This changes if the render mode is CPU. The method is fast enough.
The problem lies in the fact that if I use CPU render mode the app i;m developing is getting very slow, while on GPU it works great.
setPixel32 is even slower,it even won't work with lock/unlock.
Where the problem lies? How can I bipass this since setPixel32 or setVector is a must have when working with bitmaps.
UPDATE:
I've tested alot, and it seems the problem lies not with setVector method but with copying transparent pixels
You can find the code here since i've asked the question o stackexchange too: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21827049/gpu-vs-cpu-render-mode-adobe-air

Hi Lucian,
Unfortunately, I am unaware of any tutorials on the net I could recommend, though I am sure there are a few -- not on the subject of setting up render targets, specifically -- most likely-- but on setting up Stage3D + shaders.
One source I would recommend, though, if this is your first time setting up a Stage3D render pipeline, besides the code examples in the Stage3D Adobe reference, is this great book:
http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Stage3D-Molehill-Programming-Beginners/dp/1849691681/ref=sr_1_ sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392715725
It's a quick read. Nicely presented and explained. I think in 3-5 days you could be up and running.
I would also browse this site. You might get some ideas:
http://www.flashandmath.com
Regarding using render targets to identify areas that have changed and need further processing:
This is a fairly common practice when interactivity is key, and works well in some use-cases.
For example, in Photoshop, there is a filter called "Liquify", with which you can stretch and compress an image in real-time. There are 2 ways to do this effect, live: one is to map the source -- undistorted-- image onto a grid of polygons, and start pushing and pulling the vertices. The other method -- same principle, but finer -- is to paint the compression field into a render target ( a texture ), temporarily, while you work in real time by 'painting' the effect ( note: the displacement vectors are based off of the gradient of the compression field ). Conceivably, you could also paint the vectors directly, as if painting a normal map. Once the user is happy with the look, then the user clicks 'apply', and the render target is used one last time to bake the displacements into the source image.
Other example: I once worked on a game where the player could use a laser beam to scar all the buildings of a 3D city. The way this was done was that each building had its own render target ( usually a 256x256 ), into which the user could 'draw' ( even though the player never saw this render target, which was just a grayscale mask ). The render target was then fed into the building's exterior shader, which would use it to identify which areas to show the destruction effect into.
Overall, the idea is to use a render target ( usually smaller that the source texture it will end up modifying ) to paint either a mask, or vectors ( like a normal map ), which is then used along with the source texture in the final shader to create the look you want.
Although I haven't had to use render targets for this particular situation, lately, I use render targets frequently, otherwise, to draw my assets into and apply shaders, and then draw the render target into the backbuffer, at the very end.
The reasons for this is explained here ( along with other tips ):

Render modes

I have what I hope is a basic question. I have been using color rendering mode for my w3d in my director project. Question: Is there an render mode for a "line art" type look? I am trying to recreate what a user would see in a basic architectual package like AutoCad in the hidden line mode.

You could try setting the .renderStyle of the desired shader to #wire:
member("3dworld").shader("sphere").renderStyle = #wire
3dpi provides a nice GUI for shockwave 3d members.

Flash and AIR iOS Render Mode

Discovered when I add video to my project I have to use GPU Render Mode to play the video smoothly. But this causes any Filters I've applied to text objects to disappear. Tried numerous ways of correcting including cacheAsBitmap... doesn't work. On some of my MovieClips I've checked ExportAsBitmap and that does work.
Any suggestions to find a medium in both worlds?
Video to play correctly and text objects with Filters applied to them.
Testing on my iPad.

I've heard and its been my experience that GPU shouldn't be used when dealing with video.

Bluetooth problems with Xperia C4 - Android Wear - Motorola 360

Hello, I have a serious problem with my new Sony Xperia C4 Dual phone
I'm always losing the connection with my Motorola 360 smartwatch.The first time I start everything, I can pair my phone with my watch.
Everything is working fine (watchfaces, apps, notifications, etc).
But randomly (can be 1 hour or can be 1 day, when the phone is too far from the watch, after a phone restart, or ...) the Bluetooth connection is lost and will never come back.
If I could restart the connection that would not be that serious but... I can't!
Android Wear will then start hanging on "Connecting" state and it will not reconnnect until I completely restart the pairing process. The only way is to reconnect is :
1. Delete the watch in Motorola Connect
2. Delete the watch in Android Wear
3. Hard reset the watch (otherwise it's impossible to start the pairing process)
4. Turn off and turn on bluetooth on Xperia C4
5. Disconnect all other Bluetooth devices (like car audio and BSP10 Speaker)
6. Restart the pairing process
The whole process is taking about 15 minutes and 30% of the watch battery. (because every apps needs to be reinstalled) What I did so far and did not fix the random disconnection problem :
-Hard resetted 2 times the phone
-Hard resetted 4 times the watch (2x on 5.0 and 2x on 5.1 Android Wear)
-Restarted many times the phone
-Restarted many times the watch
-Tried with the "Sony Smart Connect App" disabled on the phone
-Tried without any extra app on the watch (uninstalled trackID or Sony Music, for example)
-Updated all the apps on the phone
-Tried with a "Blank" phone and "Blank" watch (did not install ANY application) What I can say :
-The problem occurs even in Android 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 on the watch (Motorola has just rolled out the 5.1.1 OTA)
-The problem occurs with different Moto 360 Watches (tried with the watch of a friend, same problems)
-The problem occurs only on the Xperia C4 (Dual) phone. (works great on a Zopo ZP999, Wiko Highway and Galaxy S3)
-Even after resetting, it is sometimes difficult to find the watch in the Bluetooth list, while every other phone can see the watch perfectly!
-Bluetooth hardware is working perfectly, because I can connect to my car, with my BSP10 speaker and another Bose SLIII Speaker. Additional information for the watch :Motorola 360 Watch Build LDZ220Android Wear 1.1.1.2006643Google Play Services 7.5.76 (2002306-534)Android Platform 5.1.1 Additional information for the phone :Android 5.0Model E5333 (Xperia C4 Dual)Build 27.1.B.1.81Smart Connect 5.7.18.401 (11 june 2015) What I think :
There is something that is preventing the watch from being connected properly in the Sony extra Apps.
I think the Smart Connect and Throw (and maybe other) extra apps are bringing a lot of trouble to the Bluetooth connection with the watch. Since 2 days, Motorola has just rolled out the 5.1.1 update of the Moto 360 watch, the update is now enabling WiFi.
I connected my watch to the wifi and the "Cloud sync" connection is working perfectly in Android Wear.
When there is no Wifi network, the phone/watch are trying to connect back with Bluetooth... and the problems can begin. Other problem : when the watch is connected to the phone, immediatly after making NFC contact with my Sony BSP10 speaker (to pair them), the connection is lost between the phone and the watch. So if I use my speaker i will have to hard reset my watch. In fact... every morning I take my watch and I need to start that f*c*in pairing process because of the software bug on the phone.Can somebody help here?
Is there any update planned? Thanks in advance, Guich

Hello Quester : Like I said, I tried with two different watches ( 2x moto 360) and the problem is still present.
So you can exclude there is something wrong with the watch.
I tried with 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 on the watch and it has no effect. My bluetooth hardware is working fine one the phone, too. (other devices are working, like speakers, car, laptop).So clearly, there is a SOFTWARE issue that drops the pairing and makes Android Wear losing the connection and never coming back. Yesterday everything was working fine until I used the BSP10 speaker, connection with the watch was lost.
I'm absolutely sure the problem is bound to Sony Smart Connect/Throw/whatever because on other phones it works perfectly!

Render Mode Problem

Hi,
My model looks fine on my own computer, but when viewed on my friend's machine it is transparent. These screen captures show the problem:
http://www.normal-design.com/acrobat-render-prob.html
The file was saved to "solid outline". These shots show the model in "illustration" mode. You will note that you can see the back faces in the problem rendering. No matter what mode the rendering is switched to it shows this unwanted x-ray effect on my friend's machine. On mine everything appears correct.
The file in question is online here at:
http://www.normal-design.com/angled-assembly02.pdf
Anyone have any insight as to where this problem might be coming from?
Thanks,
David

Problems with EA2700 and Android devices

I enjoyed EA2700 for more than 3 months so far until I decided to change my cell phone to Galaxy S3.
I have my router operating 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz simultaneously, providing perfect internet access to my two windows 7 laptops, mac mini and iPad. This is not the case when I try to hook my Galaxy S3 phone and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. This two korean devices have a real problem using the router for internet. Both the tablet and the phone connect to the router and have strong signal, but there is no ping going through nor any other internet app works. The router is set to WPA2/WPA Mixed personal sec mode and auto channel. I even try to make it open, but even then the Android devices connect but don't have an internet access. In the same time the rest of the home pcs and mac work perfectly.
I tried, for the two last days different approaches like upgrading the router firmware, installing the cloud and the smart wi-fi interface, removing the security and opening the network…. it didn't work! What I figure out so far that if I set a guess account the devices connect without problem and have internet, although I have to manually enter the password for the guess account, which dialogue is provided through a web page you have to navigate to before attempting to use internet. I though the problem could be with the Samsung s3 and the tablet 2 7.0, and had them several time reset to their factory settings.
I tried connecting and old WRT 120N router and it worked fine!!!! just this EA2700 is still not usable with android devices running Android 4.0 OS.
Has somebody experienced the similar problem please share the found solution, otherwise I have to change the EA2700 i guess.

you may wanna try using Wireless B/G Only for network mode on 2.4GHz. check if your devices can connect to the network successfully. there was an issue with Android devices connecting to N networks before so this might be a fix. however, it will rate limit your connection speeds to 54Mbs at best.
there's also a workaround you can try on the android devices. ensure wifi is set to enable at start up. turn off wifi and reboot the device. verify your connection status. since your devices have already connected to the network, they should reconnect to the network automatically. check if you can go online from there.

Shake launches in render mode

Everytime Shake launches it is in rendering mode with the red light in the upper right corner. I have to hit the play button to get the green light. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Until I clear the red light I can't work. I'm running v4.1.

Daniel, I have a quick question: when you were having this problem, how did you open After Effects? Literally: what did you click or type to cause After Effects Render Engine to start?
Also, what operating system and version (ex., Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, or Windows 8.1) are you using?
We have recently seen an increase in the number of people who ask this question. There are multiple ways you can start After Effects, so I want to understand how you got from point A to point B.
