Push notification - iOS and Android

HI,
I was searching how to implement a push notification in flex mobile project.
During my search i found that Adobe AIR SDK 3.4 support push notification for iOS; but for android there a native extension called C2DM, but unfortunaltelly it had been deprecated.
In order to usser AIR 3.4 SDK i did an overlay for my Flex 4.6.0 SDK
I have two question.
The first one:
Is there any thrid party where it implements GCM (Google Cloud messaging for Android).
Second Question:
How flex builder, or the app, will know when to execute the code that i am going to write for iOS.
Thank you
Elie

Hey man if you are interested:
Here is a FREE Adobe Air extension for GCM messaging. It is fully working (implemented in Google Play marketed app) and there is an example provided in the package.
It also fetches the payload not only on "resume" but also when the app starts (after being closed by user or Android OS) You can download it here: http://wp.me/p2Inzv-9
I made it after i couldn't find anything viable on the web.

What I need to create and publish a magazine for iOS and Android?

Hi!
I would like to know what I need to design, create and publish a magazine for iOS and Android. I would also like to know what products I need, what price would you pay and what process I have to follow to carry out this work.
Thanks in advance!

It is NOT possible to create a Single Edition app for Android. Single Edition apps work only on the iPad.
You can create Single Edition apps using any account—CC, Pro, or Enterprise—and if you cancel your DPS subscription, these Single Edition (or single-folio) apps are still available in the App Store as long as you maintain your iOS account with Apple.
For multi-folio apps, the app container is downloaded from an app store, but the folios are downloaded from the Adobe Distribution Service. If you cancel your DPS subscription, the Adobe Distribution Service basically shuts down for that app. New users can still download your apps from an app store, but the library will be empty. Existing users can still view the folios they've downloaded, but they can't get any updates or new folios.

Adobe Reader for iOS and Android & Rights Management

This week's release of Reader for iOS and Android devices incorporates support for accessing files secured by Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management.
As you are probably familiar, LiveCycle Rights Management protects sensitive documents by encrypting them with industry-standard AES encryption and enabling central management of their access permissions. Protections persist even when documents are accidentally distributed via email, the cloud, or saved on a lost mobile device.
Many of the core capabilities that you are used to on the desktop versions of Acrobat and Reader are now supported when you are on the go on your tablet or mobile phone. We intend to incorporate additional functionality in future releases of these mobile devices and look forward to your feedback.
We've had several questions thus far about how this works. More information about the product, as well as a link to an FAQ can be found at:http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2011/10/just-released-adobe-reader-10- 1-for-ios-and-android.html

Hello Jonathan,
is there an way to trigger iOS download to immediately open using "Adobe Reader"
instead of using the default Previewer (showing an plain empty white window) and then re-open it using "Open with" ?
Is there an MIME-Type to indicate IRM-protected PDF-files?
Thanks,

Does Adobe Reader for iOS and Android Support Encryption with PKI Solution?

Hello there,
I have been searching for an answer whether or not Adobe Reader for iOS and Android can read encrypted PDF files by public key infrastructure solution (encrypted by a public key, to be decrypted by its private key pair), but to date I have not found the answer. From the Adobe web site, I understand that Adobe Reader for Android supports to read encrypted document by AES256 but it does not mention about PKI. I had to guess that it does not support encryption with PKI but I would just like to get a formal answer, and would like to know whether Adobe Reader Mobile will support it.
Thanks!
Masaya

Hi there,
Now we have Acrobat DC Mobile but I am still wondering if encryption/description using PKI solution (digital certificates) is supported. Could anyone let me know? Thank you.

Adobe Flash Player for mobile (iOS and Android) devices

I have both Apple iOS and Android devices, and can't install Adobe Flash Player on either. It appears that Adobe no longer provides Flash Player for any mobile devices. The company I work for uses a a company called Paychex for payroll and time & labor, and that program requires Adobe Flash Player to function. I am sometimes in areas where I cannot use my computer and must rely on a mobile device to clock in and out, but I can't do that because you have stopped providing the program. What do I do now?????

iOS has never been compatible with Flash, and per Apple, never will be. It's a lost cause hoping for an iPad Flash Player.
Additionally, Android dropped ALL support for Flash last year. Adobe stopped development of Flash for Android shortly afterward.
See: "Why can't I install Flash Player on my Tablet?" (Kindle or Samsung Galaxy)
The reason both Android and Apple gave for their Flash support decisions is that Flash content is very processor consumptive and it eats battery life in mobile devices.

Hello, I want to make DPS magazin for IOS and Android with a lot of text footnotes. There is about 200 footnotes per article. The idea is to make pop-up windows like in EPUB 3.0. Please help.

Remember you can only build an iPad app using your Single Edition solution (which is included in your CC membership). So you'd need a Pro or Enterprise version of DPS to be able to create the Android version.
You can create pop-ups in InDesign using the slideshow options and a multi-state object. But it's all manual labour so you'll spend a lot of time on this, also depending on the layout of your design.

Duplicate session error using Flash Remoting from Air 3.4 Mobile Apps ( IOS and Android ) with CF10

We're getting the "duplicate session" error using Flash Remoting from Air 3.4 Mobile Apps ( IOS and Android ) with Coldfusion 10 Standard.
faultCode:Server.Processing.DuplicateSessionDetected faultString:'Detected duplicate HTTP-based FlexSessions,
generally due to the remote host disabling session cookies.
Session cookies must be enabled to manage the client connection correctly.' faultDetail:'null'
Have read most of the docs about this error -all to do with LCDS
Notes:
Not using LCDS,
No Remote Calls from loaded Sub-Apps,
No Errors from the Flex Web App which is pretty much identical and calls the same cfcs.
The error does not happen all the time and is hard to reproduce - say 5% of app sessions at a guess.
Could it be a two first time remote calls hitting the server together before a session is set up?
Our remoteObjects are in two places 1) Main Application.mxml and within a class compiled into the main app - can't see how this would be an issue.
I enabled session management for the CFCs in Application.cfc but still occurs. Is this neccessary - it's not in any docs?
Could this be something to do with the app not being shut down - as is typical with mobile users? When they resume use after a day or two surely a new session will be created?
Please advise thank you.

For our profect I think this issue was caused as follows:
Believing that remoting was full asynchronous we fired a 2 or 3 remote calls to the server at the same time ( within the same function ) - usually when the users goes to a new section of the app.
This seemed to trigger the duplicate http session error since according to http://blogs.adobe.com/lin/2011/05/duplication-session-error.html two remote calls arriving before a session is created will cause 2 sessions to be created.
Our current solution ( too early to say it works ) is to daisy chain the multiple calls together .
Also there seemed to be an issue where mobile apps that never quit ( thanks Apple! ) caused the error when activated after a few hours.
I guess the session expires on the server and the error above occurs on activation.
So the mobile apps now ping the server with a remote call when activated after sleeping for more than one hour.
All duplicate http errors are silently caught and reported.
Fingers crossed we won't get any more!

Any native extension for checking memory and cpu/gpu usage of ios and android?

I need to be able to see how much memory/cpu/gpu an app uses while running for ios and android.

Hmm, maybe it can be done with code already included in flash and adobe air, it seems... donno.. found stuff like:
freeMemory
property
freeMemory:Number [read-only]
Language Version:
ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions:
Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2
The amount of memory (in bytes) that is allocated to Adobe® Flash® Player or Adobe® AIR® and that is not in use. This unused portion of allocated memory (System.totalMemory) fluctuates as garbage collection takes place. Use this property to monitor garbage collection.
Implementation
public static function get freeMemory():Number

donno how to use it...

IOS and Android Native Scroll in Adobe AIR

I think it would be a great idea to implement the smooth scroll present in native iOS and Android applications for use in Adobe AIR projects.
Currently, the only way to obtain smooth scrolling lists with images is using StageWebView to show the image list in HTML format, and then awkwardly implement some JavaScript / AS3 communication functionality so the list in the StageWebView is interactive and can communicate with the main program. This is excessively complicated and very error prone (I've found some inexplicable JavaScript errors that only happen in the iPad, not in Android, and not in the PC!).
It would be way better to be able to skip all the StageWebView process altogether and being able to use a simple AS3 API to put any sprite/movieclip into a scrollable canvas which can be moved using the iOS native scroll.
Using Flash animation to simulate the scroll in a list with images is too slow in the iPad and gives a bad user experience. iPad users expect the native iPad scroll, not some poor jerky simulation. A native scroll is the only way to go.
And even though I talk about the iPad, this should be applicable to the native Android scroll, too.
Scrolling is a VERY BASIC action in a tablet, so this should be implemented as soon as possible.
Actually, I'm amazed we're already at AIR 3.0 beta, and still after all this time nobody thought of this. All sorts of fancy stuff is being added to AIR (hardware accelerated video, webcam and microphone access, etc...) but still something as basic and important as a smooth scroll, which every tablet user expects, is still not possible in Adobe AIR. We either have to implement some slow Flash animated scroll, or use the extremely complicated StageWebView with JavaScript/AS3 communication approach (I'm using a third party library called StageWebViewBridge for the JS/AS3 interoperations, which is great, but still, it's a far from ideal solution, since it's pretty fiddly and the JavaScript code doesn't always work properly in iOS).

Hi again jackson@mja.
I've given your scroll component a try just for some static texts, and I've found quite a few important bugs:
1. If the referenced sprite/movieclip is shorter than the scrolling area, it starts bouncing infinitely in a quite funny way,
    which renders the component unusable. Sometimes it even happens when the content is not shorter.
2. If your component is used inside another sprite/movieclip which is added dynamically from code ("addChild(mySprite);"),
    it doesn't work and stops with an error, because the EventListener for mouseDownHandler is being added to this.stage
    in the constructor, but a dynamic movieclip doesn't have access to the stage while in the constructor step (unless it is
    already in the stage added in the Flash IDE, such as in your FLA example). To fix this, I've added the following code
    to the ScrollArea() constructor:
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
this.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, close);
    And then I've added the following listener functions:
private function init(event:Event):void {
this.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
this.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, this.mouseDownHandler);
private function close(event:Event):void {
this.stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, this.mouseDownHandler);
3. Also, the scrollbar is only correctly rendered if the scroll area is located at the up and left corner of the stage. To put text somewhere else, the component must be put inside a movieclip.
4. This is not really important, but I've found the following variables are never user and so I've removed these lines:
var xy:Point = this.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x, this.y));
var wh:Point = this.localToGlobal(new Point(this.width, this.height));
var sign:int = sign(obj[i]);
I hope this can help you improve your classes.
Best regards,
OMA2k

A universal video format for iOS and Android?

Hello
I have open the Folio that I have originally made for the iPad on a Samsung Galaxy Tab and I see a lot of differences in the way videos are played.
It seems that for the iPad I need to always use the H264 codec, but on a Samsung galaxy tablet this is not the good way to do it. After various tests I see that I must use the F4V format (which uses the H264 codec) in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5
The problem is that F4V with the H264 codec can't be read on the iPad.
Thus...
- Or there is only one method to create video files that can be read on iOS and Android and it would be great if somebody can tell me which app and which presets to use...
- Or we must always create two different video exports, one for iOS and the other one for Android.
In DPS' s user manual, this issue is not covered.
Thank you.

What do I need to do to have an answer to a basic question and a necessary issue ? To buy and Adobe DPS Pro licence ? ;-)
Well, you should also know that in addition to getting your questions answered more promptly, Adobe has top secret 'DPS Pro/Enterprise Lounges' in several major cities. These are not unlike 1st Class Lounges that can be found in airlines. You get free beer, pretzels, and free wifi.
Okay, now getting serious:
1. HAVE YOU TRIED HANDBRAKE TO ENCODE THE VIDEO? If not, stop whatever you're doing and give it a try. Conversion software is not all the same. Adobe's H.264 is better than it's ever been, but it's a pretty well-known fact that Handbrake is the BEST encoder out there for mp4/H.264. Relying on Adobe to always give you satisfactory results for video conversion is FOLLY.
2. I've read in several places the Galaxy has trouble with mp4 files. There's not a million threads with this news; actually only a handful. Nonetheless, the news is out there. I created mp4 files for viewing on a Motorola Xoom and they played FLAWLESSLY. That's the trouble with the Android platform - every manufacturer is free to mess with the code and put their own wrapper over the OS. Things get messed up, and consistency of platform becomes a problem.

Well nothing prevent you from mixing flascc with native extension.
Also, I think that you can also use domain memory in AS3 with the Bytearray class (not sure about that).
Flascc vs normal as3 is mostly a question of language (portability) Do you want to write as3 or c++?
Native extension give you speed and native platform access(platform specific feature).
So, you should think about it this way:
AS3, run in flash and air. Is sandboxed. Can use domain memory, but it's a bit harder to leverage than flascc.
Flascc, run in flash and air. Is sandboxed, Can use domain memory. Give you the potential of leveraging the hundreds of opensources lib already out there.
Native extension, run ONLY in air. Is not sandboxed. Native memory management. Also let you leverage the c++ lib.
The best (in my opinion) is to write native code for mobile and desktop (no air or flascc involve) and use flascc for the flash/web platform. It's harder, because you have write portable native code (lots of abstraction), but you mostly have the same problem with native extension.

Use of compiler argument -swf-version=18 for AIR3.5 IOS and Android with Flex4.6 ?

I've just downloaded the latest Air 3.5 SDK and merged it with Flex 4.6 inside Flashbuilder.
This leaves the merged SDK with 2 playerGlobal.swc files. 11.1 and 11.5 ( swf version 18 )
For IOS and Android projects do I need to add the compiler argument -swf-version = 18 so that the compiler uses the latest version of the playerGlobal.swc ?
Is this done automatically ?
Is it essential / undesirable ?
Any clarification is greatly appreciated

BBM for iOS and Android to Launch This Summer

PRESS RELEASE TAKEN FROM : http://press.blackberry.com/press/2013/bbm-for-ios-and-android-to-launch-this-summer-.html
Waterloo, ON – BlackBerry® (NASDAQ: BBRY; TSX: BB) today announced plans to make its ground-breaking mobile social network, BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™), available to iOS® and Android™ users this summer, with support planned for iOS6, and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher, all subject to approval by the Apple App Store and Google Play. BBM sets the standard for mobile instant messaging with a fast, reliable, engaging experience that includes delivered and read statuses, and personalized profiles and avatars. Upon release, BBM customers would be able to broaden their connections to include friends, family and colleagues on other mobile platforms.
In the planned initial release, iOS and Android users would be able to experience the immediacy of BBM chats, including multi-person chats, as well as the ability to share photos and voice notes, and engage in BBM Groups, which allows BBM customers to create groups of up to 30 people.
“For BlackBerry, messaging and collaboration are inseparable from the mobile experience, and the time is definitely right for BBM to become a multi-platform mobile service. BBM has always been one of the most engaging services for BlackBerry customers, enabling them to easily connect while maintaining a valued level of personal privacy. We’re excited to offer iOS and Android users the possibility to join the BBM community,” said Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President, Software Product Management and Ecosystem, at BlackBerry.
BBM is loved by customers for its “D” and “R” statuses, which show up in chats to let people know with certainty that their message has been delivered and read. It provides customers with a high level of control and privacy over who they add to their contact list and how they engage with them, as invites are two-way opt-in. iOS and Android users would be able to add their contacts through PIN, email, SMS or QR code scan, regardless of platform. Android users would also be able to connect using a compatible NFC-capable device.
BBM has more than 60 million monthly active customers, with more than 51 million people using BBM an average of 90 minutes per day. BBM customers collectively send and receive more than 10 billion messages each day, nearly twice as many messages per user per day as compared to other mobile messaging apps. Almost half of BBM messages are read within 20 seconds of being received; indicating how truly engaged BBM customers are.
Today, BlackBerry also announced BBM Channels, a new social engagement platform within BBM that will allow customers to connect with the businesses, brands, celebrities and groups they are passionate about. BlackBerry plans to add support for BBM Channels as well as voice and video chatting for iOS and Android later this year, subject to approval by the Apple App Store and Google Play.
If approved by Apple and Google, the BBM app will be available as a free download in the Apple® App StoreSM and Google Play store. Additional details about system requirements and availability will be announced closer to the launch.
Remember to like someone's post if it was useful!

I agree, it's too bad it won't be available for WP8 right away, but hopefully it'll be coming down the road.
BBM is a really nice platform. A lot of my former BBM contacts are now my WhatsApp contacts, but BBM is more secure and doesn't use your phone number, which some people don't want available to group members. Also, I like that BBM doesn't show everyone when you last used the application, like Facebook Chat and WhatsApp do.
