Reduce size of Air runtime for mobile apps

Flash & Air are fantastic for create Android apps
but most of user don't have Air Runtime package on their phones and we must embed this in publish
unfortunately the size of adobe air runtime is about 8 MB ! and with slow internet it take long time to download the apps , and even for getting this apps with Bluetooth
is there any chance to reduce size of Adobe Air Runtime ?
or create various version of Air runtime , for example in most project we don't need play video or sound ...

This has been asked before several times. I doubt you will get a procedure from NI on how to do this since the run-time engine is intended to be a collection of libraries to be used by various types of LabVIEW apps.
That said, it doesn mean that users haven't tried to figure out how to do it. Note: I do not recommend this practice nor can I speak to its effectiveness since I've never tried it.

Possible to pack Air runtime with mobile app?

Many friends told me if my mobile app need something else to be installed to run, they will quit. I think unless most mobiles installed Air runtime in the future. We must make the installation more user-friendly.
Can I pack the runtime together with app? Or is ther another work around?

Flex 4.6 / Air 3.0 introduced Captive Runtime, which is exactly what you are requesting. You choose the version of Flex/Air to be included in your app and it is bundled into the build. This has been the only option for iOS, but is now available for Android as well. When exporting a release build of your project in the newest version of Flash Builder, there is an option in the Deployment tab to "Export application with captive runtime".

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!

SSL Pinning support for mobile apps ?

Hi there
i've just read this article and wondered if there is cross platform support for SSL pinning for mobile apps (iOS and Android) developed with AIR ?
So far my Google research wasn't successful, therefore i ask here.
Maybe this feature could be supported by a native extension ?
Thank you for any hint.

I believe IBM has a mini version of DB2 designed for mobile Apps.
Good Luck,

Air Runtime for Andorid Emulator

Hi at all,
i've installed the Andorid Virtual Device (target Froyo) but i need to install Air Runtime for Emulator [Froyo].
On Adobe Lab site the link is missing!
Can anyone share this .apk file?
Thanks!

Hi,
The emulator runtime is included in the AIR 2.5 SDK. If you've downloaded
the Flash CS5 extension for Android, or downloaded the 2.5 SDK itself, I
found the runtimes here:

Help me in embedding a map for mobile app

I have built a basic simple iphone app in flash cs5.Now I want to create a new scene in flash cs5 to show this map fully funtional along with markers in a small resolution for mobile app.(iphone)
link of the map:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=100795895206195398252.00044490e878 965c7dd91&t=p&om=0&ll=12.340002,77.409668&spn=4.989012,7.404785&source=embed
Pls help me out in sorting this problem out

You need to sign up for google maps API here : http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html, get your API key. You need this otherwise it will not work. Thendownload the SDK, from here:http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/ its on the right, on step 2, "SDK"
the set up flash with the SDK, and then in your components inspector there will be a new folder saying google.
Drag that component onto the stage. Then add this code: information will need to be changed to suit your location and API KEY
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.geom.Point;
import com.google.maps.LatLng;
import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
import com.google.maps.MapType;
public class googlemap extends Sprite {
var map:Map = new Map();
public function googlemap() {
map.key = "ABQIAAAAF5GHwa7hgxz5etSP-jJVwhSK_rP-_Usta8fEpiVtC50gLzF69hQ6_VK0zgpArekpmdsRCJK2Vnp60A";
map.setSize(new Point(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight));
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
this.addChild(map);
function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
map.setCenter(new LatLng(45.436319770227,12.33638048172), 13, MapType.SATELLITE_MAP_TYPE);

Accordion navigation pane for mobile apps

Hey,
       Is there a way to create an accordion pane in a android mobile app using Flash Builder? I know you could do it flash web pages. But, for mobile app, I am not sure. I apologize if this is a stupid or redundant question.
Any direction is greatly appreciated.

I was thinking about this, for no reason other than I was meant to be doing something else.
My initial idea was that you could probably achieve something that would give you reasonable flexibility in an accordion like control by creating a custom item renderer for an s:List. EG: Override public function set selected(b:Boolean):void; in the item renderer to add the display clip when selected and remove it when deselected. You could then supply your item elements as an IList with an Array of IVisualElement as its source. I knocked up a quick test and bar resizing the renderer (which I would need to think about a bit) it worked pretty effectively.
Then, although it is a bit less elegant, it occurred to me you could use a simple s:VGroup swapping the relevant child elements in and out of the display list based on clicks on the label buttons.

Numerous problems with the Adobe AIR runtime for Android

I created a app on the platform Adobe AIR for Android, which requires for AIR. The app is very popular in the Android Market, but many users complain of problems with the installation of Adobe Air runtime.
For example these phones users: LGE LG-P698, LG Pecan, HTC Wildfire. But judging by the fact that users have access to the installation of Air, their phones are compatible with it.
Tell me how do I solve the problem?
In addition, I have a few questions:
1. Decides whether the problem of export application with embedded AIR runtime?
2. I build my apps with the help of ADT. How in this case to make embeding AIR runtime?
3. Is it possible to prompt the user to download and install older versions of AIR? Where to find its?
I hope to help, because the problem is global.

Hi Astraport,
I think you should embed the air runtime in your application,
Some time ago I've written a step by step guide, have a look at this post:

Joining tables for Mobile apps

can i access multiple table(like normal join) from one CallResponder's token for my mobile apps(flex 4.6)..if we can ,then how can we do this..i think, there is some solution,but i'm not aware of it.. please give me a short demo or link..how can you join table,by data binding.. thanks..

+1 for this. it's taking a while to lad on my 2 year old ipad mini, so this would probably help. though in my case, it's going to be an iOS install that needs to ho on a diet.i haven't worked out if it's the player part of the spp that's swelling or additional social aspects of the app that sre growing in size unecessarily.all things said, a music player shouldn't really need to be 75mb+.the android install on my htc m8s is about 13mb, by comparision, less than 2 thirds of the install size.

How to create and use Data Vault with HTML/JavaScript (SAPUI5) for Mobile Apps?

Hello,
I am creating a demo Enterprise Mobile App, for cross platform and I want to use the Data Vault.
I am not able to figure out how to implement the Data Vault with HTML/JavaScript i.e. SAPUI5 for cross platform mobile apps I have a tutorial, but it is for Android based apps. Where as I want it for iOS as well. I guess, in this case, implementing the Data Vault using SAPUI5 over HTML and JavaScript would be better.
If anyone has any links or sample code to implement Data vault in HTML/JavaScript (SAPUI5) or specific for iOS apps, it would be great.
Thank you.

Hi,
This is the "SAP Mobile Documents" community, so this seems to be the wrong place for asking your question related to Data Vault / SAPUI5.
Maybe you should post your question here: http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/front-end.

AIR runtime for PowerPC MAC

Hi,
I am running PowerPC MAC and I want to install AIR runtime. The latest one is 2.0.2 but in documentation I read that it doesn't support old PowerPC processor and I must install AIR runtime of 1.5 version. But anyway if I go to http://get.adobe.com/air it redirect me to http://get.adobe.com/air/otherversions and there is only 2.0.2 version available.
How can I get old 1.5 version?
Thanks,

Hi thilgen,
thanks for tip but unfortunately it doesn't succeed to instal AIR runtime even from link you offered.
There is message "Starting instal...." but that's all what it did.
I tried it on two different PowerPC G5 machimes with the same OS: MAC OS X 10.4.11 but with the same result
Any other idea what's wrong?
thanx

Does Dreamweaver CS5.5 support in-app purchases for mobile apps?

I am starting to take a look at developing a mobile app for my business and Dreamweaver CS5.5 looks like the platform I am going to use. My question is this: do apps built this way have support for in-app purchases?
Thanks.

If you are asking can you develop it I don't see why not. Just refer to the documentation from the appropriate Marketplace for details on setting up in-app purchasing restrictions and requirements. If you are asking if there is a built-in function to make an easy "in-app purchase button" I would lean towards the No on this answer because I don't believe that is in DW.

Question About what Azure Services I should be using for mobile app with website.

Hello,
I am wondering what Azure service would be best for my new application. I need to have an SQL database that I can connect to and modify from both a website and a mobile app preferably WP8 and Android. I was not really understanding whether I would need a
mobile service or normal SQL database. Which should I use or am I completely off track?
Thanks,
Matthias

Mobile Services uses SQL Database, nothing special on that SQL Database, its just like any other "normal" SQL Database.
Mobile Services provides "back-end services" that simplifies accessing SQL Database, Notification services, authentication, etc...
Let's assume you don't use Mobile Services, to use SQL Database, you would need your app (both mobile and web) to connect to the database. In practice, you will not want to expose your SQL database directly, so you'd end-up writing some kind of a "facade"
that your app will access instead of directly connecting to the database.
Instead of writing that "facade", Mobile services provides that for you (you still have to write code though, but less than what you need to write if you're rolling your own).
Both your web app and mobile apps can share the same SQL database (pay attention to the mobile service schema).
To help you decide, ask yourself what other features will your mobile app require? Authentication? Notification? etc... are you prepared to write those on your own or use various libraries instead of one?

How to manage source for mobile app build by android studio,Git or team explorer?

Hi,We use TFS 2013 for source control ,now we want to start mobile app using "android studio",
How could control source of that project,How we can have features of "tfs source control" on that type of project such a mobile app that uses "android studio".
I know we can integrate git or using command in team explorer but what is the differences and how to decide each one is better?
thanks
Thanks. Bahar Ghadami Web Developer And Technical expert

Hi Bahar,
As far as I know, you cannot have your code under source contorl of TFS when work on the mobile app that uses "Android studio". You cannot use Android Studio to connect to TFS hence it's unavailable for your requirement.
If your use Ecliplse, you might integrate with Team Explorer Everywhere and connect to your on-premise TFS.
