Repackaging Android Viewer App for BlackBerry PlayBook

Hi,
Does anyone have tried this? If yes, then was repackaged Viewer working OK on the PlayBook? What tools/utilitiies were used for repackaging as there are few available:
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/
http://crackberry.com/how-install-android-market-and-other-applications-your-blackberry-pl aybook
"The BlackBerry PlayBook is a tablet like no other. The powerful QNX Real Time Operating System embedded within allows it run an entirely different operating system as another application on top of the standard PlayBook OS. This is how the PlayBook will run repackaged Android applications. For the most part, though, repackaged apps will appear to run just like regular PlayBook applications."
Thank you,
Gennady
Update: This compatibility test determines how compatible your app is with the BlackBerry PlayBook OS:
https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/android/bpaa/apk-compatibility-check
And this is a result for Android Market Installer build with Sprint 19 Viewer Builder:
Your application is not compatible with the BlackBerry® Runtime for Android™ Apps.
Your application uses a feature which is incompatible with the current version of the BlackBerry® Runtime for Android™ Apps. We recommend that you download the BlackBerry® Plug-in for ADT to test your application and remove features as required.
4. Severe incompatibilities found
Impact Type Reason
3 uses-permission com.android.vending.BILLING
So if In-app Billing would be optional checkbox for Android app with the optional use of com.android.vending.BILLING in the code, then I guess it will be possible to repackage Viewer for PlayBook. And yes, Amazon Appsstore Installer is compatible with the BlackBerry Runtime for Android Apps.

OS2 for the Playbook is still in beta at this point, should be released sometime next month.
So your problem is not that you can't find any apps, you just can't find the one(s) you're looking for.

When will single edition apps be available on Android, Amazon Fire, and Blackberry Playbook?

When will single edition apps be available on Android, Amazon Fire, and Blackberry Playbook? This is very important as we were told we would soon be able to publish on all devices and not just using the in-app service. My company is currently using the Professional Edition of Adobe DPS.
Thank you and best wishes,
Alex Rullo

Single-Folio-Apps (created with the Single-Edition or a professional licence) include the folio itself — resulting in a big app size.
Currently, the Android Market has a 50MB limit for .apk-Apps. (http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=113469)
At the Google IO this year they talked about raising this limit up to 4GB, but that is more complicated. the app itself still has 50MB of allowed size, but there are additional data handled by the android market that can be downloaded upon starting the 50MB .apk app from the android market.
that targets games mostly. Adobe has to think about a way to split up viewer and content to make use of this feature.
However, Multi-Folio-Apps are currently possible (only with Pro Edition) on Android. They are relatively small (2-5 MB) and the .folios are comming from the adobe servers (download costs!). You need to create a new role/magazine in the account administration and publish your app as a multi folio app.

Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook?

Hello,
I got a PlayBook and it came with the wrong charger plug. It's for the US that I can't use here in Germany.
Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook instead?
The information on the chargers are similiar but for the output it's a bit different: (They both say 5V but than 1.8 instead of 1.5)
PlayBook charger output: 5V = 1.8A
Android tablet charger output: 5V = 1.5A
Thanks for any feedback.

It'll charge slightly slower, but yes.

Create a custom viewer app for the iPad and iPhone

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60c5dd08612e5ea7d27f-7ff f.html

Okay, so just to clarify, once I build the viewer app (using the DPS App Builder) that I want to use with Apple products I submit it to Apple - without any folios? Then once I gain approval from Apple I will be given the proper information to publish folios to the app? May seem like a dumb question but the reason I ask this is because currently I cannot see any of the folios that I have created in the testing/developer app. - even though they have been uploaded to the folio producer and are listed as public and free. This is the part that is still "fuzzy" to me. When do I submit the viewer app for Apple consideration/approval?

Ebay app for Blackberry

What has happened to the Ebay app for Blackberry. I have a Q5 and have used the Ebay app successfully for the last year. I was able to monitor my Selling Account etc. Today I installed the update (after purchasing a media card for my photos and videos to give enough room as it kept saying the device was full)
Now after installing the update the Ebay app has disappeared and I cannot find it to download again. Any reference says it is not available for my device.
Can anyone help me to get the Ebay app back please.

Just grab the app from Amazon AppStore instead. It's a newer version than what was available in Blackberry World anyway.

BT WiFi app for Blackberry 10

Does anyone know if there are any plans to develop a BT WiFi app for Blackberry 10?

probably same as before until it becomes more popular but windows and blackberry smartpones are only 10% of the market.
however there is no real need to the btwifi app as you can connect to BTWIFI just by scanning with blackberry and when you find a signal then just login. not like the smarttalk app where you actually need the app

Opening apps on Blackberry Playbook

Hi. First time posting as I just bought the Blackberry Playbook. Love it so far.
However, I can't seem to open the apps I have downloaded.
Have I forgotten a step?
I'd appreciate any help in a step by step form. (that way I can tell what I'm doing wrong.)
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found the solution to my problem with opening apps. When i clicked "All," i forgot to scroll down further. The apps were there.
However, I still think that the apps should be accessible from the list "My World" as well. It just seems logical to me that when I bring up a list of MY apps, I should be able to access them from the convenient "My World" location. In any case, I solved the problem. A simple error, but it does point out the need for a simple, straight-forward FAQ list for those of us who are intelligent but not not computer programmers.
Don't tell the manufacturer, but it is satisfying to figure these things out by oneself. [grin]

Requested Apps for Blackberry App World

Heyy so the only downside i have found with my Z10 is that it doesnt have all the popular apps from android and Apple. I would love it if there was anyway to get some more apps on blackberry app world. Personally i would love Despicible Me: Minion Rush such a great game wish i had a phone that could play it.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
But for a very few apps, BlackBerry doesn't actually "pull" apps from the developer community. Rather, the developers must decide the specific BB model numbers / OS level combinations that they will support, and write their app to those that they choose. There are many combinations of that, so most developers don't choose to support all of them.
With BB10, it's even more complicated because it's not a simply evolution from the legacy BBOS. So, app developers must completely start over and re-write their app from scratch to support BB10 devices and OS levels.
In any event, the best place to put pressure for apps you desire is with the actual developer of the apps...for it is they who must make their choice if they will support your platform, and then "push" their app out for it.
Good luck!

Digital Editions for BlackBerry Playbook

Hi,
I tried to download Adobe Digital Editions for my playbook. But I later leaned that it's not compatible with Playbook.
Can somebody please let me know other way to check out books from public digital library for playbook.

There are two possible issues. One is whether the file is in .epub or .pdf format, the other is whether it has DRM (Digital Rights Management) applied to it.
It seems there are Blackberry apps for .epub files.
http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/50823/?lang=en
http://forums.crackberry.com/playbook-apps-games-f243/best-epub-reader-726698/ talks about some. I don't know if the name crackberry means they are for a cracked Blackberry only.
Both these threads talk about NON-DRM .epub files.
There are lots of non-drm .epub files for download: including almost all classics that are out of copyright (try project Gutenberg).
Most bought books and library books have DRM applied.
I haven't seen anything that says you can read DRM books on the Blackberry.
There are hints one might be coming.
http://nerdberry.net/2012/10/23/adobe-drm-for-epub-now-supported-on-blackberry-playbook-ta blet-and-blackberry-10/
http://www.berryreview.com/2012/10/23/devs-adobe-reader-mobile-sdk-for-epub-drm-now-availa ble-for-playbook-blackberry-10/
I would avoid converting to .pdf for reading if at all possible.
pdf format files don't flow to match your screen size and chosen font size, and are a pain for anything apart from their original application in printing.
