Saving on a mobile device

Can anyone tell me how to save score/level/etc. information for a game on a mobile device? Or point me to any tutorials/examples please?
I'm still unsure how to read/write files in the apk (Android).
Basically, I want to allow the player to save his progress at some point so that they can restore it later.

You may want to try using Flash SharedObjects
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/SharedObject. html
I used this method when saving data to an iPhone and it worked well. It's fairly easy to get started with and it writes in the application specific directory on the phone (or app data on windows).
It retains an 'object' type so you can reference items you store through normal object referece ie. myStorageObject.data.username, myStorageObject.data.score etc, (assuming there is data).

MObile App how is AD password saved on the mobile device

Hi ,
i did not find any documentation. Probably I am missing something.
How is the AD password saved on the device. Is it encrypted ? Is it matched with the device ID ?
Can the AD Account be compromised in a man-in-the-middle attack and the filr services ?

I think I answered my question.
It is governed by iOS. And the password is saved in the keychain database encrypted with the hardware key of the mobile device

Why can't I install iTunes version 10.5 or higher? I've tried everything suggested on this forum, my friend has a mac and she can't either and it seems like the main problem is the apple Mobile device.exe wont install and applesync

Hey anybody,
Neither myself (running on PC windows vista 32 bit) or my friend (on a mac) are able to install versions of iTunes around 10.5 or higher successfully. This leads me to believe the problem isn't necessarily with our computers and there may be something wrong elsewhere. I'm not a computer wiz but I have tried most of the advice on these forums e.g. Uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting temporary files, expanding files and trying individual downloads and more. I can install older versions of iTunes where they use to combine it with QuickTime with no problems however this is no good to me or my friend because only versions 10.5 and up come with support with iPhone 4S and that's what we need. I managed after several attempts to install iTunes 10.52 but without the apple mobile device so therefor the iTunes wouldn't connect to my phone or recognise it, apple sync notifier also has problems and fails to start.
Please can someone help me with this, I have tried everything on the apple troubleshooting pages so please don't link me those. Or please can iTunes and apple do something in an update that corrects this problem because I know many people are having similar issues. I only bought this phone for the music and at the moment I feel cheated because I wouldn't have these problems with any other phone because I'd just be able to drag and drop.

Hi there,
I had the same experience. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, with Windows 7 Home Edition, 32 bit.
I tried to install iTunes 10.5 and it started installing, then, just before the end of the process, came up with the following error message:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Of course, no information on what the program that couldn't be run was! At first I tried the usual stuff, like scanning for viruses etc. but nothing doing. Then I started Googling. In the end, I uninstalled all Apple stuff from my computer. A lot of it I had to do manually, going in to the program files drive and deleting stuff from there, but some of it wouldn't delete as it was saying it was open in Windows Explorer. In the end, I managed to delete the iTunes folders by selecting one of my mp3 tracks saved on the computer and right clicking 'open with'. I then browsed my pc to locate the iTunes folders still outstanding and was able to right click and delete them that way.
Then emptied the recycle bin and did a restart before going online and downloading iTunes 10.5.
Thankfully it worked, but its taken me a good few hours and made me really quite tetchy! I've never had this problem before, so I hope this is going to be a one off.
One thing that doesn't seem to be working is that, despite how many times I tell it that my preference is for the iTunes Media folder to be located on my external hard drive, it keeps putting it back to the C drive! Didn't have that issue with the last version. Grrrrrr. Arrrrgggh.
Hope you manage to get yours sorted - this is affecting a lot of people by the look of things.

Itunes 10.2.2 won't sync my iPhone 4. Missing files & Mobile Device Service Error

I have had my iphone 4 for only a few months now and all of the sudden my home button stopped working. After researching it online, several people stated that the fix was to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it again.
I followed the directions on the Apple Support page when I uninstalled Itunes. It said I needed to go in and uninstall: Itunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. I did all of those following the directions to a T and reinstalled iTunes however it is now saying I have files missing and it's not detecting my iPhone at all. I get an error that says: Mobile Device Service has stopped working
I have tried EVERYTHING including changing the Apple Mobile Device settings in my administrative tools.
Itunes now says that it may not work properly because the files I uninstalled are missing. Why weren't they included in Itunes download when I reinstalled it??
Does anyone have any ideas? Been working on this for 2 days now and It's really starting to tick me off! I just wanted my home button to work again and now everything is jacked up. Grrrrrrr arrrrgggg!
Please HELP!

Looks like I found the fix on my own. For anyone else that has this issue, this is what I did.
1. Uninstalled all iTunes/Apple software
2. Ran a search on my computer (from my start menu) for Itunes and deleted all the files that came up (If you right click on each file that appears, it will tell you where they are saved on your computer)
3. Ran a search on my computer (from my start menu) for Apple and deleted all files that came up (If you right click on each file that appears, it will tell you where they are saved on your computer)
4. Restart
5. I was finding that the issue was with the new version of Itunes (Itunes 10) so I searched for Itunes 9 and downloaded that version instead.
6. Once the download was complete, I let itunes update to the Itunes 10 version and it's now fixed.
Works like a champ now!
I tried doing steps 1-4 and installing Itunes 10 about 5 different times but kept getting the same error. As soon as I dowloaded version 9, it installed with no errors at all.
****Since you deleted all of the files off of your computer, it is importat to right click on your iPhone or iPod when it apears in the itunes library and select the option to have Itunes "Transfer Purchases" before you sync it. That way all your apps and music will transfer from your phone/ipod to your itunes library and they won't be lost.******

"Mobile Device helper has stopped working" after installing most recent

OK. Like a thousand other threads that have been posted over the past week or so on this topic and having tried most of the suggestions, I find myself at a loss.
After most recent update (which I installed on Monday) from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 all **** has broken loose between my *iPhone, iTunes & Outlook*. This all came to light just hours after the install. . . . I noticed that my phone wasn't syncing - at all, it just "hung" there then I went into my contacts in Outlook - gone. . . UGH, EEK, OK, so they're still on my iPhone BUT I can't get to them in Outlook. After loosing most of yesterday and all of today I am at the mercy of someone who might know how to resolve this issue.
_*Steps I have taken :*_
I have un-installed and reinstalled iTunes 5 times, no luck, I've restarted, yada yada yada. I've hidden my Norton's Internet Security, allowed iTunes, etc. *Still no luck*. Take in mind, all was great after months of perfect syncing, etc. no problems whatsoever . . .
*The two messages that I continue to get when I open iTunes and connect my phone:*
1) "Mobile Device helper has stopped working"
2) " Unable to load data-class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later".
The most recent error message under "Problems Reports & Solutions" on my start menu read:

Hi,
I have had the same experience... uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and all Apple components only to now be in a position where I can't sync my iphone at all (before I started trying various solutions I could still sync music... now nothing!) and I continually get the messages "mobile device helper has stopped working" and then "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later".
I even tried reinstalling iTunes 9.0 but somehow I don't have the old library saved - means I lose all the ratings, playlists etc.
Really frustrating and disappointing.

Can I install Adobe Pro on a Windows Mobile device?

I have a .pdf that needs to be filled out and saved in the field using a device running Windows Mobile 6.5 OS. I found Adobe Reader for a pocket PC but this does not allow me to save the form. Is there a solution to be able to edit/save a .pdf for mobile devices?
Thanks for your help,

the adobe product that edits pdfs (and is the gold standard for pdf editting software) is acrobat pro and it does not run on windows mobile.
i know there is other pdf editing software but i don't know if they run on win mobile or not. use google to search.

Please tell me it's possible to download MP3 to your mobile device.

Hello,
I'm simply trying to offer a downloadable podcast (MP3) through our Saba LMS for computer and mobile device.
So far, PC isn't a problem to download, but how can my user download the MP3 using their mobile device? I can only think that it has to be emailed to them, then accessed through their mail app and saved it there. I mean, how do you download anything w/ a phone/tablet? I couldn't if I was using a browser app (Safari, etc.) on my iPhone.
Does anyone ever need to do this? I'm sorry maybe it isn't possible at all to download MP3 from an LMS (or even public URL) to your phone, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. Thank you in advance.

Hmmm, wondering if you choose the right forum. Do you use Captivate, because this is a Captivate forum,

Opening LiveCycle generated pdf on mobile devices

We have created numerous documents in LiveCycle ES3 so that the forms can be filled in and saved as a PDF, and so that some sections of the form can expand to accept large text blocks when needed. The forms work perfectly when opened on a desktop version of Adobe Reader. They don't open at all when users are attempting to view on a mobile device (Android, I Phone, I pad, etc). The devices have the most current version of Adobe Reader installed, but still get an error message.
Is there any way to save the forms so that they can be read from a mobile device with Adobe Reader? If not, are there any third party apps that will open the forms? They don't need to be able to fill in. The mobile users will only be opening the form and reading it.

Forms designed in LiveCycle Designer ES3 are XFA based forms. They cannot be opened on mobile devices.
LiveCycle ES4 introduced Mobile Forms module which can render the existing XFA form as HTML5. More info here : http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/topics/mobile-forms-dev.html

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?
Static XFA uses the PDF markup language for content and form fields, so users can view the documents in Adobe Reader for iOS, but we currently do not properly handle filling, saving, and submitting those forms. I have improving our handling of Static XFA on my roadmap, but cannot offer any specific date yet (sorry, policy plus actual uncertainty). I know that there are some other apps that partially support Static XFA, though I do not know how complete their support is. If you can even open the XFA document in Adobe Reader for iOS, it is likely Static XFA.
Dynamic XFA is effectively a JavaScript application packaged inside a PDF wrapper, which generates layout and form fields via code and requires a significant engine to support this. Support for Dynamic XFA is unfortunately not currently on our roadmap for iOS due to the nature of the technology, and our concern that any implementation we try likely will not pass Apple's restriction against installing something that allows other "apps" to be downloaded and executed from within it. The LiveCycle team is exploring solutions for our enterprise customers wanting to use Dynamic XFA from mobile devices as part of their server offering, but I cannot offer any insight here. To my knowledge, there are no applications that handle Dynamic XFA other than Adobe Reader for the desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Sharing a "Flattened" copy of a fillable PDF from a mobile device - Reader App

Ever since the latest iOS update, our fillable reader extended PDF's are not working properly in the Reader App. I created fillable forms and save as a "reader extended" file. When we open the file on the Reader App, we can fill in the form and sign, but when we go to email the form it attaches the blank form to an email. It does not offer the "Share Original" or "Flatten copy" option before going into the email. We use this feature for mobile devices to sign contracts on site vs. going on a laptop. If I open a normal PDF file, a non fillable form, I can email the original or flattended copy from the reader app but this is not needed on a normal PDF. How can I share the flattened copy of a fillable form from the reader app on the iPhone/iPAD? Is this issue going to be resolved or are there settings I need to change in the PDF file before saving it for reader extended?

Thank you for reporting the issues with Reader Extended PDFs.
"when we go to email the form it attaches the blank form to an email. It does not offer the "Share Original" or "Flatten copy" option before going into the email."
As you mentioned, Reader for iOS version 11.2 does not offer the E-mail Document dialog with the two options for Reader Extended PDFs. We will investigate if this is a new defect that was accidentally introduced in Reader 11.2.
Regarding the other issue, please note that a PDF form that is sent as "Original" does not become a blank form.
The problem is that many non-Adobe PDF viewers, such as Apple Mail (the default email app on iOS) preview feature, Apple iBooks, Apple Preview for Mac OS X (desktop), do not render form fields or comments correctly.
A workaround is to make sure to open an "Original" (non-flatten) PDF document in Adobe Reader. For example, an email recipient (who views your "Original" PDF form in Apple Mail on iOS) can long press (press and hold) the preview of the PDF form and select Open in Adobe Reader.
We will get back to you on the issue with the E-mail Document dialog soon.

Itunes 10.5 mobile device helper has been stopped

Hi guys, I got a problem with my itunes, after it upgraded, the mobile device helper will stopped when itunes is open.
And when I tried to connect the iphone 4s, it stop responds. I have been reinstall itunes for 3 times, and I already installed the safari and quicktime, but it still won't work.
what should I do?

Dynamic PDF's for Mobile Devices

I have been converting my company's forms to dynamic pdf format using ES4 to facilitate completion and submission by our highly dispersed workforce. These forms are unfortunately not accessible on the mobile devices our field employees typically use. Can anyone suggest resources that a layman can use to learn about and utilize ES4's mobile forms and HTML5 capabilities? All the information I have located on the Adobe website appears to be oriented to programmers or developers, and my (small) company does not have the financial resources to engage a consultant for this purpose. Thanks in advance for your insights and suggestions.

Hi,
In short, what you're attempting to do can be very costly if you stick with the Adobe LiveCycle ES solution to render forms on mobile devices (via their mobile forms platform). Also, if you're not familiar with the technology, you'd definitely need to engage a consultant in addition to purchasing the require server-side modules to render your forms in HTML5?
Questions:
1. What mobile devices are being used in the field?
2. Do your forms absolutely need to be made dynamic, or could they be saved as "static" XFA, instead? If you're doing things like adding rows to tables, hiding/revealing subforms, etc. then yes, the forms would need be dynamic. But if your forms do not need to be dynamic and/or you can tweak the design logic so the form is rendered in a static layout, then using the forms on an iPad is possible via the app "PDF Expert". PDF Expert can read/render static XFA files HOWEVER there's no support for javascript in that format. On the Android side, the app "qPDF Notes" provides support for static XFA PDFs.
On the other hand...if users are able to use a Windows PRO based tablet (i.e. something like the Surface Pro 2, or even something less expensive running Windows PRO - not RT), then you could install Adobe Reader or Acrobat and use the dynamic forms, as is, on those tablet...no need for HTML5 rendering.
In either case, the solutions mentioned about would be far less expensive (and less complicated) to trying to using ES4 mobile forms.
Hope this helps!

PDF on mobile devices.

Does the PDF created in LC Designer 9.0, extended through Adobe Reader Extension Server, requires a certain version of reader to work on mobile devices?Some customers were trying the PDF on their mobile device versions of Reader and it wouldn't open.
Thanks

Hi,
As Paul says XFA forms are not supported.
XFA Forms don't work (very well) on iOS devices. The passport form you mentioned is probably a Static PDF Form and the target version is probably set for v7.
Even at that the form does NOT fully work across three apps on iOS:
XFA Form in iOS Safari:
XFA Form in iOS PDF Expert:
XFA Form in iOS Adobe Reader:
In all three cases you can see the form, but either some OR all of the functionality is broken.
If the form was saved as a Dynamic XML Form it would be even worse!!! You probably would not even see the form!!!
Maybe you should check out Adobe FormsCentral, for web-based forms that open and work on mobile devices: https://formscentral.acrobat.com/app.html.

Help make an email signature a callable link on mobile devices

My company currently has an e-mail signature that has our logo, website and phone numbers. This was created in InDesign, and saved as .png to insert as an image in outlook 'signatures'. I know how to make a hyperlink in ID, that can be active in a PDF, and I looked up how to make phone numbers callable the same way, again active in a pdf. BUT, you can't insert an interactive pdf in an e-mail signature. Can I save this as something that can be inserted as an e-mail signature and then clickable and callable from people's mobile devices?? Do I need to use a different Adobe program? Or must it be done within outlook?
Thanks!

Images can't have built-in links. That's all done in the underlying HTML code, or in your terms in Outlook itself. You seriously need to do some reading on basic web stuff.
