Synchronizing  the Adobe Air application  with the remote server daily

I am building a desktop application which is built in Adobe
Air using FlexBuilder3. I want my application to connect to remote
server daily at a particular time on a day and check for updates
and download them, irrespective of whether the application window
is active or it is closed.
I know how to acheive this, if the application window is
active(window is open) by setting a Timer function , but the
applcation runs into problems if the window is closed and cannot be
connected to server to check for updates.
Can I make the code work(timer function) even when the window
is closed in the background process?
Please help me out in acheiving this, I will be very
grateful....

Bump. Wondering about this too.

  • Can developers distribute the Adobe AIR installer with their desktop applications?

    Yes. In addition to creating and distributing cross-platform Adobe AIR application installer files, it is possible for developers to write their own custom native installers that install Adobe AIR and the Adobe AIR application.
    In order to do this, developers must first apply for and receive a free http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html.

    I'm going to forward this along to our android team for their review.  In the meantime, could you open a bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com?  Please post back with the URL so that others affected can visit the bug and cast their votes.

  • I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say: You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525

    I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say:
    You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525. I reinstalled Adobe Air. No change. I went to the Adobe webside and they said to repair it with a program. I bought RegCure. Didn't change anything. What to do?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • Question:- How to update the Adobe Air Application Version.?

    Question:- How to update the Adobe Air Application Version.?

    Change the namespace declaration in the application descriptor.
    For example, to update version 1.0 to 1.5, change:
    <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.0." ...
    to:
    <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5"

  • Testing adobe air application with qtp

    Hi,
    We want to test our adobe air applications with quicktest. Where can I find addin for QTP and how do the AIR applcation have to be developed? What have to be done? There is no much info in google about this.
    Thank you in advanced!

    QTP does not currently work with AIR applications.  It will work with Web deployed FLEX applications.
    I have been told by Adobe that whilst they're not sure of an exact date, they do believe that QTP will be supported in AIR with Flex 4.
    You might want to look at some alternatives:

  • Is Adobe AIR compatible with the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF)?

    Yes, OSMF can be used to play back content within an Adobe AIR application.

    Hi Pierre,
    Would you mind adding this as a new bug report over at bugbase.adobe.com?  I went to look to see if there was an existing bug already in place but couldn't find one.  If you can, note this thread url in the bug and post back with the bug URL and I'll follow up internally.
    In Yue's original bug, he was able to narrow this down to memory leaks in the spark component video display.  He ended up working around it by using the mx video display.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Testing adobe air applications with fake apple certificate in iOS simulator running in a hackintosh

    I can compile an Adobe Air application on windows with a fake apple certificate. Can I test this application in iOS Simulator running on a hackintosh? Or is the simulator blocking testing of IPA outside from XCode ie: it's not a standalone simulator for IPA files. Are there any affordable web service for testing IPA with a true emulator or real device? I'm asking this because Flash Builder doesn't provide a true simulator, it lacks essential API functions such as NativeWindow.

    Hello,
    thanksk so far. I can now create an ANE, hopefully it is correct...
    Now, while trying to use it in my mobile application, calling the Constructor of my SWC interface > call initNativeExtension() I get an:
    Type Error #1009 cannot access a property or method of a null object reference
    It seems that my code cannot load the ANE because I cannot instatiate the extension object.
    Can you help me ?

  • Adobe Air application with Oracle??

    Hi there,
    I am a newbee on this forum as well as for developing Adobe
    Air applications. Can any one tell me whether i can use oracle as
    database for adobe air apps or not. What about SQL Server instead
    of SQLite.
    Thanx in advance. Awaiting for your quick & favourable
    reply.
    Regards,
    Harish

    You can use java and servlets to talk to the database. If you
    have your servlet setup, just have it output xml and your flex can
    process the results:
    <mx:HTTPService id="dbService" useProxy="false"
    method="GET" result="processResults" url="{servletURL}"/>
    Then you call something like this in Actionscript:
    private function init():void {
    var s:String = 'args';
    var params:Object = {};
    params[s] = s;
    params["password"] = password;
    params["user"] = user;
    dbService.send(params);
    You can then handle the results in a method:
    private function processResults(event:ResultEvent):void { }
    or access them directly in an object via
    dbService.lastResult.
    Hope that helps. It would take a lot of time to explain it
    more in depth and there are certainly other ways to accomplish
    this.

  • Unable to install an Adobe AIR application with -location to correct path

    Hi
    Im trying to silent install an air app on the command line (Windows).  But the path i use after -location is ignored.
    This is the code im using:
    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR\Versions\1.0\Adobe AIR Application Installer.exe" "-silent" "-location" "C:\Program Files\my_app_name" "C:\Program Files\my_app_name.air"
    What ever i add after -location isnt used and it gets added to the default location.  Has anybody else found this?
    Thanks

    Thanks and see this article, the detail is not what is the command that allows me themassive installation of AIR application.

  • How well does Adobe Air work with the MacBook Pro?

    If I install a program that uses Adobe Air will it affect my MacBook Pro?

    I have several other Macromedia applications - but not Air. But if the other applications are an indication, boot is going to be slow (around a minute); Air's dependence on Flash will guarantee relatively slow performance. As you know, most other applications boot in seconds.
    Your best solution would be to download the free part of the programs to determine if you find the performance acceptable.

  • Can I use the macbook air superdrive with my non server mac mini?

    I recently removed the optical super drive from my early 2009 mac mini to switch to a 2 HD setup.  I have an opportunity to get a macbook air superdrive (external) for a really good deal, but I am unsure whether or not it will work.  The specs say that it will work with a min that has no optical drive, but does it matter if I removed the drive myself instead of buying the server version of the mini?

    Ahhh, you did not say that you don't have one yet. Perhaps you should csll an Apple vendor in your area and ask. Although it is supposed to work with a Mini, I don't know about a Mini from 2009 since the optical drive was not released until the 2010 MBA came out, I believe.

  • Memory Foot Print OF Adobe Air Application

    I have to create adobe air application for peer to peer application which will be run on (gateway)embedded Linux.
    The problem is memory in the device is very low <= 2 mb.
    I wanted know what is the memory foot print of the adobe air application if the code size is 200kb.

    Hi, here is an update to my problem. 
    After enabling legacy CAS policy in my configuration file, the memory is released immediately!
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>
    <runtime>
    <legacyCasPolicy enabled="true" />
    </runtime>
    </configuration>
    I am still hoping to receive feedback about the problem. What is going on? Is this the right solution? Will it work in the future?
    Is it because our project has to run only as a 32-bit process?
    Thanks in advance
