Tab Saving Issue on FF for Android

Greetings,
This is my first time posting here, so I apologize if my posting format is incorrect in any way.
My issue is that ever since the update to FF for Android around the first of the year, my open tabs are no longer being saved. The only way to avoid that occurrence seems to be to switch between apps using task manager - however, if you have to return to the home screen for any reason, the tabs are wiped out when you return to Firefox.
(Just to let you know, I don't use Sync because it screws with my Xmarks account.) Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there,
Welcome to the forums. :) When you return to the home screen, do you see your previous tabs under History, or is it all completely forgotten at that point? Android has a tendency to save memory by removing apps that haven't been used for a while, and sometimes that means Firefox is essentially reset with no tabs open. Normally it should be possible to bring them back from the History menu though.
Cheers,
David

Im missing title (address) bar and the tab "+" button on Firefox Mobile for Android, how do i get them back?

I think I accidentally went into fullscreen and cant figure out how to get out of it on Firefox for Android Tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0)

Hello Sher.
If you're talking about the menu bar, press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

Video playback issues in Air for Android

Hello everybody
I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device. I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
Any advice will be highly appreciated,
Max

GPU issues for Android

Trying out AIR for Android development using Flash CS5.5 targeting my Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Android 3.1. Performance was not great do I tried out GPU mode. Performance went WAY up, but the text fields are all distorted and any object with a filter is also strangely pixelated with no filters. I can figure out a way aroudn the filters issue, but any idea why text would be messed up? I am using embedded fonts if that makes any difference.

I wonder if StageText would help wit this.

AIR for Android video issue

On Android, in an app that I’ve developed successfully for iOS, I’m seeing this problem:
There are 5 videos built-into the app. On Samsung phones (S3 and S4), running Android 4.4.2, at the first attempt to play a video there’s sound but no picture. After returning to the video menu and attempting again, video and sound play normally. If a video is stopped and another one is started, initially a frame of the previous video is displayed (for a fraction of a second), then play resumes normally with the chosen video.
The sound-but-no-video problem does NOT show up on a Nexus 7 running 4.4.3, although the flash-frame problem does.
I’m publishing with AIR SDK 15 packaging both with and without captive runtime to try to isolate the source of the problem. I’m using <contains video> true </contains video> in the descriptor.
This feels like AIR-for-Android buggishness. Any confirmation out there? Similar problems? Workarounds?
I’ve read somewhere that AIR runtime v.3.3 may solve some video problems on Android, but not sure where to find an archived Android version of AIR that old.

Well, as it sometimes happens with me, I have spoken too soon. The answer that I marked as ‘correct’ the other day (Colin, are you there?), seems to be not quite the right answer. At least, it doesn’t solve the video problem that I’m having with some, but not all, Android devices.
After trying Colin’s suggestion – using if (stage.stageVideos.length != 0) to make sure that a stageVideoAvailabilityEvent hasn’t already fired when I try to play my first StageVideo instance – and getting perfect results in 10 consecutive tries on my Samsung S4 and S3 phones, I figured that was IT.
Next day, same devices and same code, it DIDN’T work! I pulled hair, issued profanities, hammered on the table. It didn’t matter—I still got a ‘mis-fire’ on the first play of a video whenever (almost whenever) I opened the app. After the first play everything was good – which is the exact problem that I started with many days ago. When I played Colin’s Sesame Street ‘Let’s Get Ready’ app again – the same first-play-of-video problem shows up there too.
This problem does not show up on Nexus 7 and the Samsung Galaxy 5 Tab. It is a royal p.i.t.a. on Samsung phones, where I need my app to work.
I created a bare-bones app to reproduce the problem, code below. Just a single class to play a single video with no controls. A few parameters (path to the video, and viewport stuff) are passed in from the document Class. I run it 10 times on my S4. It fails 7 times and plays well 3 times. The 'initialize2()' function never fires, proving that the stageVideos array already exists by the the time the 'initialize1()' function is called.
I'm pretty sure that this is not a coding problem (because it works well on some Androids and in iOS), but WHAT is it??

Firefox for Android 29 and Beta 29 loss all tabs after close.

I recently. Upgraded to the new Firefox for android and all of my tabs disappeared which was unexpected, but alright. What is not alright though is that after I fixed the tabs I wanted they disappeared again when I closed the browser. I have it set to restore tabs, but it only does so 1 or 2 times out of 10 and never when I restart my phone. How can I fix this? It's just plain annoying! I never had this issue with 28!

Hi Kelcy R. Lemme
Just tested this on my Galaxy S5 and tabs are restored properly for me if you set: Firefox Menu -> Settings -> Customize -> Tabs to 'Always restore'
Please let us know
1. Your model number and brand of your phone or tablet (e.g. Galaxy S4, HTC One, etc)
2. You Android Operating System Version e.g. kitkat 4.4, jellybean 4.3, etc
3. What add-ons (Firefox Menu -> Tools -> Add-ons) if you any you have installed and if you tried uninstalling those add-ons.
3. What you did, what you expected and what happened

Adobe AIR for Android - GPU Mode - Bitmap Auto-Smoothing Issue

Hi everyone
I'm having a bit of an issue with the AS3 bitmap object. I'm currently developing an 8-bit style pixel game for AIR for Android.
This game is being developed at a very low resolution and is being scaled up to maintain the charm of an old retro game.
One of the methods I'm using is drawing pixels directly to bitmap objects and scaling the object up to create the old look.
When testing on a mobile device, this works beautifully when you set the rendering method to Direct but when you change
the render method to GPU the visuals go all blurry and anti-aliased (it's as if the bitmap is being smoothed out). The mini map
for example is rendered using the setPixel method and then scaled up 9 times. Looks great on my PC but once I export it to my phone
it looks absolutely awful! This is no good as I want to keep the clean, solid pixel look to maintain the the old 8-bit feel and obviously
I'd like to stick to GPU mode due to it's speed.
Like I said, this only happens once you test on a mobile device in GPU mode - it doesn't do it on my main desktop machine or
in Direct mode. I already have the stage quality set to low and I've tried setting the bitmap's smoothing property to false but
it does nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get around this?

How about first blit your image to a small bitmapData, then draw it on a large bitmapData (9X larger)?
Like,
var small_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH, SMALL_HEIGHT, false);
var large_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH * 9, SMALL_HEIGHT * 9, false);
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(large_bmd, PixelSnapping.NEVER, false);
var blitRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 9, 9);
var i:uint, j:uint, blitColor:uint;
small_bmd.draw(SOURCE_IMAGE);
large_bmd.lock();
for(j = 0; j < SMALL_HEIGHT; j++){
     for(i = 0; i < SMALL_WIDTH; i++){
          blitColor = small_bmd.getPixel(i, j);
          blitRect.x = i * 9;
          blitRect.y = j * 9;
          large_bmd.fillRect(blitRect, blitColor);
large_bmd.unlock();
Not sure if the code works or not, but hopefully this helps.

How do I disable the tab with 'Firefox for Android' advertisement ? It is freaking me out

Every time I open the Firefox browser, a new tab opens up with the ad suggesting me to try Firefox for android mobile. This is additional tab along with my regular home tab. My browser version is Firefox funnel cake 22.0 . It is freaking me out as this happens every time I open the browser. Provide me a solution or tell me to switch to a different browser. I mean who is the dumb idiot who suggested this idea ? Really ?? you want the add to stay there and irritate users everytime they open it ?

Try to change your new tab by going to about:config, and in that address bar type in browser.newtab.url, right click it, and then hit modify. There will be a window that pops up that will let you type in the address you want to show up in your new tabs. There also might be a warning when going to about:config, but just accept it if it's there.

AIR for Android App - Video Issue

Hi all,
I've developed a Air for Android application targeted specifically for Samsung N 800.
There is a section in the application that has a list of Thumbnails and the user can click on any thumbnail and Play appropriate video.
When playing the video, there is a Close button and Next / Back buttons available on the screen to handle respective actions.
The issue with the app is that, when the Video is playing, if I hit the Home button available on the Tablet, the app minimises. Now if I maximize the app from the System Tray or reopen the App from the Menu, the video continues to play, but this time the Video overlaps the Close and Next / Back, so the user is not able to close the video what so ever.
The same issue occurs when I access any of the buttons available on the Tablets system bar on the bottom of the screen.
Any help will be much appreciated

I'm not sure if I completely understand you, but if I do, you want to check the Exif info to see how the image is oriented, then rotate it to show it how you want on the screen. Take a look at this post here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/875157 it may help with doing what you need. It's a little tricky and works differently for iOS and Android, but not too hard to figure out. Also, in the future, you may have more luck getting some decent answers by posting in this forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/air/development/mobile?view=discussions

How to rearrange (sort) tabs in Firefox for Android?

On Firefox for Android, is it possible to rearrange or sort open tabs? On Chrome for Android, it is a simple drag and drop process. I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out and, so far, it does not seem possible to me (which I find hard to believe).

HI, Sorry right now, firefox don't have that option.
You can provide your feedback, so it will helpful to add this features to upcoming firefox version

How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
How can I do that?
How can I prevent Firefox for Android from pausing video playback when switching to another tab?
Thank you very much.

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

Issue with Amazon and AIR for Android

It appears that Flash Pro CS5.5 does not create .apks properly for the Amazon Appstore. The airDownloadURL is incorrect according to Amazon and your app will likely be rejected if you try to submit it to them. In the AIR for Android Settings, when you choose "Get AIR runtime from: Amazon Appstore" in the Deployment tab, the link Flash Pro uses for the airDownloadURL property is:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android/com.adobe.air
when it should be this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.adobe.air
As far as I can tell, there is no way to edit this within Flash CS5.5 so Adobe needs to make the change in a future update. The only way I know of around this is to create your .apk manually through the command line using the AIR SDK. It should look something like this:
adt -package -target apk -airDownloadURL http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.adobe.air -storetype pkcs12 -keystore certificate.p12 filename.apk filename-app.xml filename.swf icon36.png icon48.png icon72.png
If you don't have any experience using the AIR SDK then do some searching online. There are a ton of good resources out there.
Good luck!
tomdei

For me works editing of Markets.xml file at:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\en_US\Configuration\Android\Markets.xml"
and replacing of Amazon Appstore key to
<market name="Amazon Appstore" url="http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.adobe.air"/>
That's all!
