Testing apk files on the B & N Nook/Amazon Kindle Fire

Can someone provide some guidance on how to test on the B & N Nook Device and the Amazon Kindle Fire. I am aware that both devices are Android-based and accept the apk files. However, I would like to test on both devices but I am not sure that these devices have the developer debugging options.

Michael - I got this exact same message yesterday from Amazon when I submitted my free DPS Tips app. Amazon approved it previously, but now they rejected it for the same reason. Currently, the Viewer Builder enables in-app purchases for all apps. Either Amazon needs to stop rejecting free viewer apps, or we need to add a setting in Viewer Builder to indicate the viewer is free. Someone from the DPS team is talking to the Amazon reps. I'll let you know what I find out. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Why can't I install the flash player on my Kindle Fire???

I have tried several times to install the flash player on my Kindle Fire but it keeps telling me there is an issue opening the download. How am I able to download it yet am unable to install it. It makes no sense to me why it would be able to download yet not be able to open the installation. Is this a problem that is being fixed? I've tried to "troubleshoot" this issue myself but there is little information on it. If the Kindle Fire is unable to install the Adobe Flash player then there needs to be some changes made either on your companies part or Amazons. There are apps offered on the Kindles that need this flash player in order to operate. If you could back to me with an answer as soon as possible I would greatly aprreciate it. Thank you.

Hi,
Although we continue to provide security and patch releases for Android devices which originally shipped with Adobe Flash Player, new feature development for the Android browser has drawn to a close as we shift our focus to Adobe AIR for mobile applications. For more details on the rationale for our decision I refer you to the following article.
http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html
The following article describes how to manually install the Adobe Flash Player manually on your Android device.

Another alternative is to install the SkyFire browser, which appears to support Flash Video.

HT1414 what to pick? ipod or ipad? i am also tempted by the amazon kindle fire hd.

Hey, I am very confused. For a present, my relatives asked me to pick whatver i want, and i really want an apple device of my own. What do i pick? i really dont need a phone, i alredy have a samsung galaxy.

It all depends upon what you want to use it for. The Fire is only good if you are really an Amazon shopper.

Signed apk file shows only header when run - the rest of the screen is blank

Hi
I have
built a folio for Android app.
published the folio
Used DPS app builder to build the app
used terminal to build the keystone
Use the DPS Tool to sign the app
I transferred the apk file to the Android device and installed it - it installs fine
When the app opens all that can be seen is the icon of the app in the top left corner of the screen and a menu tool, top right corner for Settings and About
The screen where the app should be showing is completely black.
The DPS App builder screen still shows that the app is unsigned, as shown below.
The other thing that is weird, I think, is that the apk file created is 3.6 megs large, while the files in the folio are quite large and on the iPad the app is 500 megs.
I guess I have three questions:
1. What am I missing that the screen comes up black on the tablet?
2. Why does the DPS app builder show that the app is still unsigned.
3. Shouldn't my apk file size match the size of the folio?
Thanks for your help
Deb

You need to:
1) Publish the folio as free
2) Put the app in the store as a paid app
Then people have to pay to download the app, but once they have it they can download the folio at no charge.
I suggest reading this blog entry from Bob Levine that explains the difference between Single Edition and multi-issue applications. On Android and Windows you must create a multi-issue application.

How to obtain an acceptable APK file for Google Play ?

There is the steps of my trying in my Google Play console :
1) With OpenSSL I've made a PEM file :
openssl pkcs12 -in certificatCreeSurFBuilder.p12 -out certificatCreeSurFBuilder.pem -nodes
With Notepad I've update the content of the PEM file : I've add the key provided between the markups of the "RSA Public Key", the public key from Google which I've divided the text to 64 caracters per row (for 64-base encoded).
So with OpenSSL I've made a PKCS12 file :
openssl pkcs12 -export -in certificatCreeSurFBuilder.pem -inkey certificatCreeSurFBuilder.pem -out certificatPourGooglePlay.p12
2) Finally I've uploaded the PKCS12 file using my console at https://play.google.com/apps/publish, but I've got this error message wich doesn't light me : "Import error. Try to import an other file" !
Moreover, I'd like to know if I would have a best result if I'd buy a certificate provided by a reputed organism, e.g. Verisign or Thatwe ?
NB : I have indicated my personnal datas in "bag attributes" labels named CN and C (CN=myName and C=myCountry), at the first step of primary certificate creation, in the FlashBuilder wizard tool. So is it usefull or is it bad in this case to indicate these datas ?
Thanks for help.

I write about my new tests, I've found this good Google documentation URL : http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html ;-).
I don't know if this method is more valid or even with my first method, but I downloaded the tools and I followed the method to create a keystore, with no success :
I've created a keystore/ pair of keys, it's Ok :
keytool -genkey -v -keystore certificatAutoSigne-2013.keystore -alias certificatAutoSigne-2013 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
But I don't understand where can I add the Google public key to sign my APK file, because the keystore isn't a text file !
Secondly I've error message with this command line :
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore certificatAutoSigne-2013.keystore MyAPKFile
Obviously an APK file already signed can't be re-signed. I don't know how to creat APK file no signed with ADT, do you know ?

Report available for test cases (manual test script files uploaded)?

We upload our test script files to the "Test Case" tab, assign it a status. We are hoping to have a report that would report all test case files and their STATUSES.
In solar_eval, there is a standard SAP report for test case provided. However, the field "Status" for the test case file is not included in this report.
Is there any report available that would give us this status? If not, in which table does this data come from? Is there anyway to build a simple SQVI query to extract the list of test cases and their statuses?
Any help is highly appreciated!

Hi Jo,
It's not entirely clear on whether you are look for 'Status' values of the Test Case document itself OR for 'Status' values of the Test(s) conducted on such Test Case documents.
I believe the following two SOLAR_EVAL reports should resolve either ways:
(a) SOLAR_EVAL -> Project -> Configuration -> Assignments -> Documentation (Programme called is SAPLSPROJECT_SOLAR_DOC_EVAL_IM) , Tick only 'Test Cases' and switch off other tabs
(b) SOLAR_EVAL -> Project -> Test -> Test Plan Status Analysis

Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle ...

Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle fire hd?

The question has been answered but not that you like to hear.
You have been using an iPhone since 2011 with an iCloud ID that is not yours, how do you explain that?
I saw a message that said your phone was lost and erased, and I was asked to activate my iPhone with my Apple ID.
Since you know it was lost but not by you, you have an iPhone that is not legitimate. Your receipt may get you out of trouble with the police but that doesn't make the iPhone yours.
Activation Lock cannot be bypassed and if the your story is true then you should sort it out with Best.

Android Development - When I test a movie, flash is no longer generating an APK file.

The only thing I get is a swf file. I don't really know why Flash CS 5.5 refuses to generate my project's apk file since I've never encountered a problem like this before. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? My player is set to AIR for Android, I have my certificate, I don't get any errors, and debugging on my device via USB works flawlessly. Am I missing something? I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Flash loves to forget the path it should publish to. This has been a newbish thing they have never fixed, ever. Go in your settings and make sure the SWF and the publish location of the APK are in the place you expect every single time you ever start Flash. By that I mean don't look at the path, press the browse button and guide to the correct path regardless what it says every time. Adobe should have fixed this issue forever ago. That wouldn't pass my development testing standards, let alone alpha, beta, RC or gold. It's just a really stupid issue.
Otherwise if you get no errors I see no reason you're not generating an APK.

How can i get also the files in the root directory and how can i for testing add items of IEnumerable FTPListDetail to List string ?

What i get is only the directories and files that in other nodes. But i have also files on the root directory and i never
get them. This is a screenshot of my program after i got the content of my ftp. I'm using treeView to display my ftp content:
You can see two directories from the root but no files on the root it self. And in my ftp server host i have files in the root direcory.
This is the method i'm using to get the directory listing:
public IEnumerable<FTPListDetail> GetDirectoryListing(string rootUri)
var CurrentRemoteDirectory = rootUri;
var result = new StringBuilder();
var request = GetWebRequest(WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails, CurrentRemoteDirectory);
using (var response = request.GetResponse())
using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
string line = reader.ReadLine();
while (line != null)
result.Append(line);
result.Append("\n");
line = reader.ReadLine();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(result.ToString()))
return new List<FTPListDetail>();
result.Remove(result.ToString().LastIndexOf("\n"), 1);
var results = result.ToString().Split('\n');
string regex =
@"^" + //# Start of line
@"(?<dir>[\-ld])" + //# File size
@"(?<permission>[\-rwx]{9})" + //# Whitespace \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<filecode>\d+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<owner>\w+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<group>\w+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<size>\d+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<month>\w{3})" + //# Month (3 letters) \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<day>\d{1,2})" + //# Day (1 or 2 digits) \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<timeyear>[\d:]{4,5})" + //# Time or year \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<filename>(.*))" + //# Filename \n
@"$"; //# End of line
var myresult = new List<FTPListDetail>();
foreach (var parsed in results)
var split = new Regex(regex)
.Match(parsed);
var dir = split.Groups["dir"].ToString();
var permission = split.Groups["permission"].ToString();
var filecode = split.Groups["filecode"].ToString();
var owner = split.Groups["owner"].ToString();
var group = split.Groups["group"].ToString();
var filename = split.Groups["filename"].ToString();
var size = split.Groups["size"].Length;
myresult.Add(new FTPListDetail()
Dir = dir,
Filecode = filecode,
Group = group,
FullPath = CurrentRemoteDirectory + "/" + filename,
Name = filename,
Owner = owner,
Permission = permission,
return myresult;
And then this method to loop over and listing :
private int total_dirs;
private int searched_until_now_dirs;
private int max_percentage;
private TreeNode directories_real_time;
private string SummaryText;
private TreeNode CreateDirectoryNode(string path, string name , int recursive_levl )
var directoryNode = new TreeNode(name);
var directoryListing = GetDirectoryListing(path);
var directories = directoryListing.Where(d => d.IsDirectory);
var files = directoryListing.Where(d => !d.IsDirectory);
total_dirs += directories.Count<FTPListDetail>();
searched_until_now_dirs++;
int percentage = 0;
foreach (var dir in directories)
directoryNode.Nodes.Add(CreateDirectoryNode(dir.FullPath, dir.Name, recursive_levl+1));
if (recursive_levl == 1)
TreeNode temp_tn = (TreeNode)directoryNode.Clone();
this.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker( delegate
UpdateList(temp_tn);
percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
if (percentage > max_percentage)
SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
max_percentage = percentage;
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
if (percentage > max_percentage)
SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
max_percentage = percentage;
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
foreach (var file in files)
TreeNode file_tree_node = new TreeNode(file.Name);
file_tree_node.Tag = "file" ;
directoryNode.Nodes.Add(file_tree_node);
numberOfFiles.Add(file.FullPath);
return directoryNode;
Then updating the treeView:
DateTime last_update;
private void UpdateList(TreeNode tn_rt)
TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - last_update;
if (ts.TotalMilliseconds > 200)
last_update = DateTime.Now;
treeViewMS1.BeginUpdate();
treeViewMS1.Nodes.Clear();
treeViewMS1.Nodes.Add(tn_rt);
ExpandToLevel(treeViewMS1.Nodes, 1);
treeViewMS1.EndUpdate();
And inside a backgroundworker do work how i'm using it:
var root = Convert.ToString(e.Argument);
var dirNode = CreateDirectoryNode(root, "root", 1);
e.Result = dirNode;
And last the FTPListDetail class:
public class FTPListDetail
public bool IsDirectory
get
return !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Dir) && Dir.ToLower().Equals("d");
internal string Dir { get; set; }
public string Permission { get; set; }
public string Filecode { get; set; }
public string Owner { get; set; }
public string Group { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string FullPath { get; set; }
Now the main problem is that when i list the files and directories and display them in the treeView it dosen't get/display
the files in the root directory. Only in the sub nodes.
I will see the files inside hello and stats but i need also to see the files in the root directory.
1. How can i get and list/display the files of the root directory ?
2. For the test i tried to add to a List<string> the items in var files to see if i get the root files at all.
This is what i tried in the CreateDirectoryNode before it i added:
private List<string> testfiles = new List<string>();
Then after var files i did:
testfiles.Add(files.ToList()
But this is wrong. I just wanted to see in testfiles what items i'm getting in var files in the end of the process.
Both var files and directoryListing are IEnumerable<FTPListDetail> type.
The most important is to make the number 1 i mentioned and then to do number 2.

Risa no.
What i mean is this. This is a screenshot of my ftp server at my host(ipage.com).
Now this is a screenshot of my program and you can see that in my program i have only the directories hello stats test but i don't have the files in the root: htaccess.config swp txt 1.txt 2.png....all this files i don't have it on my treeView.
What i want it to be is that on my program on the treeView i will also display the files like in my ftp server.
I see in my program only the directories and the files in the directories but i don't see the files on the root directory/node.
I need it to be like in my ftp server i need to see in my program the htaccess 1.txt 2.png and so on.
So what i wrote in my main question is that in the var files i see this files of the root directory i just don't know to add and display them in my treeView(my treeView is treeViewMS1).
I know i checked in my program in the method CreateDirectoryNode i see in the first iteration of the recursive that var files contain this root files i just dont know how to add and display them in my treeView.
On the next iterations when it does the recursive it's adding the directories hello stats test and the files in this directories but i need it to first add the root files.

Dan - I am having the same exact problem. I'm using the restrict access and user registration and login - when attempting to use the Update Record wizard to allow users to change their password or email address, it doesn't change the record.
