Adobe AIR Development

[Innovatology]

For some reason, the BB10 WeatherGuesser sample was built for PowerFlasher FDT, not for Adobe Flash Builder. It uses a rather "exotic" project structure, which makes it difficult to get working in Flash Builder.

Attached to this message is a version that should be a little easier to use with FB 4.6. I've adjusted the package and asset locations and names to match the "best practices" that we are used to.

I won't go into how to configure FB and the SDK, or create a debug token. You can read about that here, here and here.

To use the sample, choose File > Import Flash Builder Project and select the .zip file attached to this post. After import, you'll need to modify the <author> and <authorId> tags in bar-descriptor.xml to match your debug token.

This sample is based on the AIR SDK beta4 version posted here on 2012-11-28.

PS: the sample is in desperate need of some documentation and comments in the source code, if anyone feels like it... ;-)

Thanks for this - I gave up attempting to import the FDT based project - couldn't even work out how to make that into a mobile application :/

Managed to get your zip working in about 2 minutes flat

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I gave up on my attempt at making it work in FB 4.6, and have been wanting to try it out badly.

I might give a go at commenting it.

Cannot get this to work:

FB 4.7 - when importing, says it will be converted to AIR 3.4.

 - Changed app.xml to 3.4

 - set -forceAIRversion 3.1 in Advanced tab

 - inserted my author/authorId

BB10 DevAlpha simulator v 10.0.9.1673 (In FB 4.7 there is a new simulator option: AIR simulator - assuming we do NOT use that)

app launches, crashes after showing default (BB) splash screen: no consol output.

what am I doing wrong?

Have you specified AIR 3.1 on the first line of your WeatherGuesser-app.xml?

[mdd]

For FB 4.7, (as I understand) xmlns must be 3.4

then we use "-forceAIRversion 3.1" in the Advanced tab in Build Packaging.

It runs fine in FB 4.6, but trying to test with latest FB/SDK's...

Also make sure you add the compiler argument -swf-version 14

doh! that did it... Thanks Dustin!

sorry to pester, but...

This says its running in captive mode - is that correct?

If so, does that mean that the app (also built using FB 4.7) that I submitted to the Hack-a-Thon will not be accepted?
