Adobe AIR Development

[fizzyPixel]

Hi,

I have been following the "BlackBerry tablet OS SDK for Adobe Air, Getting Started Guide for Windows Developers 0.9.3 Beta.  I have Flash Builder 4.5 installed and the tablet simulator boots correctly, but when I try to test my AIRHelloWorld app on the simulator I get the following error:

[Fatal Error] :1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.

Can anyone offer any help please?

Thanks,

Looks like an XML parsing error.

I'd take a close look at the blackberry-tablet.xml file (or whatever you called it).

Make sure the first few characters start with <?xml version=1.0" etc.

Hi Rufus

Thanks for reply, this is the xml I'm using (blackberry-tablet.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<qnx>
  <initialWindow>
    <systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
    <transparent>true</transparent>
  </initialWindow>
  <publisher>Sample Inc.</publisher>
  <category>core.internet</category>
  <icon>
  	<image>blackberry-tablet-icon.png</image>
  </icon>
</qnx>

 and the full error I get is:

Error occurred while packaging the application:

[Fatal Error] AIRHelloWorld-app.xml:1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.

Error: Content is not allowed in prolog.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated,

Thanks

I dont think you should use the <xml> tag in the blackberry-table.xml file. I think it has to be JUST the <qnx> element.

I just added the icon and splash screen to my app last night and I recall questioning the <xml> tag that FB Burrito placed in there by default when I used the New->Other->Xml right-click menu. I took it out and never had an issue.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your message, I've tried the xml file with and without the <xml> tag, but I still get the error.  Starting to wonder if the problem lies with Burrito itself, not sure what to try next.

This is the example I used, including the video from Renaun.  The file looks right though, except without the beginning <xml> node.

I also ran into an odd problem because I spaced the data out. notice in the example the the values are all in the form of

<node>data</node>?

I had spaced them out to be like

<node>

       Data

</node>

and I got some strange error. I don't recall exactly what it was, but see if you've done that in your file. whitespace isn't supposed to matter in XML, but apparently it does.

Hello,

I am getting the same error when running the blackberry-airpackager:

[Fatal Error] appName.swf:1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.

Error: Content is not allowed in prolog.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Hi netsport

How I got this to work in the end was by downloading an example project that worked PlaybookRCP (http://prsync.com/adobe/working-with-flex-rpc-services-in-actionscript-mobile-projects-109653/) and copying my code into it - not pretty I know, but it did the trick.  The project now creates a bar file which it wasn't doing before.

Hope that helps.

I gave you a kudo for answering your own question because people don't often respond with the solution.

Thanks, I'm sure anyone who has the same problem in the future will appreciate it =)

sorry for digging out an old thread like this, but hey, I know how to use the search function! Success!

for all that are interested and for those running across this error in the future:

I just came across the same error, because I created myself a .bat file with all console commands (changed IDE's, that's why). The reason why you specifically get the error

with the fatal error in the swf, not in the xml, is the order of arguments that airpackager takes. It has to be YourApp-app.xml YourApp.swf blackberry-tablet.xml

Have fun everyone!
