Adobe AIR Development

Jerome,

Would you mind posting a link to the RSS Feed reader sample you referenced? I looked through the forum but can't find it.

thanks, James

Jerome - I went the route of using the command line tools (to avoid Flash Builder) but in my docs the qnx.media.QNXStageWebView package is not documented. How are you getting to it?

Thanks, James

Hi James, how did you get this stuff working?

I tried the HelloWorld Sample. Edited the HelloWorld-App.xml, amxmcl Helloworld.as, then this bb-airpackager...

The Simulator shows me "application loading" then this window closes again and nothing happens, nothing installed.

Thx

David

check the content of a bar file (unzip it), does it look reasonable?

David,

There is a very useful post on this here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Tablet-OS-SDK-for-Adobe-AIR/How-to-compile-the-sample-apps-tha...

See Harry's post with the shell script.

cheers

i tried this already, without any sucess.

Could you send me your modified HelloWorld source?

package
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import qnx.media.QNXStageWebView;
	import spark.primitives.Rect;
	import flash.geom.Rectangle;
	
	public class mine extends Sprite
	{
		public function mine()
		{
			var webView:QNXStageWebView = new QNXStageWebView();
			
			var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 60, 1024, 680);
			
			// Set layout
			webView.stage = stage;
			webView.viewPort = rect;
			webView.autoFit = true;
			
			// Functionality		
			webView.enableCookies = true;
			webView.enableJavascript = true;
			webView.enableScrolling = true;
			
			// ...
			getUrl('http://www.google.com'); // Home page preset
			
			// ...
			
			// getUrl method
			function getUrl(url:String):void{
				webView.loadURL(url);
			}
		}
	}
}

There some code for your web start ;-).

(Thanks to JCarty Kudoos).

The Web browser looks great with the flash integration !.

Small question do, as we use a non documented class 

import qnx.media.QNXStageWebView;

( http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/airapi/1.0.0/index.html )

Do we just have to guess our way through the eclipse references in the SDK or can we soon expect the airapi document to be extended with the newer classes.

The other thing I found I can't open the source of any of the classes containted in the qnx packages, though I can open the Adobe Air classes. is this a misconfiguration on my side and/or intended ?

Last thought: How fixed is the Adobe Air and browser implementation, should we keep in mind there are still (minor/major) changes being done to the Web runtime ?

(should I open another thread for this)

For anyone looking for the RSS reader app:

http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/tablet/RSSReader.fxp

Download it and import as a project in Flash Builder.

Don't have Builder? Rename RSSReader.fxp to RSSReader.zip and extract to examine source code.

Epic Jerome, I remember reading it in Twitter and was blown away. Showed it to some friends and they were amazed as well. They don't need to know it was a simple program.

I still need to get the SDK installed (as a student I got Flash Builder 4 free but the SDK says it is missing some folders. )

Hi,

I'm wondering why the rectangle is set larger than the PlayBook resolution.
