Android app edition converted from APK?

Hello

I'm normally a native Cascades developer and this Android stuff is new to me, so I have a small question.

If I took an APK for app of my company and converted into a BAR by using an online converter, can I download this version on the supplier portal and release the app? Or y at - it problems with this method?

I guess I'm worried about what the seller information could be included in the converted bar that I'm not aware of.

Thank you.

Hey raffi.

This would not be an acceptable process. There is information inside the APK that contains data printed from the original (APK) signing keys. If you then sign the application reconditioned with your own signature keys, which can raise a red flag. Download for BlackBerry World probably wouldn't go over well.

In addition, if you don't have the original signature keys used for the Android app, you will not be able to do an upgrade of the application in the future.

  • Look and Feel of Runtime Android Apps

    Hello

    I wonder why the look and feel of Android apps only differs from that of the rest of the development for BB10 Playbook & platforms. I read somewhere that RIM wants all their apps to be consistent across all platforms and that is why AIR apps and native applications have the same user interface. For example, the way that is menu. the color and size of the title bar, etc. But the Android Runtime Apps are always the Android UI 2.3.3. Will RIM work on this in the future? Or DURATION always Android apps will have different UI than the Native BB10/Playbook apps? And also they plan support the latest Android OS? Because it's really hard back in 2.3.3 so that I can port my app to BB10/PlayBook.

    Thank you

  • How can I get my iPad simple editing articles in my android app?

    Hello

    I'm struggling Sunrise an android version of my player and running application.

    I have an iPad (1024 x 768) app that works well.

    It is released as a simple editing with my creative cloud account application.

    Now, I wanted to release an Android version.

    That's what I did:

    -J' tried my iPad app with the viewer content android on my device (nexus 7): it scaled down, but it was OK

    -J' bought a professional edition.

    -J' have created a container of app edition multi with the DPS App Builder

    -The DPS App Builder did not accept my Adobe ID, but need an application ID that I created.

    -J' created the apk file and copied on my device (Nexus 7)

    -J' open the application on the device - it was empty.

    -J' shared the folio of my iPad app of my main adobe for the new application ID, ID and then I copied with my application ID in the organizer of folio for a new folio producer and transferred a few items again. But the application on the device remained empty.

    -J' made a whole new folio and imported a new article. But

    My android app remained empty

    What should I do to see folios in my android app?

    Thank you

    Hans

    Looks like you need to publish the folio as Public. Only public published leaflets appear in a custom Viewer application.

  • How to test convert AIR/Android apps?

    I have an Android app built with AIR captive runtime that works very well.
    I am trying to convert and test the BB10 but it crashes at startup (I don't have the exact error provided by the Asian Development Bank, but it's something about the .so dependencies).

    I read on the forum that convert AIR apps with captive runtime will not work on Simulator. Is this true?
    Then what should I do? There is no work around? I certainly don't want to buy a Z10 just to test.

    The only option is to test on a real device. As you have noted these apps not functioning properly on the Simulator...

  • Android app on the Passport, screen flash

    We have an Android application that has been published to the game store (here, but it requires a user name & password) which, when the main activity is displayed, the screen begins to blink. It is specific to 10.3.0 however he showed on a passport & a classic running 10.3.0.1418 but peripheral running 10.2.1 are not affected and are not devices running 10.3.1.

    I followed it down to the continually called onDestroy() method while the activity is created and then killed on several occasions. It doesn't seem to be something strange about how the activity will be started or with the activity itself (it extends from ActionBarActivity).

    startActivity(new Intent(LoginActivity.this, EventListActivity.class));
    

    This happens with the app loaded as an Android .apk and if the app is converted to one. bar.

    The Android build target is 4.3.1.

    It is a very strange problem and I hope someone hear can offer advice.

    See you soon

    In case anyone has the same problem and came here for a solution; the solution is to add

    android:configChanges="locale|orientation|keyboard|screenSize"
    

    in the relevant section of the activity of the AndroidManifest.xml (removal of the options according to the case).

  • How to install an AIR android app without deleting the data generated by the previous version

    I have an android application developed using adobe AIR SDK 16 and Flash CS6. Whenever I have publish/debug the application directly in the connected device. But whenever I publish the application data (images, text files) saved in the repository of application including the sqlite file are deleted. That's why I have to recreate all the data again to test. Is there a way to public/install an apk without losing the data created by the app installed? I tried with changing the version number. And I use the same certificate.

    Colin is correct. When you publish on an Android application directly on a Flash device, it removes the old version and then install a new. You can actually see this happen. If you have the app open with the screen on drawer and to publish the application from Flash, you will see the app disappear from your device and a few seconds later, another appears.

    Another way you could install the app, while keeping the data is just having Flash create the .apk file and install it manually on your device or use the method of Colin put as a beta/alpha on the game store. Be aware that if you are wanting to do your application paid for, you can first make free.

    A manual installation options include the apk of edition and then move to your device while it connected as USB device (Windows) or use the Android app (Mac) File Transfer and you need a file manager on the device application 'open' the app that will trigger the installation prompt.

    What I do, because my apps are for most of the code and are small size of file, use Dropbox. I have all my project files saved with Dropbox, so whenever I publish a new .apk file, I download the new file to my phone from Dropbox and install it from the downloads app and it prompts just update you currently installed.

    All manual installation options will be security-> Sources unknown option checked. I don't remember if it applies to the developer of the app, but apps beta/alpha on the need of a community Google Store + or Google Group created to test and anyone in the community or group can download and test the application. But of course, you can restrict the groups invite only.

  • DPS App generator - problem creating Android app

    Hello.

    I seem to have a problem of creating an Android application of in DPS App generator. I wonder if someone could help see if I am doing something obviously wrong.

    With my app work (which works fine in the Preview on the Viewer application), since InDesign I then...

    1. select my Folio and the menu «Create App»

    2 when the Builder App Launches, I only see the option to create an iPad app. If I logout and back again using the same account, I can see a list of previously created applications. I can select "create new" at the bottom of the screen and go through all the steps correctly (app name, icons and splash screens etc.) and without error.

    3. I then finished creating the application and I'm able to download the .apk on my desk (after selection of the .p12 and the password)

    4. when I load this on my Nexus 7 and run, I get the splash screen and a white screen

    Here's the thing... Although I seem to have created an Android application, I don't know if I have actually , as I have not see any references to the Folio at the start of the version of Android (step 2 above). In addition, the file size seems too small for the included assets. I have created an 'empty' app that includes only the icons, the splash screen and the name (if necessary).

    For the record, the account I log within the App Builder is a DPS Professional Account.

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Tony Mead

    Using the workflow 'Create App"from the popup menu in Indesign is the workflow for a unique editing application integrated. And currently integrated unique edition app is not supported on Android, but because of that when you go through your workflow, you will only see the iPad and not Android app option.

    If you create an Android app, it must be a multi issue about where you post your your dahsboard folio and publish the same Folio to the distribution of Adobe server. And that you specify the ID of title as ID where you published the folio in your application builder when you create your android application.

  • No splash screen for Android app

    Hello, Newbie here.  I just built my first PhoneGap app build IOS/Android and with success running the build process and installed applications on an iPhone 6 (IOS) and Samsung Galaxy S7 (Android).  The apps look and work great, except...  It doesn't seem to be a startup on the Android app screen.  The IOS app works perfectly and shows my screen for about 3 seconds.  The Android app seems to go directly to my main screen, although there seems to be a flash of a white screen for a millisecond.  I searched a bit but can't find anything that seems relevant.  I started with the example phonegap application and modified the files from there.  Here's my config.xml file located at the root of the folder www.  I used the same structure of folders and filenames as the sample application.  I have to do something special to make it work in Android?

  • Change of management devices for Android App

    Hello

    We have created two applications for iOS and Android. Our application is expected to be a Tablet app. In the options of iOS app, there is a drop down menu that says "Supported devices" and it has the ability to choose the tablet or phone or both. But on the Android app, this option does not appear. The app is now online and in the store of GooglePlay and it comes as being available to download for phones and do not work properly, it crashes.

    I know that the DPS should evolve correctly on the screen, but if we want a Tablet only, what should we do? We looked in the androidmanifest.xml inside the package Assembly with instructions .apk suggested using Google play Dev (distribution to specific screens |) Android developers). The file will appear garbled, with weird characters, and it does not open correctly. It is the right way or is there any workaround solution that we could do?

    Thank you

    Hi Cindy,.

    There is no way to limit the Android application for a specific class of device. In fact the developer documentation Android you accessed to actively discouraged from attempting to do.

  • Why is it high Android app version required by the game store number?

    Hello

    We recently rebuilt a viewer v30 v29 Android app. This can happen to try to download that game Google requires that the APK version is higher than 4000000 - is - anyone know why? We took the advice here Digital Publishing Suite help | With version numbers in Web App Builder DPS -our legacy app version number was actually 4. is there a way that this could be 4 million?


    Thank you


    Toby

    You already have an app in the Google play coming from Woodwing? They did some interesting calculations to come with their version code which lead to a very large number used.

    However, there is really no impact. Just put 4000001 for your first submit and then next time around leave the override box off and App Builder will take care of him then.

    There is a setting in iTunes/Windows to update the library to the cloud, it sends recent changes, but how do update you the library on the Android app so it pulls down the updates pending in the cloud? I saw him run updates from time to time, but it seems to do it randomly.

    I noticed most sync of things more in a few minutes, but things like play counts can take about 24 hours to synchronize with devices.

    Also in the music of Apple on Android, when you're in the high level view of playlists you can drag and pull down to refresh.
