Android development with Flash Platform

AIR, Android, Flash, Flex, Mobile, Resource, Tips & Tricks, Touch screen 1 Minute

First of all I’d like to say thank you to JUG Padova that give me opportunity to talk about Flash Platform in own Java User Group.
Saturday morning I got a talk about Android development with Flash Platform in a school in Padova.
There were 40/50 people more or less, students, Flash Platform devs and Java devs, so I’m glad about the final result.

I talked about my experience on working with Flash Platform on Android, suggested some tips & tricks to improve own applications made with AIR or web site for Flash Player on Android and finally I reported latest news from Flash on the Beach general session.

Adobe has just released Adobe AIR for Android so from last weekend you can download it and start to develop your own Flash Platform contents for Android devices.

You can download my presentation slides with some samples directly here, for now slides are in Italian but if someone is interesting in an English translation feel free to add a comment here.

I’m an Italian Solutions Architect with 13 years of experience, a Google Developer Expert on Web Technologies and manager of London Javascript community (www.londonjs.uk) I had the chance to work in cutting edge projects for mobile (iOS, Android, Blackberry), desktop, web, TVs, set top boxes and embedded devices. I think the best way to use any programming language is mastering their models, that’s why I spent a lot of time studying and researching on topics like OOP, Functional programming and Reactive programming. With these skills, I’m able to swap easily between different programming languages applying the best practices learnt and driving any team to the success. I’m a natural leader, delivery focus, a problem solver and a game changer, I use my passion on any aspect of my job from the flow definition to the automation processes. I try to cover any detail to improve the company standards, empower the teams and deliver the expected results. In my spare time, I wrote for national and international technical magazines and editors, I'm also a technical reviewer for Packt Publishing, Pragmatic Bookshelf and O'Reilly.

  1. Dear mart,

    I’m a 20 year old flash developer who just started with Android. Altho my application is 99% done, I can’t make it screen independent. I have done everything I should, and looked everywhere but I can’t get the android library in my project. And by that I can’t get the DIP class. The thing I want to do is like

    import android.screen.DIP;

    but that aint possible in my Flashdevelop/Flash CS5 project. Do you have any idea if this is possible, and if so: how?

    I would be really thankful if you could help me.

    Greetz,
    Marc

      2. Hey I have solved the problem I think, this is what I do (in pseude code)

        stage.scaleMode = stagescalemode.noscale;
        stage.align = stagealign.topleft;

        var stageWidth:int = Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
        var DPI:int = Capabilities.screenDPI;

        var androidStageWidth:int = stagewidth / (DPI / 160);

        Greetz,
        Marc

  3. I’m not positive where you are getting your information, but good topic. I must spend a while studying much more or figuring out more. Thanks for excellent information I was searching for this info for my mission.
