I need to change version of air package from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0, without having it's source codes.
I've tried to extract .air package with winRar, and changing the META-INF\AIR\application.xml file, then after archiving it back to .air package, install it, but it gives me an error - "package cannot be install, try to get new file".
Any ideas how to change information in .air file? OR how to make auto update to older version of application?
Every AIR application requires an application descriptor file. The application descriptor file is an XML document that defines the basic properties of the application.
Open your -app.xml in your adobe air application project and change value in version tag
<versionNumber>0.0.0</versionNumber>

I am developing a Windows Runtime Component with C++/WinRT.
I want to know if it is possible to add version information for the component?
For example, if we want to add version information to legacy dll file, we just add a .rc file into the project and the dll file will contain the version information.
How should I do this for a Windows Runtime Component?
If it is possible to add version information for the component
You can Right-Click the component project -> Add -> Resource, then you can add Verion information in your project. After building it, you can see the version information in the dll's property in File Explorer.
In addition, each type in a windows runtime file can be associated with a version. You can check the version attribute.
Note that, this is not the same as the DLL version information you see in File Explorer. The winmd files are not DLLs, so you can not do the same to add this kind of info to winmd file.
When I try to build my HTML5 project i get the error message saying "Build Action is not support in this configuration.". I am trying to get a .war file of my project.
You need to use either Java Web or JavaEE project type to get war file, not HTML5
I'm trying to use the sqlite-winrt library at https://sqlwinrt.codeplex.com (cf. http://blogs.windows.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2013/05/30/sqlite-winrt-wrapper-for-windows-phone.aspx) because I need to access an SQLite database via SQL commands in a WinRT 8.1 and a WP8 app and this library seems the only available option.
Anyway, there is no binary release and if I try compiling the source I get several link errors for unresolved externals against the SQLite DLL. I posted an issue at codeplex but got no reply yet, so I was wondering if anyone had already managed to successfully compile this lib and how (or if you know of any viable alternative for RT8.1 and WP8). Here is what I did:
downloaded the latest source from the site.
downloaded and installed 2 VSIX from http://www.sqlite.org/download.html: sqlite-winrt81-3080002.vsix for RT 8.1 and sqlite-wp80-winrt-3080100.vsix for WP.
executed the powershell scripts in each subfolder of the source code solution, which are required to update the projects with newer releases of the SQLite for WinRT extension. The current versions of the scripts refer to SQLite for WinRT 8.1 (prerelease) which is the same I downloaded above.
opened the VS2013 solution and removed the RT project (I just need RT8.1 and WP, this was for WinRT 8.0).
5) built the solution, which failed with link errors.
If I see the RT8.1 project properties, I can confirm the reference to SQLite is under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1\ExtensionSDKs\SQLite.WinRT81\3.8.0.2.
Did anyone manage to use this lib? Thanks!
I also once had that problem. I fix it by editing the project file manually. At that time, the powershell script updating the wrong path. That's why I always failed when compiling my project. After I edit the project file using external text editor (I use sublime text), the projects are linked correctly.
You can try DatabasesCx. It is another SQLite Wrapper using Windows Runtime Component technology. It is freeware distributed as precompiled binary. You can find the details at http://www.almanacsoft.com/databasescx
Using Flash Builder 4.6, I exported an Adobe Air file from my mobile project.
I'm trying to get it packaged into an EXE (that would include the Adobe Air Runtime)
The project was compiled with Air 3.1. I looked online and there are some ADT commands that people recommend using but the problem is that the command throws errors in Air 3.1
If i use air 3.0 ADT:
AIR file at [app path]/app.air could not be converted.
The error was ""
If I use air 3.1 or air 3.2 sdk
SDK is missing file [my path to air]\lib\nai\bin\naip.exe
I'm running
java -jar [path to air]\lib\adt.jar" -package -target native app.dmg app.air
I've also tried
java -jar [path to air]\lib\adt.jar" -package -target native app.exe app.air
I've also looked into projects like this one: http://bishoponvsto.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/adobe-air-2beta-2-to-exe-packaging-air-app-in-windows-executable/ , but it is for Air 2.0.
Any ideas? Apparently there is an integrated Flash Builder 4.6 tool, but for some reason the option under export release doesn't exist for mobile projects - strange...
Why do you want to do this? Air files -- when exported for a specific platform -- are executables.
If you are looking for an "installer" that will create directories, run the Air installation, and move auxiliary files to specific locations (docs, icons, etc.), then try Inno Setup.
EDIT:
The code you provided works for me to create a Windows EXE. But it seems a bit unecessary . . . why not just export the EXE file from Flash Builder ("Export Release Build" button in the top toolbar)? If you can't or won't, then here are some suggestions:
I am using Java version 1.6.0_29. Make sure your Java is not only up to date, but that you are actually calling the correct version (java -version).
Check the JAR directory text carefully .
Check that you are actually calling to the right Air version.
Make sure that the quotation marks are on both sides of the JAR path.
You should be able to do a "Export Release Build" (though I am using FB 4.5). Instead of selecting "Export as: Signed packages for each target platform", select "Export as: Signed AIR packages for installation on the desktop". (You may have to create a certificate, but you can create one through this export feature, too.)
(If you happen to be able to use the Flash IDE, the exported Air file has to support both "Desktop" and "Extended Desktop".)
Hopefully, this will allow you to both produce an Air program that can be converted to EXE, and actually convert it using the command line.
I know this question is a little old, but a co-worker just ran into the same error message using the command line tools and FlashDevelop. It turns out that he was accidentally packaging some source files into the .air package, an extra copy of the app descriptor and one of the swc's was getting packaged in the .air file. I removed those and repackaged the .air file, then used this command:
adt.bat -package -target bundle kiosk kiosk.air
This successfully created a captive runtime exe. Of course there's no need to create a .air file first, you can package right to native or captive runtime, but since my co-worker was creating .air files I did it that way too just to be sure it would work.
I have downloaded the javafx 2 samples and want to run in from its HMTL. For example there is one javafx application called BrickBreaker. For the specific sample the following files exist : BrickBreaker.jar, BrickBreaker.jnlp and BrickBreaker.html
When double clicking on jar or jnlp the application runs as expected but when i click on the html the application does not run. Instead i get the message "View the conectes of the page. Please install javaFX"
Why is that happening ? ( i have the javafx installed as the application runs when choosing the jar and jnlp files). My guess is that the html should be called from within the context of a webserver meaning that i should deploy my application first to a server and call the url from my explorer. For example if using glassfish i should call the url http://localhost:8080/Brickbraker
The problem is that i don't know how to deploy the javafx application in the server.
i tried to copy paste all the above three files in the autodeploy folder but it didnt worked...
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: some more info - I have installed JDK 7 and JavaFX SDK 2.0.2
No, JavaFX is client technology, you don't need Glassfish to run it. JavaFX should run in browser the same way as Java plugins do.
If you can't run an application directly from html file it means your browser doesn't recognize you have runtime installed.
There can be next reasons for that:
JavaFX runtime is actually not installed (check in Windows Control Panel)
pure java plugin is not installed (you can check on java.com)
javafx runtime is 32bit and you are using 64bit browser (or vice versa)
you are using not supported browser (e.g. Safari)
you are using not supported system (at this moment, January 2012, only Windows supports runtime)
