Cant install AIR for Android on HTC Legend

Is Air for android compatible with the HTC Legend?

I have a legend running Android 2.2, but the market will not allow me to install the app. I thought it might be a temporary error so I downloaded an APK from the web, it fails and says cannot install.


The legend plays flash content in 2.2, so i cant see why AIR wouldnt be supported?

Hi Chris,

The HTC Legend has an ARM v6 processor which unfortunately isn't supported by AIR.  Full system requirements can be found here.  I suspect that the version of Flash you have installed was published by HTC, not Adobe.

Hi Chris,

I also have an HTC Legend, and I'm trying to make some tutorials about publishing from Flash Builder to Android.

I've notice this also, and I must say, it's a complete deception that AIR cannot support this phone, and certainly it seems that upgrading to the Android 2.2 was a bad option, since I defenitly was able to make a simple flash game, and some other exeperiments, and got them to work with AIR when this phone had Android 2.1

If it runs on Android 2.1, maybe it was a an upgrade that make AIR incompatible with this device on Android 2.2. Is there any way of running it, maybe forcing to install a AIR version that works.

I was starting to program on Flash Builder, and experimenting on my Legend, but now I stumbled on this.

Thanks,

Leonel

Hi Leonel,

I unfortunately don't know of any way around this at this time.  If you're interested, you might want to add a feature request for ARM 6 based devices (like the HTC Legend) on our ideas.adobe.com site.  Then make sure to pass this around to other Legend users so they can add their votes.

Thanks,

Chris
