AIR 3.7.0.166 Sound Bug Crash APP without error

Report · Apr 12, 2013

Hello guys,

The last Adobe Air Mobile update gaves me a lot of head ake!

Im developing a multimidia APP, and since AIR was updated in my device, no more sounds is playing in the application.

It just crashes withou any error in Debug mode, and restarts. When i call Sound.play media function in any ocasion, it happens.

It seams that there is a REALLY BIG CONFLICT with the new AIR and Sound.play.

My references:

Im developing in Flash Builder 4.6, running Adobe AIR 3.7.0.166

on a Motorola Atrix MB860

with Android 2.2.2

To reproduce the bug just install any AIR APP with music controls, like this: http://coenraets.org/blog/air-for-android-samples/voice-notes-for-android/

APK: http://coenraets.org/android/VoiceNotes/VoiceNotes.apk with the 3.7.0.166 version of AIR, and try to reproduce the sound.

That application was running ok until the update. There is an textflow bug too, witch import only underline <u> and link <a> tag (no more bold <b> and italic <i>) from HTML, but compared to the sound crash this is nothing.

I insist that all this was running OK since the last update (i even run an backup version cause i think i was making any script error).

I´m looking hopelessly the LAST version before that last one so i can continue developing my application. With this error i canot do anything!!!!

If someone can help me where i can find it, id appreciate a lot!

Thanks

I found AIR 3.6 here: http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/air/air3-6_android.apk

Installed, and everything works again!!!

100 kgs went out of my shoulders now... but, i wish Adobe fix that, cause no one will have AIR 3.6.

Hi,

Thank you for your issue report. I tried with LG optimus v2.3.4 but the VoiceNote.apk is working fine runnng with Adobe AIR 3.7.0.166.
If possible, could you please try with some other device with same android version or different and see if it is reproducible for other device as well or it is device specific. This would help us to investigate the problem.

Regards,

Nimit, it is extremely easy to reproduce the issue.

Use an Android phone with Froyo (2.2)

var sound:Sound = new MyEmbeddedSoundClass();

sound.play();

Crash.

Report · Apr 16, 2013

The AIR 3.7 requirements page says that you need Android 2.3 or later. Will crashes under 2.2 be likely to get fixed?

Report · Apr 17, 2013

Hi Colin,

That'll depend on the investigations of the bug, at this moment we can't say anything. But yes, for Android - supported version is 2.3 and above.

i have verified this also, the sound.play() issue crashes my app under 3.7 on the Nook Color. 3.6 works fine, 3.8 crashes as well. we would really love to keep supporting the nook and if this sound issue can be fixed quickly, we can get our app releases out on time

Report · May 28, 2013

Please try out the latest build available at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html, we've fixed the issue, please let us know how it goes.

I verified this sound.play() issue. It crashes my app under the newest AIR SDK 3.8.590。

My phone is Haier i-710, with CPU SC8810. http://www.spreadtrum.com/en/products/basebands/view/sc8810

SC8810 maybe the most popular CPU in TD-SCDMA network at China.

Would please give me some advice?

Yes, you are right. It works fine on some phone with Qualcomm Chipsets.

But my question and report are that it crashed on the phone which I specified, SC8810, Android 2.3.5. I also emphasized that it is one of the most popular chipsets in CMCC (China Mobile Communications Corporation) network.

I think it is a serious compatibility issue, please focus on it. Thanks.

Hi Guys

I have the same issue

Samsung i9003 android 2.2

So I cannot understand

Does Adobe support android lower than 2.3?

Does I need add opengl 2 es requiements to the android manifest?

Tech-specs said that 2.3 is mimum supported android http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tech-specs.html

Android

ARMv7 processor with vector FPU, minimum 550MHz, OpenGL ES 2.0, H.264 and AAC HW decoders
Android™ 2.3 and above
256MB of RAM

But next link http://goo.gl/EikY1

"Note: The runtime requires a minimum SDK version greater than 8. You should ensure that the Manifest includes ."

And android:minSdkVersion="8" is a Android 2.2.x

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html

And what about opengl 2ES?

Is it strong requirement? Do I need to add opengl 2 es request to the android manifest?
