Android ANE with Java annotations

[mar_pies]

Hi,

I am encountering a runtime error about missing annotations when running AIR app for Android that uses ANE with JAR that includes Java annotations (it is Retrofit library).

I found this post on StackOverflow about ADT stripping Java annotations. Could anybody from the staff confirm this? Is there a way to avoid this?

I could send a test ANE over, if needed.

Cheers

I'm facing the same issue.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any answers from Adobe on this issue - not even confirmation that they know about it.

Did you find a solution to this or has anyone logged a bug with Adobe? I'm encountering the same issue with an ANE we are currently building for a client.

No, I did not find a solution and I ended up using a different library. I have not created a bug report.

No problems,

If anyone else wants to get this resolved I've logged a bug here: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=4071110

Hi,

Could you please share a sample project so that we can debug this issue?

Here's a set of three projects to demonstrate the issue.  One is the Java code using annotations, one is the Flex code for the ANE, and the third one is the Flex mobile app that uses the ANE.

It's really simple - just debug the Flex mobile app on an android device, hit the button in the app, and watch the messages in Logcat -- you'll only see log messages up to the point where the Retrofit-service is called.

Hello,

We have fixed the crash issue in latest AIR 25 beta available at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html

However, the application is making network calls on the main thread which is resulting in another crash and needs to be fixed. Please give it a try and let us know.

Thanks,
