You need to use command line ADT to compile. You also need to add -extdir "foldername"to the command line that has your android native code in it.  In addition, you need to modify your XML file to include <extensions>.  I just took the sample at the below link and looked at how they structered theri XMLs etc.  I also got the toasts working. http://www.smallscreendesign.com/2011/09/29/air-native-extensions-rock/ One issue I ran into with AIR3 is that the soft menu key on Android tablets is missing.  Apps I compiled in AIR2.6 SDK such as the sample "Options Menu" in the template show the menu key in Honeycomb.  Same app compiled using AIR3 does not.  Now I have users emailing me that are unable to get into the options of my apps and I have to ugly up the UI with a button.  If you need this feature, please vote below: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2936827 ...

"The only thing I noticed is the Menu button in Android Honeycomb, which is missing in 2.6 (as far as I can tell)" This is still an issue in AIR SDK3....unfortunately.  Now I need to add in a menu button for tablet devices, so disappointed this was not caught in QA. ... View more

Still not fixed in AIR3 ... View more

This was noted and logged for the AIR2.7 SDK but based on below, Adobe cannot replicate although I am not sure they understand the issue.  If you use 2.6, it works, anything above that and it is broken. https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2936827 ... View more

I sat down last night and took some time to try to figure this out.  I was successful in taking my swf and getting a working captive android app.  I was also able to get the native extensions working as well (vibrate on button press).  It adds a lot of extra steps to the process but it is possible.  One of the issues is testing, especially the native extensions.  You have to create the swf and manually package it, then manually get it on your phone and install it (maybe there is an install feature in ADT but I haven't got that far, either way, still not as easy as clicking publish).  It is ok if you want to build a captive app once you get your app finalized but without being able to quickly test the native extensions quickly from within Flash Pros publish, I will likely hold off on using native extensions until flash pro is updated or I really need it. Now some results. Captive app added about 8MB to my apk file size which is pretty consistent with what others have experienced on here as well.  If you push a lot of updates, you may get a lot of angry users depending on data plan.  Now, once you look at your app within Android file manager, it takes up over 25MB of space but approx 200k if you move it to SD (this is Gingerbread size, Froyo can differ in how much can be moved to SD).  This is consistent with the new AIR in the market that is about 8MB file size but expands to 25MB once installed.  This is about 9MB increase over AIR2.7 which weighed in around 16MB (expanded) I believe.  Moving apps to SD will help some of the older phones with the file size but if they have 10 AIR apps, it could add up.  I am debating whether or not I should use the captive feature or not.  Considering I can setup my android manifest to prefer SD card install, it might be worth it.  I also did notice that some of my currently published apps had some strange behaviour with the new AIR3 runtime and I had to update them quickly, yet another reason you may want to use captive apps. Good luck ... View more

It would be nice to have the option for captive runtime since some people don't like the dependency and have no idea what Air is.  They may just uninstall your app thinking it is malicious because it will try to download something else when you launch your app (if they dont have it).  It would be sweeter if Google just bundled it in and updated it in the background like they do the market app.  The captive runtime is 1 aspect but really want to take advantage of native code like 'share' and 'toasts' for example. ...

@monkey500: iOS apps made with Air include the runtime as part of tha app.  Previous to Air 3.0, all android apps had a dependency in that all Android phones needed your app + the Adobe Air app to work.  With 3.0, it is now possible to bundle your app + the air runtime app in a single file or download so the user doesn't have to download the Air runtime to make it work. I wish Adobe would be clear on the tools they make and when you should use one vs. the other.  I am starting to feel like the Flash Pro 5.5 I recently bought is not going to be updated to support these new capabilities (native code as another example).  If it is, they willlikely charge again.  If this is the case, I might as well just learn native development rather than trying to figure out all these other tools.  ...

With the release of Air 3.0, will Flash Pro get the new enhancements such as captive apps for android or native extension support?  I typically develop small apps and Flash Pro has always been good enough but if it will never see some of the latest Air goodness, might impact future decisions.  Has anyone heard of plans to update Flash Pro with new publish options and air 3.0?  Looking everywhere but can't seem to find any good info.  I really hope so, I just bought it in May. ...

I used the same method as the previous post a few above this one.  If you are asking about tablet specific, I simply changed the x,y values (position) of the webview and the height and width (size) according to the larger banner ad.  I can share those values if interested. ... View more

I added leadbolt to a few apps, I will see what happens.  I noticed that with admob, when the air app was blown up to tablet size, the ad only took up a portion of the webview leaving a huge blank space (webview scaled but ad didn't).  When I tried to fit in the admob ad by scaling the webview down for tablets, it would not show at all, seems to need the dimensions of the webview to match but then doesn't scale the ad.  With leadbolt, I was able to modify the webview dimensions and remove the wasted space and ad showed as I wanted.  Leadbolt will be what I use for tablets going forward as well as testing a few other apps.  Anyone interested in seeing it, download it at the below link.  Install it on tablet and phone and compare. https://market.android.com/details?id=air.FootballDoodFree ...

1. Thanks 2. Canada but my apps are global so I may experiement with one of them and this way 3. All my apps are linked to the same ad page as well.  I don't have 100's of them or a high click rate.  To be honest I am making nothing off of ads but have lots of downloads so I need to explore some options around making money off of this.  Agree, that if they are committed, pay more and have lots of ads that this is a great option.  I don't want to invest time in a banned account.  I wish Adobe would partner and make it simpler to do all this.  ...

Couple quick questions?  I am waiting for registration to go through. 1) Are there standard ad sizes?  I noticed the one in your app is quite large but the space I have in my apps are more aligned with the admob size.  Also, how do these look when used on tablet devices?  With the current admob way, the ad only takes up a small amount of the scaled webview component but full webview on the smaller screen resolutions.  If I try to make the size of webview smaller on tablets (relative pizel), it will not display ads.  Wondering if you have any experience there. 2) On your app, I only get ads for the ad provider (leadbolt) to advertize with them.  Do they have enough ads to fill requests?  3) Did you get your admob account suspended because of how you implemented your ads?  My account is working fine (but not generating lots of $) and I contacted admob about suspension regarding this method and the response was: Hello Matthew, Thank you for your inquiry.  While this method may not currently be supported, which means it may not give you the results you are expecting, you would not be at risk of having your account suspended unless your app is found to be malicious. Also, keep in mind as AdMob continues to integrate with the Google platform, you may also consider reviewing the AdSense ToS as standards may be slightly different than the current AdMob standards.
