In my previous post I talked about navigation in a Mobile application, it works pretty straight forward, but every Transition with the pushView method from view to view plays in the same direction: from right to left, for popView and popToFirstView, transitions play from left to right. That’s fine, but in some cases you might want to specify your own direction.

I’m fortunate enough to visit the Adobe MAX this year. After two days of MAX its time to post something here. One of the most exiting things is the AIR on mobile stuff (android for now, more support in the future).

AIR applications that doesn’t need to store data on your computer are extremely rare. That is why I have created a basic application that should help you understand and learn how you can store data in SQLite database. The example is really basic but it should get you an idea on how to do it.

One of the additional controls you get from the AIR runtime is the HTML control. The purpose of this control is very straightforward: show webpages or other HTML content, using it for that single purpose is straightforward and easy, but you can do some more advanced stuff to, for example filling in a form and simulating button clicks from actionscript.

A while ago, Adobe announced that Flash player 10.1 was coming to Google’s mobile OS Android. I was very happy at the moment: finally I could start building some nice mobile apps using Flex and AIR. A couple of weeks later however, Adobe said that they were not going to support “old devices” like my HTC Hero that’s only 6 months old now for performance reasons. So essentially, i’m fucked and need to buy a new phone again if I want to do some mobile development. Even if you just purchased the new HTC Legend…start crying right now, break your piggy bank and return to the store to buy a new phone: it won’t support Flash 10.1 and AIR.

As you probably know already, with AIR you have access to the local file system. The following example shows you how you can list the contents of a directory with AIR in Flex 4. Besides showing filenames, I also want to display the icon associated with the file.

If you know Flex, you’re probably fimiliar with AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) as well. When developing AIR applications, you will get your hands on some additional functionality that can be very useful. One of which is the ability to read / write files from the file system. Combining this functionality with serialization gives you the opportunity to store data without creating databases, SQL statements etc. Check the example.

If you are building a flex Twitter app there are some things you just cannot create this app without.
Especially this function. It’s a twitter search function build with Flex Builder.
Let’s say you want to let your application users search for twitter friends. Well with this function that is possible.
The code for this is actually not big and generated with the connection wizard adobe provides within the Flex Builder.
