From Illustrator to Windows Phone 7 application

Adobe AIR is quite advanced platform for building mobile applications. We can take our graphic assets, put them into Catalyst project. We can add some logic and interaction in Flash Builder. The only problem is that actual version of AIR does not support Windows Phone 7. Adobe said that engineers are working on that, but there is no official support yet. Maybe soon, who knows?

The question is how to build app for Windows Phone 7 using our graphic assets. Good news. We can reuse all graphic assets from Illustrator, Photoshop or files in FXG format.

The workflow for WP7 is similar to workflow for Adobe AIR, just tools are little bit different.

We can follow these steps:

  • create assets using Photoshop, Illustrator or Catalyst.
  • grab developer tools from create.msdn.com
  • import assets to Expression Blend 4 and design application layout, save the solution
  • open solution in Visual Studio and add some logic
  • run application on device or in emulator

Here is small video which demonstrates this workflow:

Doc? Local LiveDocs

Doc? is quite handy tool for ActionScript developers. You can download API of many Flex libraries.

The primary advantage is that you can browse documentation in off-line mode.

Here is small example how it works:

How to package AIR app for Google Android emulator

It is quite easy to create mobile version of application with Flash Builder Burrito “Preview”. You can run and test this application with Google Android emulator. There are few tricks how to achieve it.

1. Download Flash Builder Burrito and Android SDK.

2. Unpack Android SDK, run SDK manager, download all updates.

3. Add two paths to your PATH system variable: Flex SDK/bin and Android SDK/platform-tools. You will be able to run adt (Flex) and adb (Android) commands.

4. Create Virtual Device in Android SDK Manager. Target platform must be Android 2.2. Android 2.3 does not work with emulator version of AIR. Start this new device.

5. Open shell/command line and go to directory Flex SDK/runtime/air/android/emulator. Install AIR Runtime to Virtual Device by this command:

adb install Runtime.apk

6. Create Mobile project in Flash Builder. Try to run it. It will create some files in bin-debug directory.

7. Open shell/command line and go to this bin-debug directory. Create package for Android emulator:

adt -package -target apk-emulator -storetype pkcs12
-keystore cert.p12 Main.apk Main-app.xml Main.swf

Note: cert.p12 could be create by Flash Builder in “Export release build” step.

8. Install the package to Android emulator:

adb install Main.apk

That’s all :-)

Notes:

  • performance – Air on Android Emulator is quite slow. Real HW is much faster.
  • update application – Add -r to command. It will reinstall package:
adb install -r Main.apk

Astra Flash/Flex komponenty od Yahoo!

Narazil som na zaujímavú sadu komponent od Yahoo pod názvom Astra, ktorú je možné využiť vo Flash/Flex projektoch.

Komponenty sú zverejnené pod BSD licenciou, takže nie je problém v ich zabudovaní do projekty.

Na stránkach Yahoo! Developer Network je tiež možné nájsť Badge Kit, ktorý sa dá použiť na vytvárania inštalačných odznakov pre AIR aplikácie.

Môžete si napríklad objednať školenie ;-)
