What happened to this app for Nook? I really liked this app and used it regularly right up until it disappeared

Comment on Run Flex Unit Tests from ANT by hubcin

hey, Thank you for this nice artical ! I’m new to Ant and few days ago I wrote a simple flex unit testCase and testSuite and wanted to run these testCase from my Ant Script. But there is always sth. wrong and cant be built successfully.
When I create a new testCase file in my project,there will be a new folder named FlexUnitTests created in my SRC package with two other files : FlexUnitTestApplication.mxml and FlexUnitTestComplierApplication.mxml.
Then I can directly run those testcase or testsuite files,it works Normally. Then I began to write an Ant script ,I have Complied my main Application successfully but when I Compile FlexUnitTestApplication.mxml it came up with a message about FlexUnitTestRunnerUI can’t be found . I added all those SWC files needed to run flexUnitTest like : flexunitextended.swc , FlexUnitTestRunner_rb.swc etc.
I see when you compile your test ,you added a compile-library pointed to you folder :AntBuildUnitTest, I wanna know what’s in there ? thanks ^ ^

@alex Yes an ANE could do this… or you could just navigateToUrl and get it complete in one line of code. Rather than download and run.

Hi,

…spent two days installing developing software… give it up now

Because AIR is not able to call other apps or apks (android/mobile) – I ask, if an ANE can do this?

I think the main problem all AIR developers have – how to Update app without the market place.
My solution was, to download and save the APK file – then, because there is no way to execute it, call the navigateToURL AS3 function with “file:///storage….”
If I try this in a browser – it will work – but if I call from AIR – it will open a PDF-Reader and will tell me this is not a PDF File… It’s not a problem of standard-open-applications – all my devices doing the same, also after reseting standard-apps.
If it would work, the user will be asked for using the package installer – and he can agree or cancel the operation – so no risk…

Wow – a lot of text Finaly, is there a way with an ANE to call an installer, app or APK – directly or call the browser with the URI: file:///…? May your ANE is not far away…
Maybe it is easy to integrate?
Hope you can help me,
thanks a lot
Alex

Yes, Jon I agree with Stephen I wish you are perfect. I do think that Flex mobile is a great option for cross platform mobile apps, but concerned that it’s just Flex developers who believe that.

@andrew – This was stumping me for a while, I just realized that the FlexUnit has a .gitignore files setup. So for me I was trying to compile my project with Jenkins and the included fluint-1_2.swf wasn’t in the repo.

@Khawar you have the array, now you need to do something with it. You can’t directly “toString” the array as the results are complex objects. You could iterate through the array and find the specific strings you intend to show to your user.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import com.unitedmindset.extensions.ApplicationFinder;
import com.unitedmindset.vos.PackageInfo;

var obj:ApplicationFinder = new ApplicationFinder();

var i:Number;
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , go);
function go(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var myList:Array = new Array(obj.getInstalledApps());

txt.text = String(myList);

}

OUTPUT:
[object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo], object PackageInfo],

how to access the array?
