Android ANE for Adobe AIR

Hi dude.. now I let You know how to make your own ANE (Air Native Extension) this is the way for AIR Aplication to get Native properties from the device (Iphone / Android).

Now let see how do we create Native Extension for Android Device. Before we begin please make sure we had the tools:

• Android Studio 
• Java SDK
• Air SDK (for library FlashRuntimeExtensions.jar

Now we can start the "How To"

THE "HOW TO"  ^__^.

• Create a Project in Android Studio.
• Copy file FlashRuntimeExtensions.jar from air_sdk_dir\lib\android (in Air SDK) to lib in the project:

•  make sure the file "build.gradle" compile the library in the dependancy

 

okay now our tools is wraped and zipped zap zip zup dzig!

Next we create "The Class"

"THE CLASS"

there is  3 class we have to create, and that is:

• Class that implements "FREExtension" Interface.
• Class that extends "FREContext" Class.
• And Class that impements "FREFunction" Interface.

okay lets we start from A Class that implements "FREFunction" Interface. in this class we have to implement Procedure or Function

public FREObject call(FREContext freContext, FREObject[] freObjects)

okay lets just call it "function" with FREObject as the return type  FREObject is a Object that cunstructed from primitve object type .

 boolean, double, int and String.

since AIR object is similiar with JSONObject for the complex return we use String that we construct to JSON Object for general purpose, here some JSONString sample:

String json="{\"name\" : \""+User.name+"\",\"user Id No\" : "+User.id+"}";

Result : {"name" : "subhan" , "user Id No" : 12311}

here the full FREFunction Class:

____________________________________________________________________________________________
package com.example.subhan;

import com.adobe.fre.FREContext;
import com.adobe.fre.FREFunction;
import com.adobe.fre.FREObject;
import com.adobe.fre.FREWrongThreadException;

/** * Created by Subhan on 9/6/2016. */public class GetUserInfo  implements FREFunction {
    FREObject freObject=null;
    String json=null;
    @Override    public FREObject call(FREContext freContext, FREObject[] freObjects) {
        try {
             json="{\"name\" : \""+User.name+"\",\"user Id No\" : "+User.id+"}"; 

             freObject = FREObject.newObject(json);
        } catch (FREWrongThreadException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return freObject;
    }

}

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

okay  that it for the FREFunction, next we go to Class that Extends "FREContext" Class

in this class we have to implement getFunction <-- The Function of FREContext.

here some example of the full class:

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

package com.example.subhan;

import com.adobe.fre.FREContext;
import com.adobe.fre.FREFunction;

import com.example.subhan.GetUserInfo;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

/** * Created by Subhan on 9/5/2016. */public class UserInfoContext extends FREContext {

    @Override    public Map<String, FREFunction> getFunctions() {
        GetUserInfo comm = new GetUserInfo(getActivity());
        Map<String, FREFunction> functions = new HashMap<String, FREFunction>();
        functions.put("getUserInfo", new GetUserInfo());
        return functions;
    }

    @Override    public void dispose() {

    }
}

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

 thats all nothing special just that function.put () is one class that implements FREFunction for each method to put in the function with string map that will invoke from ActionScript Library.

now for the last Class that implements "FREExtension" .. there is nothing special in here just implement methods of the interface:

• public void initialize().
• public FREContext createContext(String s).
• public void dispose().

this the full example class:
_________________________________________________________________________________

package com.example.subhan;

import com.adobe.fre.FREContext;
import com.adobe.fre.FREExtension;

/** * Created by Subhan on 9/5/2016. */public class UserInfoExtension implements FREExtension{
    @Override    public void initialize() {

    }

    @Override    public FREContext createContext(String s) {
        return new UserInfoContext();
    }

    @Override    public void dispose() {

    }
}

_________________________________________________________________________________

okay done that all for the class .. hope it will help..

we have to create library for this ANE get work

this is how export jar java library with android
