AIR 14 x86 Feedback

Report · Apr 30, 2014

Thanks for the developments on x86, which did indeed improve performance of my 2D projects. However, I have the following issues:

- Projects compiled with "arch x86" are no longer compatible with other devices, so it's not as universal as an Android app needs to be.

- Almost all of my native extensions have been thrown off and no longer work properly if at all.

- 3D seems to have stopped being displayed (using Flare3D at least).

This is my experience on Samsung Tab 3 vs Galaxy S2.

Hi,

- Yes, currently we do not support universal app (with both x86 and ARM support). For now you would need to upload both your x86 and ARM app to Google play store to cater to all your cusotmers. We do intend to provide the support for universal apps in future.

- Your native extensions need to be packaged again, with support for "Android-x86" platform in their extension.xml.

- 3D should work fine. If not, it's a bug. Could you please log this bug at bugbase.adobe.com ?

Thanks,

Daman

How far is the universal support? Will ANEs be universal as well? I as because I wonder if it's worth spending time adding the new platform to the ANEs or is it better to just wait a bit.

The biggest stumbling block for me so far is the extensions. If I didn't make them myself, how can I repackage them for x86? I've managed to locate the "extension.xml" file and made the suggested changes to it, but I'm not sure what else is required...

you need original .jar (which can be extract from .ane i think it should work) ,add x86 platform to "extension.xml" and finally add x86 build command as doc said

i try to add -arch x86 "customize lunch" button via FlashBuilder before "-listen" which is working when debug but when switch to run mode it seem like "-listen" flag is not there so FB throw me and error then i've to change it to before "-storetype" instead which is annoying
i can't debug via AIR14+Starling, not just x86 but all android device, my problem is describe here Bug#3756123 - Android+Starling throw Buffer creation failed. Internal error while createVertexBuffer and there Android + AIR 14 break Starling · Issue #539 · PrimaryFeather/Starling-Framework · GitHub

and because i can't debug so it hard to file issue

Hi katopz,

Bug 3756123 is reproducible at our end with both armv7 and x86 runtime on Samsung Tab 3 but not on Nexus5 or Nexus7 and we are investigating the issue.

I have changed the extension.xml file with xml header <extension xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/14.0"> and packaged ane file again for android with intel x86 but it's not work

Somebody help me !

Have you included Android-x86 as platform in your extension.xml? Also have you packaged required files for Android-x86 platform?

Following is a sample extension.xml for an ANE supporting both Android architectures:

<id>com.adobe.thirdpartyExtension</id>

<nativeLibrary>samplethirdpartyjava.jar</nativeLibrary>

<initializer>com.sample.extensions.ane.SampleThirdPartyExtension</initializer>

<finalizer>com.sample.extensions.ane.SampleThirdPartyExtension</finalizer>

</applicationDeployment>

</platform>

<nativeLibrary>samplethirdpartyjava.jar</nativeLibrary>

<initializer>com.sample.extensions.ane.SampleThirdPartyExtension</initializer>

<finalizer>com.sample.extensions.ane.SampleThirdPartyExtension</finalizer>

</applicationDeployment>

</platform>

</platforms>

</extension>

In packaging command you need to specify contents for Android-x86 platform:

-platform Android-ARM -C platform/Android . -platform Android-x86 -C platform/Android-x86 .
