I am currently trying to develop an app for Android platforms in FlashDevelop, using Adobe AIR, and for which I would like the minimum target OS to be Android 2.2.
I have no problems running the app on Android 4.0, however when I try to debug the app on Android 2.2 or 2.3 the app crashes.
Do I need to use an earlier AIR version (I am currently using AIR 3.4) to compile my app in order to be able to run on earlier Android versions?
No, not necessary, we have developed a similar configuration app for android, and it works on 2.3 on wards, but for 2.2 or earlier, check the technical specifications

I made this simple app with Apache Cordova. It must reproduce the sound of a sine wave at a certain frequency. The app is installed correctly on the device but does not play anything. It is as if he did not read the part of javascript. The code is correct. I do not know where the problem is.
I use these software versions:
Android 4.1.2
Cordova 8.0
API 27 26 16
This is the code:
Support of android version older than 4.4 has been removed in cordova android platform v7.1 so you should use older version if you want to use your app on smartphones runing android 4.1.2.
That said, on android before 4.4 the webview was not using chrome but the device's browser and I often had surprise with samsung's browser support of javasctipt/html 5.
I have finished for developing mobile application and it works fine in android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich ) but , it doesn't work in version 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or 4.4 (KitKat) make error message
(Unfortunately , (App_Name) has stopped ) and the application not start.
Tools Used :=
IDE => Falsh builder 4.6.
Sdk => Flex4.6.
Update : the application run when release a shared AIR and doesn't work when a captive runtime.
Please help .
What version of Flex and Air are you using. Android 4.4 requires at least Air 4.0. Just to let you know that Google is going to stop using the shared Air runtime from the website. So you will need to use a captive runtime. The reason that it works with the shared Air is because when the application is downloaded it downloads the most recent version of Air from the Google Play store.
If you are only using the supplied Air version from I recommend downloading the downloader from Apache Flex. You can then download the most current version of Air and the most current version of Flex Compiler. This will be required to support the most recent versions of Android OS's
Make sure you have the latest Adobe AIR version installed on your mobile (check in Google Play Store). Updating to version 21.0.0.176 solved this problem in my case (HTC One Mini with Android 4.4) and Adobe Flash SDK 4.6
Thanks.
I want to build Android application. My target devices is tablets (not smartphones). Today exist only 3.* version of android OS, aimed for tablets. Is it normal if i begin build application for tablets in 3.* API? The tablets which will be release with android 4.0 (ice cream sandwich) can to run my application built on 3.0 API? Or me better to wait for 4.0 API if my target devices is tablets?
Generally, in which version of API to develop my app for tablets?
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure that the applications which run on Android 3.* will run on Android 4.* too, because there is no point of making and OS if the old application will not run and all the developers have to build their applications for the next version. So I suggest to build your application for Android 3.* if your target devices are tablets.
Android documentation says that all their SDK releases are forward friendly and that seems to be the case when using an emulator. I have an application that was written in 2.0, recently upgraded to 2.1 and we have some people in the office that have XOOM tablets (3.0) and we cant get it installed.
After some modifications to the manifest (suggested steps from droid dev portal) it still wont install on the XOOM at all.
If you are targeting tablets then i would start with 3.0. If there are features in 3.1 that you can't live without then have fun.
I am using flahsdevelop + android tools
I can create ANDROID 2.3 without any problems.
I have a problem compiling it to Android 2.1.
The AIR swf is compiled with flex 4.5 sdk + air 2.5 sdk.
Are these ok for android 2.1?
If not, which versions of sdk I should be using?
Adobe AIR for Android requires Android 2.2 or higher. More info:

You cannot developer Adobe AIR (or Flash Player web apps) targeting Android 2.1
Can anyone tell me if it is still posible to make applications for android 2.1 eclair in flash cs5 via air. I have spent a lot of time downloading, installing, configuring... all the nessesary software but when i try to install the apk on my android 2.1 device (htc desire wich i can't update to froyo because orange has still not released the update...) i get an error saying something alog the lines of "error_androidskd_outofdate" sorry i can't be more presice but i can't remember the exact words. I belive this is due to the fact that you can no longer put air apk files on android 2.1 despite the fact that i have allready installed the air runtime on the device.
Is it in fact inpossible? Is there any solution?
Flash is only supported in >= 2.2. So no, you can't use flash in 2.1
what you meen flash 10.1??
Because this post says the oposit...
It depends on the air version. Android 2.1 seems to support AIR 2.5. If you use the latest Air 2.6, it only runs on android 2.2. Now, the flash cs5.5 is released, it already integrates the air 2.6, and support android application deploy. Please check following post:
