Intent flashIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
flashIntent.setClassName(“com.htc.flash”,”com.htc.flash.FlashPlayer”);
startActivity(flashIntent);

Mount your SDCard onto your computer. Develop your flash app, move it to the SDCard, and relaunch the app. Voila! You have the FlashPlayer.

Right now, I am not able to figure out how to get the FlashPlayer to remain in portrait mode. It looks like it is getting forced into landscape. Trying to figure it right right now.

I have found that there is an Activity called com.htc.flash.SingleViewActivity that is in the com.htc.flash application that possibly has the emdedded flash player running in full screen mode. Trying to see if I can launch that activity directly using Intent. I still don’t know what the required Intent.Action is and how it takes the URI of the SDCard flash file as its Data argument.

My question is, that if I want to create an app, that I publish on Nokia or Windowsmobile devices with Adobe packager, which solution should I use: filepicker or webview?
Are there any differences, like no webconnection in standalone mode etc.

Nice 2 articles, they are going to be very helpful in the near future : )

For the time being, is it possible to launch the stand alone player installed (reported in Applications as HTC Flash Player) and open a SWF from the SD card?

I’m basically looking for a way to test a Flash app on my Hero.

ta!

Nice bit of code by the way

On the emulator, I’m getting a ‘Method Not Found’ Exception.

On the HTC Hero, I think it is calling the method, but I’m still getting the ‘missing plugin’ icon.

mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);

mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true);

//mWebView.getSettings().setPluginsPath(“?????”);

//Try to Call Set Flash Player Enabled
Boolean[] input={new Boolean(true)};
try{
Class cl=Class.forName(“android.webkit.WebSettings”);
Class[] par=new Class[1];
par[0]=Boolean.TYPE;
Method mthd=cl.getMethod(“setFlashPlayerEnabled”,par);
mthd.invoke(mWebView.getSettings(),input);
//mWebView.loadUrl(“file:///android_asset/index.html”);
mWebView.loadUrl(“http://www.questionwritertracker.com/index.php/quiz/display?id=1634&token=6P3DTKGE”);
}catch(Exception e){
mWebView.loadUrl(“http://www.google.com/”+e.toString());
}

Java’s reflection API doesn’t work since it was closed in 1.1

It’s not enough on its own though. I’m still getting the ‘missing plugin’ box.
