Animate allows you to publish content for Adobe® AIR™ for Android.
Adobe AIR (also known as Adobe Integrated Runtime) is a cross-platform runtime system developed by Adobe Systems for building desktop applications and mobile applications, programmed using Adobe Animate, ActionScript and optionally Apache Flex.The runtime supports installable applications on Windows, OS X and mobile operating systems including Android, iOS and BlackBerry Tablet OS. Previous to Air 3.0, all android apps had a dependency in that all Android phones needed your app + the Adobe Air app to work. With 3.0, it is now possible to bundle your app + the air runtime app in a single file or download so the user doesn't have to download the Air runtime to make it work.

This article describes configuring the AIR for Android publish settings in Animate. For complete information about developing Adobe AIR™ applications, see Building Adobe AIR Applications.
For information about hardware and software requirements for desktop and mobile AIR applications, see AIR system requirements.
For complete AIR developer documentation see the Adobe AIR Reference.
The following video tutorials describe how to create AIR™ for Android applications in Animate:

(AIR 3.7 only) Packaging applications with only captive runtime (Android)
With AIR 3.7, packaging of AIR applications for Android in any target will embed the AIR runtime. This would help in improving the user-experience as there would be no need to download the AIR runtime separately. A side-effect would however be that there would be an increase in app size of around 9MB.
Animate displays warnings if an AIR for Android application was packaged using the Shared Runtime option.
You can create Adobe AIR for Android documents in Animate using the File > New command. You can also create an ActionScript® 3.0 FLA file and convert it to an AIR for Android file through the Publish Settings dialog box.
To create an AIR for Android file, do one of the following:
Preview or publish an AIR for Androidapplication
You can preview a Animate AIR for Android SWF file as it would appear in the AIR application window. Previewing is useful when you want to see what the visible aspects of the application look like without packaging and installing the application.
If you have not set application settings through the Application & Installer Settings dialog box, Animate enerates a default application descriptor file (swfname-app.xml) for you. Animate creates the file in the same folder where the SWF file is written. If you have set application settings using the Application & Installer Settings dialog box, the application descriptor file reflects those settings.
To publish an AIR for Android file, do one of the following:
![]()
When you Publish an AIR file, Animate creates a SWF file and XML application descriptor file. Then Animate packages copies of both, along with any other files you have added to your application, into an AIR installer file (swfname.apk).
After you’ve finished developing your application, specify the settings for the AIR for Android application descriptor and installer files required to deploy it. Animate creates the descriptor and installer files along with the SWF file when you publish an AIR for Android file.
You specify the settings for these files in the AIR for Android - Application & Installer Settings dialog box. Once you have created an AIR for Android file, this dialog box can be opened from the document Property inspector. You can also access it from the Player menu Settings button in the Animate tab of the Publish Settings dialog box.
TheAIR for Android Application and Installer Settings dialog box isdivided into four tabs: General, Deployment, Icons, and Permissions.
The General tab of the AIR for Android Application andInstaller Settings dialog box contains the following options:
The name and location of the AIR file to create when usingthe Publish command. The output filename extension is APK.
The name used by the AIR application installer to generatethe application filename and the application folder. The name mustcontain only valid characters for filenames or folder names. Defaultsto the name of the SWF file.
Identifies your application with a unique ID. You can changethe default ID if you prefer. Do not use spaces or special charactersin the ID. The only valid characters are 0-9, a-z, A-Z, and . (dot),from 1 to 212 characters in length. Defaults to com.adobe.example.applicationName.
Optional. Specifies a version number for your application.Defaults to 1.0.
Optional. A string to describe the version.
Allows you to select Portrait, Landscape, or Auto orientationfor the application. When Auto is selected along with Auto orientation,the application launches on the device depending on its currentorientation.
Sets the application to run in full screen mode. This settingis deselected by default.
Allows the application to switch from portrait to landscape mode,depending on the current orientation of the device. This settingis deselected by default.
Allows you to specify which method the AIR runtime uses to render graphic content. The options include:
Adobe Air For Android Flash Cs5 Extension Download Windows 7
For a list of processors that do not support Direct mode, see Stage3D unsupported chipsets, drivers | Flash Player 11, AIR 3.
Adobe Flash For Android Tablet
Processor: Allows you to select the processor type of the devices that you are publishing the application for. The supported processor types are ARM and Intel x86. Support for x86 processors is available since the Animate 2014.1 release.
Specifies which additional files and folders to include in your application package. Click the Plus (+) button to add files, and the folder button to add folders. To delete a file or folder from your list, select the file or folder and click the Minus (-) button.
By default, the application descriptor file and the main SWF file are automatically added to the package list. The package list shows these files even if you have not yet published the Adobe AIR FLA file. The package list displays the files and folders in a flat structure. Files in a folder are not listed, and full paths to files are shown but are truncated if necessary.
If you have added any AIR native extension files to the ActionScript library path, those files will appear in this list as well.
Icon files are not included in the list. When Animate packages the files, it copies the icon files to a temporary folder that is relative to the location of the SWF file. Animate deletes the folder after packaging is complete.
The Deployment tab of the AIR for Android Application andInstaller Settings dialog box lets you specify the following settings.
The digital certificate for the application. You can browseto a certificate or create a new one. For information about creatinga digital certificate, see Signingyour application. Note certificates for Android applicationsmust have a validity period set to at least 25 years.
The password for the selected digital certificate.
Specifies which type of package to create.
Specifies how the application should behave on devices that do not already have the AIR runtime installed.
Allows you to specify whether to install the applicationon a currently connected Android device, and whether to immediatelylaunch the application after the installation.
![]()
The Icons tab of the AIR for Android Application And Installer Settings dialog box lets you specify an icon for the Android application. The icon is shown after you install the application and run it in the AIR for Android runtime. You can specify different sizes for the icon for different views in which the icon appears. The icons you choose for Android do not have to strictly adhere to these sizes.
To specify an icon, click an icon size in the Icons tab and then navigate to the file you want to use for that size. The files must be in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format.
If you do not supply an image for a particular icon size, Adobe AIR scales one of the supplied images to create the missing icon image.
The Permissions tab allows you to specify which servicesand data the application has access to on the device.
The Languages pane alllows you to select the languages that you want your application to be associated with in the application store or marketplace. By selecting a language, you enable users of the Android operating system in that language to download your application. Note that these language settings do not do anything else to localize your application user interface.
If no languages are selected, the application is published with all languages supported. This prevents you from needing to select every language. The languages listed are those supported by Adobe AIR. Android may support additional languages.
Note:
Air for android supports three new languages:
