Adobe AIR Now Available for Android PhonesAdobe AIR Now Available for Android Phones

Adobe Flash Platform - BannerIf you run a desktop Twitter client, you're probably familiar with Adobe AIR, an application framework and runtime environment that allows developers to write an app and have it instantly portable to multiple operating systems. Now, Adobe has announced that AIR is available for Android mobile phones as well, giving app developers another way to code apps that will work in Android.

The news doesn't mean that all of your desktop AIR apps like your favorite Twitter client or RSS feed reader will work instantly on your Android device however. App developers will have to use Adobe's Flash Builder or Flash Professional to develop AIR apps for Android. The list of AIR-enabled apps for Android isn't very long yet, but as more developers sign up to get the AIR developer tools for Android, it's likely the list will grow.

Developers who want to use the AIR platform to build apps for Android will need to have a handset running Android 2.2 "Froyo" or later, and will have the option to port their existing code or build code from scratch using Flash or AIR tools. In either case, developer code will have to be heavily modified to run on mobile devices that have significantly less system resources than a desktop or laptop.

AIR for Android works similarly to AIR for Mac OS and Windows; if you try to install an app that requires the AIR framework you'll be prompted to install it first. In fact, apps that use AIR are already beginning to appear in the Android App Market, and there's a short list over at Adobe's AIR for Android page. Most of the apps so far are simple games, instructional or educational apps, and a few entertainment apps with relatively simple features.

Even so, the fact that AIR exists for Android gives developers another way to build applications for Android without using Google's native Android toolset, and gives developers a way to quickly and easily release versions of their apps for desktop operating systems and for Android in one round, all using tools their developers are likely already familiar with.

Andy Rubin Shows Off Android 3.0 On Prototype Motorola Tablet

Devin Coldewey 8 hours ago Andy Rubin is, as I type this, in the middle of a demo of Android 3.0 (AKA Honeycomb) at Dive Into Mobile. The rest of his talk I’ve got written up elsewhere, but this was too cool to pass up. The software is running on a prototype MOTOPAD that looks really slick, though it was only out for a moment and there are but few pictures at the moment. I’ll be updating this post as more information breaks. First thing he showed off was a new lock screen and then what appeared to be a brand new “desktop” with widgets and buttons in the corners. Different UI aesthetic than earlier versions of Android. He then launched the new, 3D-and-vector-based version of Google Maps that should be coming to your phone in just a couple days. Honeycomb will be out “next year,” which is a pretty vague deadline, but if I remember correctly, we’ve heard Q2 for the Moto tablet. Another improvement he notes is the ability to spli...
