Real Time Trader Desktop for Android

I recently blogged about building a Real Time Trader Desktop Application using Flex 4 and LiveCycle Data Services. I posted the source code for the AIR version and the Browser version of the application. The next logical step was to build a Mobile version. I used Flex 4 and the prerelease version of AIR for Android.

Watch the video:

I made some changes to the User Interface to work better on a smaller screen, but for the most part, this version of the application uses the same code as the browser and the desktop versions: same data feed, subscription logic, model, controller, components, etc. This made it amazingly easy to take an existing Flex application and deploy it on Android… Three different deployment targets (Browser, Desktop, Mobile), same programming model, same language, same tools, same code.

    Have you tested the code with the Android emulator?
    I’m running Android SDK r07, FB Burrito, Hero SDK. I import the FXP, build using adt with target apk-emulator, but when I install it via adb, no quotes are posted. Also have you tried with live data? I found binary sockets and XML sockets failed to work for Air for Android (I used the TelnetSocket example from Adobe’s Programming AS3.

    Hi Christophe,

    I am just playing around with Flex Burrito and I like it a lot. What I am missing though is a Growl like component for showing notifications, e.g. when you want to give notifications to the user (e.g. when a dataset is saved etc.).
    I am basically looking for something like this

    but for the new Hero SDK.

    Any ideas where to find that?

    Thanks
    Max

    Hi Christophe,
    I’m working on a bug I’ve found which appears to be in the horizontalAxisRenderers -> AxixRenderer – reproducible when you pull up a history chart and drag right-to-left to the extent of chart data. I think is a null on label but am still working on it. Please let me know if you’ve discovered this already. I’ll comment back again if I find a fix.

    Best

    I believe I sorted it – needed to call stopDragChart() from the moveChart method – within the conditions for tempLeft and tempRight – in HistoryChart.mxml. That remove the event listeners for move and drag which were allowing the chart’s horizontalAxis to be dragged out of range of chart data. Seems to behave correctly now.

    Cheers
