Developing Blackberry Tablet Applications with Flex 4.5

Developing Blackberry Tablet Applications with Flex 4.5, 9781449305567 (1449305563), O'Reilly, 2011

In 2011, Research in Motion (RIM) introduced an entirely new operating system known as the BlackBerry Tablet OS. The first device using this new operating system was released in May of 2011 and was known as the BlackBerry PlayBook. Through Adobe’s partnership with RIM, this new operating system was built fully integrated with the Adobe AIR runtime; as a result, the performance of Adobe AIR applications running on BlackBerry tablet devices is outstanding, and RIM has built specific libraries accessible to ActionScript for deep integration within the operating system.

This book walks you through the creation of your first Adobe AIR application using the Flex 4.5 framework and provides examples of how to interact with the device’s components. These include the GPS unit, camera, gallery, accelerometer, multi-touch display, and the StageWebView, Operating System interactions, native components, and more.

Ready to put your ActionScript 3 skills to work on mobile apps? This hands-on book walks you through the process of creating an Adobe AIR application for Blackberry Tablets from start to finish, using the Flex 4.5 framework. Move quickly from a basic Hello World application to complex interactions with Blackberry APIs, and get complete code examples for working with tablet components—including the accelerometer, GPS unit, camera, file system, and multitouch screen. This is an ideal resource no matter how much Flex experience you have.
