Question

i am new developer to work on adobe flex mobile development.I have try for SQLite in a sample application on Employee directory.I have implemented code for it then i have lunched the application in android simulator through eclipse then it has worked fine but when i lunch the same application in android real device then it is showing an error as follows:

       Error occurred while packaging the application:

C:\Documents and Settings\prasad\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\EmployeeDirectory\bin-     debug\EmployeeDirectory-app.xml(219): error 105: application contains an invalid value
C:\Documents and Settings\prasad\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\EmployeeDirectory\bin-debug\EmployeeDirectory-app.xml(219): error 105: application contains an invalid value
C:\Documents and Settings\prasad\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\EmployeeDirectory\bin-debug\EmployeeDirectory-app.xml(246): error 105: application contains an invalid value

so how can i resolve the above issue in android real device through adobe flex mobile development.

Answer 1

You can always look at your XML files in Firefox, or use FlashDevelop to open the XML. Both of these are free resources that allow you to see if there are any errors. I like Firefox because it shows only one error at a time, and it is very clear about the line number. FlashDevelop has a tool that reformats your XML into a well-structured layout (menu item Refactor | Code Formatter).

To help fix your specific problem, though, let's refer to the error messages:

[...]EmployeeDirectory-app.xml(219): error 105: application contains an invalid value
[...]EmployeeDirectory-app.xml(246): error 105: application contains an invalid value

These statements show that you have errors on lines 219 and 246. Looking at the XML file, you can see that you have a "close comment" markup (-->) on each of those lines.

Let's take line 219 first. Reading upwards in the file to find the "start comment" markup, there doesn't seem to be one. So either remove this markup, or else add a "start comment" markup.

Now line 246. At first, this may also seem like an extra "close comment" markup, but it is not. Backtrack to it's "start comment" markup on line 222. You can see that the "start comment" has no space between it and the markup it is trying to comment out. Adding a space fixes this problem.

In general, I like to make my testing comment markup very explicit. To make them easier to find, I usually give a line space above and below both the opening an closing markups. E.g.:

<android1>
[...]
</android1>

<!-- 

<android2>
[...]
</android2>

-->

<android3>
[...]
</android3>

Note that I don't know if you have any errors in the XML content though.
