Question

I'm mainly an AS3 coder and I know Java fair enough to be able to build my own ANE files for Vibration, Toast, dialogs and that simple stuff...

using air native extensions are cool but I'm getting a bit disappointed not being able to create a simple button with it.

I know creating a simple native button is a silly thing to do as it is very easy to create buttons in air directly but I'm using it as an example.

So the question is that is it possible to create .ane for calling native Button in android? at all?

it seems like I can't create any .ane files rather than abstract tools like push notifications or popup like windows like progress bars and dialog boxes.

is it right to say that a simple native button cannot be created with air native extensions?

Was it helpful?

Solution

for those who wondering why a simple button cannot be called with extensions, read http://adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/extending-air.html (scroll down to Limitations) where it says: Extensions cannot directly integrate interactive objects, such as native UI controls, with the display list. (Other items, such as native dialog boxes, may work, depending on the platform.)
