It is hard today to get started.


FlashDevelop + Starling + Air 3.2 + Stage3D + Android = Love!

1. Download and install the Android SDK (http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra-android-development-pack)2. Install AIR 3.2 Release Candidate on windows (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/air3-2/)3. Install AIR 3.2 Release Candidate on android device (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/air3-2/)4.

9. Project → Propertiesa. Output (tab)i. Platform → Air Mobileii. Version → 3.2iii. Dimensions → 1280x800 (This affects only the swf version for desktop)iv. Framerate → 60b. Sdk (tab)1. Choose the path where you copied the AIR 3.2 SDKc. Compiler Options1. Additional Compiler Options → -swf-version=13 (-swf-version=15 works too)

10. Change Run.bata. Target → choose your target typeb. Desktop → choose your target resolution

11. Create a certificate for Android using /bat/CreateCertificate.bat and wait a minute12. Download and copy last Starling library (http://gamua.com/starling/) to your project folder13. Write your 3D game / app

Friction


14. In your Android device be sure to check on your USB debugging and allow Unknown sourcesa. Menu → Settings → Applications → Unknown sourcesb. Menu → Settings → Applications → Development → USB debugging

15. Connect your Android to your computer and let the computer install the necessary drivers16. Publish (ctrl + enter)17. If you get a “Fatal error: The application lost the device context!” just put Starling.handleLostContext = true; before you create an instance of Starling.18. Enjoy it!

Sweet!It just

compiles an empty SWF!

Friction


We should go from 18 steps to 3:
