Convert .sb2 to .apk

karatebuilderboy

Do you know if there's a way to change the icon of the app? I tried http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8230810/app-icon-for-android-in-phonegap, but I couldn't get it to work.

EDIT: Nevermind! After downloading the apk, you can open it with WinRar (or 7zip, etc) and change the icon.

Something I've been thinking about through this…

Since an Android screen likely does not have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (like a Scratch project) how would the phone display one of these projects?
Just curious, as I have not yet fully compiled/downloaded a project yet.

I haven't tried on a physical device yet, but in Android Studio, the unused space is filled with black.

Okay, that's what I would expect.

I went to publish my app on the amazon app store, but I got an error. How would I edit the package name of my app?

I remember there being something in PhoneGap about including a certain file in your repo that would set the name of the app along with other qualities… I forget what it was called, but I can't imagine it's hard to find.

I know that many Phonegap apps have config.xml, but I don't know how to make one.

Does anyone know how to create a config.xml?

EDIT: Found it! http://docs.build.phonegap.com/en_US/2.9.0/configuring_basics.md.html

If you're an Android junkie, you can run Phosphorus inside WebView.

The remaining space is black in the index.html file, but can be changed.

I'm assuming that would be in Index.css?

Android Studio. You need to buy a developer licence.

A developer licence for ios? Afterwards, how do I generate the key?

You need Xcode and Mac.

Keep in mind a developer's license for Apple costs, if I'm not mistaken, $100/yr.

But, Mac and Xcode can be emulated on Windows!

Nope, it can be changed in index.html with <body style=“background-color:#XXXXXX”>. (Replace the X's with the hex value of your color of choice)

Isn't that technically illegal?

Assuming you legitimately own a Mac OS, no.

You can't escape the price of the Developer's Account using Windows. I was just saying you don't have to drop $1.5K on a Mac if you already have a Windows and want to post to the App Store.

This worked for me.

1) install adobe air sdk, android sdk, and jave jre
2) create scratch and export to .sb2 (create in turbo mode ideally)
3) convert .sb2 to .swf (auto start and turbo mode if created it in turbo mode)
-http://junebeetle.github.io/converter/online/
4) create .xml file
-looks like this http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff1.html
-but remove icons portion
5) create .p12 certificate using keytool
-cmd at C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_92\bin
-“keytool -genkey -v -keystore scratch.p12 -alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -storetype pkcs12 -keysize 2048 -validity 10000”
-more info: https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/publishing-process-android-amazon-mobile.html
6) create apk
-cmd at C:\Program Files\AIR\bin
-“adt -package -target apk-captive-runtime -storetype pkcs12 -keystore scratch.p12 -storepass 123456 scratch.apk scratch.xml scratch.swf”

Thank you, it really works. But how to change ratio on 16:9 from 4:3?
