What the hell was the driver thinking?..

Update: seems to have caused such a stir these videos have been published about what these busses are like for chinese kids.. f*ckin disgusting…. look how they are treated…

After getting my mitts on the lynda.com tutorial on Building Android and iOS Apps with Dreamweaver CS5.5, I decided to have a go last friday at knocking one up.

Everything was rather straightforward except for the usual flakiness that can be experienced with DW sometimes, the “easy install” of the Android SDK was not that easy, so a manual install was the way to go, even after updating the demo copy of DW I just downloaded… (the demo copy is not the latest) as bugfix pages suggested from adobe it still came to a manual install, which DW could then use to build the .apk.

Next timewaste ballsup to get around was that even my very nice 4GB RAM i5 64bit laptop at work still seemed to take a little bit too long to start the emulator quick enough for dreamweaver to install the new APK.

So what was then necessary was to start emulator.exe from the command line using an Android Virtual Machine I created from a 2.2 SDK download. Then from the command line again using the platform-tools adb installer get my APK installed… from then on it ran beautifully using the nice JQuery mobile themes.

Next challenge I couldn’t get around today was a suitably signed APK to upload to my publisher account on the market… I’ll have another try at that tomorrow :)

p.s. I did have another hack or two I found along the way to try and get from DW to a functioning android app such as making a change to the build.xml file but in the end don’t think that contributed to this working in the end in a robust manner, hopefully the above could be of help to you in getting this to happen as it’s a nice concept to rolling out mobile applications.

After using Dreamweaver CS3 to CS5 for a longgggg time I had a go at knocking up an android app with a demo copy of Dreamweaver CS5.5 today and I was very disappointed indeed at the interaction between DW and the SDK… a supposed “Easy install”, just does not work.. and even after updating dreamweaver (from the copy I downloaded to demo 10 mins prior) it still did not work like the tutorial outlines… simply bums out on an error that flashes past so fast you have to print screen like bruce lee to catch it…

Turns out after a few bruce lee moves today that the Android emulator does not start up fast enough for dreamweaver… I have a nice looking app in DW that just can’t install to a virtual machine fast enough, although my work laptop is more than powerful enough to do this…

And why is it that I need to have a mac in order to develop iOS5 versions?… massive limitation…. probably self explanatory but needless to say if someone bought the upgrade to do this sort of thing – missing out on the iOS platform would be a massive downer.

Back to Visual Studio 2010, far more sturdy IDE, dreamweaver can be super fast but it can be super flakey at the same time. Year after year since I fixed this bug in CS3 way back in 2007 people came back to my netevolution blog complaining about it happening to them too…
