Modern Alchemists ShiVa Libs is a bundle of custom written ShiVa addons. All projects rely on ShiVa 1.9 and UAT 1.2 beta 7. This doesn’t mean it won’t work with older versions, but the docs might refer to code hockups which weren’t present back then.

All code is under LGPL License. If you like our work, tell us! If not, tell us even more! Got a code fix? Tell us… you get the idea

It features:

• MASS: In-App-Purchase for iOS and Android
• MAOF: OpenFeint for iOS and Android
• Mortar (TBA): automating the world!

You can get all the files/code either from the download section or via SVN at  google code: http://code.google.com/p/ma-sh/

The answer why your VM crashes is, that the heap space trying to be allocated is not free in physical memory.

That means: try to decrease the setting for max heap space in the file android-sdk-windows/platform-toolsdx.bat to smaller value. I had to change it to 512M instead of 1024M, meaning:
set defaultMx=-Xmx512M

And tada, off you go!

If you want to be able to just drag and drop your APK file onto a CMD file, and let it be installed on the connected device automatically, use something like this (simply copy this to your *.cmd file):

New:

:: Just some debug output:
echo Attempting to install file: %1
 
:: Enter drive letter:
d:
 
:: Enter path to adb here:
cd D:\android_sdk on 10.17.1.205\platform-tools
 
:: Install file:
adb install -r %1
PAUSE

Old:

:: Just some debug output:
echo Attempting to install file: %1
 
:: Enter drive letter:
d:
 
:: Enter path to adb here:
cd D:\androidsdk\tools
 
:: Install file:
adb install -r %1
PAUSE

PS: Of course one could use set varNAme=__PATH__ instead of the cd-ing, but my path has some spaces and that leads to troubles.

Like shown above, type in ‘telnet‘ and press enter. The result will look like:

Here type in ‘o localhost 5554‘ as shown here:

This will establish a connection to the emulator.
You can see the port number to be entered in the title bar of the emulator window.
If this succeeds, it will open the Android Console:

Here you can use all kinds of commands.
To simulate a call, type ‘gsm call 066712345‘:

The result is an incoming call at the emulator:

To cancel the call, type ‘gsm cancel 066712345‘.
See http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html#telephony for more information about gsm operations.

Use ‘exit‘ to exit the Android Console and ‘quit‘ to quit telnet.
Hope that helps!

And tada – you’re off to go!

In short, using this component, you can combine, what normally is hard to achieve with Flash: animation with “thousands of buildings on the screen at once“.

private const DOUBLE_CLICK_INTERVAL:int = 400;
private var clickIntervalTimer:int;

Somewhere, add your event listener to a normal mouse down event:

%something%.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, OnClick);

And then, in the OnClick, check if it was a double click:

if((getTimer() - clickIntervalTimer) < DOUBLE_CLICK_INTERVAL) 
{
    //A DOUBLE CLICK HAPPENED, DO SOMETHING!
}
 
//Don't forget to update your clickIntervalTimer afterwards:
clickIntervalTimer = getTimer();

Note: the getTimer function can be found in import flash.utils.getTimer;. Everything else should be straight forward!

1. getClass, which I stuff in any kind of object, and it returns me its class.
2. getSuperClass, which I stuff in it’s class name as string, and it returns me the class name of its parent as string.

Note that first returns the class itself, and the second one works with strings. If you need to e.g. let the second one work with classes also, just adapt it like in the first function.

All in all, you need to import these functions:

import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedSuperclassName;

And here are the two functions:

public static function getClass(obj:Object):Class
{
	return Class(getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(obj)));
}

static public function getSuperClass(className:String):String
{
	return getQualifiedSuperclassName(getDefinitionByName(className));
}

Note that getSuperClass only returns its direct parent. If you need to go further up the inheritance tree, you need to call it recursively. Highest it can get is “Object”.

SchemaGenerator.instance.generateSchema();

“dumps all classes and public info to a xml file”.
We’ll, I’ve used it now, and I must admit that was a lie
So here’s how you use it, and what it results in!

First, you need to establish a local connection, and then call generateSchema:

conn = new LocalConnection();
conn.client = this;
conn.allowDomain('*');
try {
	conn.connect("_SchemaConnection");
} catch (error:ArgumentError) {
	trace("Can't connect to _SchemaConnection");
}
 
SchemaGenerator.instance.generateSchema();

SchemaGenerator.instance.generateSchema will then call OnSchemaReceived in your class, so you need to add that. It takes two string arguments: type and data. Type is either “START”, “END”, “ERROR” or “TYPE”. Data is an XML description of the current processed class (internally it uses flash.utils.describeType), which you then can further interact with.
Here’s an example of how OnSchemaReceived could look like:

public function OnSchemaReceived(type:String, data:String):void
{
	switch( type )
	{
		case "START":
		break;
 
		case "END":
		break;
 
		case "ERROR":
		break;
 
		case "TYPE":
		{
			var myXML:XML = new XML(data);
			myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
 
			var xmlList:XMLList = myXML.child("factory");
 
			//Check accessors:
			for each (var acc:XML in xmlList.accessor)
			{
				//DO SOMETHING.
			}
 
			//Check public variables:
			for each (var pVar:XML in xmlList.variable)
			{
				//DO SOMETHING.
			}
		}
		break;
	}
}

That should help you getting started!
