Re: So Who Has Tried the Kindle Fire Yet (with LiveCode building)?

Dang, Colin-- that was FAST! Thanks for the update. I've been travelling
all week while mine is waiting at home. It will be in my grubby hands in a
couple hours!

Also, I'm about 3/4 through the Steve Jobs bio. Good read, for those of you
who haven't checked it out.

 Its supposed to be running a variant of Android 2.3.

 It's 2.3.4, but has a lot of nice Amazon interface on top of it (either
that, or I wasn't familiar with how Android 2.3 should look).

 Overall it's very good.

I ordered it a few days ago, I guess they had plenty of stock. 

One of my email buddies arrived home to find an empty space outside his front 
door, where his Fire had been delivered. Hopefully yours will be alright.

Hi All…

Just for clarification…

Colin you were able to create a LiveCode app, save it as a standalone for 
Android. Then upoad the newly created app to a web site, and from the 
KindleFire access the web site and download and install the app onto your 
KindleFire? 

Thanks!

Not exactly that, but all of the elements of what you said.

I did wirelessly download several apks to the Fire by touching the url to the 
apk in an email message. As with all Android devices, that downloaded and 
installed the app. You do have to go to settings to allow installs of apps from 
places other than stores first. Those apks happened to be Flash ones, but 
there's no reason to think that any other apk would behave differently.

I also did tests from LiveCode, with the device connect by USB, and that worked 
fine. And I did tests from Flash, to the connect USB device, and that worked 
fine too.

There was one particular thing I had to do in order for it all to work, which 
was to add the value 0x1949 as an extra line at the end of the file 
~/.android/adb_usb.ini

With other Android devices, at least with Android 3.x, you have to go into 
settings and Developer, and specifically turn on the feature that allows 
debugging over USB. With the Kindle Fire that is on by default, and there isn't 
a setting to turn it off.

It turned out to be mis-delivered to his neighbor, and so he got it the next 
day.
