Flex Native Local Notifications - apache-flex

I've an air app that needs to put a notification on the status bar on android devices like "2 New Tips" etc. Rest everything works fine, but I am not able to find something that can put a notification on the status bar. A simple demo that puts some text on the status bar on a button click.
I really need it, as this is the last thing left in my app. Please help!!

you'll need to make Native Extensions. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/ane-android-devices.html

Azure Notification Hub App Logo for multiple platforms

I have NH working ok, but I want to have an image accompany the push. Basically, this image is a branding option, so it wouldn't change for each push, but could change occasionally.
This seems pretty straightforward for WNS, using the App Logo Override option.
Can something similar be done for iOS and Android? I haven't played with them yet and I don't really need a whole solution, I just can't seem to find it spelled out like it is for WNS.
I did see an example for iOS that involved sending a silent notification that prompted the user to see the image, but that's not what I'm trying to do.
I just want a message from a particular vendor to have their little logo on it.
Is this possible?
TIA
Turns out the best way to do this is to send a URL for an image in the template and substitute it for the applogo image source. Remember that when you do that, the system will not automatically size it for you.

iOS app with Gluon, get app in full screen and keep screen alive

I am making a simple iOS application with two Views using gluon. In one of the views I need to be able to keep screen alive indefinitely, prevent it from rotating and have it full screen without the status bar showing. The other View should have the default behaviour(rotating normally, let screen go off when there is no touch input by the user and status bar should be showing).
I have seen some tutorials on how to do this on Android binding an interface to native code. Is this possible to do in iOS? I have looked around everywhere online and no one seems to have done this. Any pointers ? Thank you.

WatchKit Menu Items Not Displaying

I'm in Xcode 6.2 Beta 3 (Build 6C101), I've added a menu and two menu items to my Interface Controller, and created IBActions for both. I've given them titles and images, but when I run the app nothing displays.
I've read
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/WatchKitProgrammingGuide/Menus.html
and can't see anything about need to show menu items programatically - what am I missing?
You do not need to present the menu programmatically. The only thing you need to do is wire each button to IBActions in your Watch app extension.
The most likely issue is caching of the previous Watch app storyboard. Do a clean build and try again.
Finally, as you likely know WatchKit menus only display on a "force press". They cannot be used for the main interface of the Watch app. In the Simulator, a click and hold with the mouse will simulate a force press, and the animation will make it clear when you have done one, even in contexts where it doesn't do anything.
This was solution for me- Go to Hardware->Touch Pressure->Deep Press then try tap on watch simulator.
I have recently encountered this issue on a real device, although the menu was working as expected on the watch simulator. In my case, the problem was in SF Symbol that I've used as an image.
Everything was fixed after replacing it with an image from the assets catalogue.

Customize/show/hide navigation bar in BB10 for Android app

I have ported an Android app to BB10 and it works smoothly except for 1 0r 2 issues.
One being an issue with bottom navigation bar that holds "Back", "Hide", "Info" and "Overflow" buttons. It shows up by default when the app is launched and can be hidden using the "Hide" button. To retrieve it back on screen we use a BB10 gesture(Swipe from top bezel downwards) and pin it back.
The above behavior works fine in BB10 Simulator, but not in actual device(Z10), which may be due to OS issues as mentioned in some of the posts.
To overcome the issue I wanted to know is there anyway to Customize/Show(always)/Hide the navigation bar either through Android source code or any settings in Config. Please suggest a way to resolve the issue. Thanks in advance.
I have a similar issue. But based on official answers from the Blackberry forums it appears that they would give users some control only in a 'future' release. Please take a look at this link.

This is the exact quote,
We are looking at an option to allow users to hide the navigation bar.
Hopefully this will be available in a future release.

Regardin Flex mobile alert

I am creating an application using flex mobile but could not find how to show alerts using flex.
So can anyone please tell how to show the alert in flex mobile , mx alert don't work in this and i could not find an alternative in spark.
Thanks
If you'd like to use the native alert popup (a title & message with 1-2 buttons like Ok|Cancel) I suggest using ANE Native Alert
You can either make your own pop ups, or if you don't want the hassle.
There is a Native Extension called AirAlert that will display the native pop ups. You can find it here:
Air Alert Git Hub Page
It works well on both platforms.
