Air Native Extension for Native Alerts (iOS + Android)

This is an Air native extension for displaying native alerts on iOS and Android. It has been developed by FreshPlanet.

Installation

The ANE binary (AirAlert.ane) is located in the bin folder. You should add it to your application project's Build Path and make sure to package it with your app (more information here).

Usage

This ANE currently supports displaying an alert popup with:

• a title

• a message

• one or two buttons

  // Defining your callbacks
  var myCallback1:Function = function():void { trace("Callback 1"); };
  var myCallback2:Function = function():void { trace("Callback 2"); };
  
  // Display a one-button alert popup
  AirAlert.getInstance().showAlert("My title", "My message", "OK", myCallback1);
  
  // Display a two-button alert popup
  AirAlert.getInstance().showAlert("My title", "My message", "YES", myCallback1, "NO", myCallback2);

Notes:

• the theme used on Android is AlertDialog.THEME_DEVICE_DEFAULT_DARK on Android 4.x, AlertDialog.THEME_HOLO_DARK on Android 3.x and no theme on Android 2.x (cf. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlertDialog.html)

Build script

Should you need to edit the extension source code and/or recompile it, you will find an ant build script (build.xml) in the build folder:

cd /path/to/the/ane/build
mv example.build.config build.config
#edit the build.config file to provide your machine-specific paths
ant
