Compass & Accelerometer Tilt Compensation example
Hi there,
I am building an app that uses the compass to display directions in 3D space. The problem I have is that the bearings change when the device is tilted forwards and backwards making the direction useless. I have read many articles that say you can compensate for this by using the accelerometer and passing all the data through a rotation matrix but I can't find any actual examples for me to get my head around. Would anybody be able to give me a simple example of how I can achieve this? Thank you very much for your help.

Android .obb support (for apps > 50 MB)
Android supports the uploading of two .obb files (two archives). The archives are extractable directly by AIR but low powered devices crash (my experience here http://www.noriste.com/bticino-wiring-devices-a-starling-based-customisable-catalogue/#the-infamous-android-obb-file)
so an ANE could be very useful so the user see directly in the google play that the app is (for example) 200MB heavy, he downloads it and no waiting is required when it opens the app, far and far better than a long download wait on the app opening.
At the time I'm writing two others extensions exist that do the same but one is free but not so documented, one is…

Sell a la carte ANEs
Please sell individual ANEs. The FAQ says you're considering it, so I'd throw my votes in for that. I'm just a guy developing apps by himself and would happily pay $20 for a single ANE (email attachments!) but can't justify spending $149 just to get the one I want. Thanks!

Custom icons for LocalNotification
When using a local notification, I want to be able to use custom icons. So the icons can reflect the content of the message. Like in the Gmail App on Android, When I receive a notification for a new mail, the avatar of the sender is used as Icon.
7 votesCustom icons are now available as part of the push and local notification ANEs

in app purchase validation
I am using the In App Purchase ANE with iOS. I would like to do server side validation of the purchase. I've looked at the InAppBillingEvent in the PURCHASE_SUCCESS event. But what specifically is the data I need to send as the receipt data? It looks like the transactionReceipt has a purchase-info field that appears to be a base64 encoded receipt, but that doesn't work.
2 votesHi,
Yes you should be using the transactionReceipt on your server. Use it all not just one of the fields. Have a look into the apple documentation on verifying transactions.
Cheers,

Launch external apps.
I'd like to use intent on Android for launching external apps and sending data to them. I think it is a necessary function for many apps. It will be wonderful if it supports both Explicit intent and Implicit intent.
29 votesLaunching external applications is now available in the Share ANE. This uses explicit intents using the application package name specified to launch an application.
http://airnativeextensions.com/extension/com.distriqt.Share
The simplest example is something like the following where we are launching the instragram application if it is installed:
var app:Application = new Application( “com.instagram.android”, “instagram://” );
if (Share.service.applications.isInstalled( app ))
{
Share.service.applications.launch( app );
}In addition you can provide, data, action, type and any extras you require to launch the application.
Cheers

Better StageWebView
The current implementation of StageWebView lacks a lot of things (JS communication, video playback etc.) and has an inacceptable initialization time. I would love to see a distriqt implementation like UiWebView from Darkredz Studio. Just with distriqt quality...
