Question

I have a simple php login page. When user and password is correct i want it to pass the login information to air. I was able to do it when i used flash(passed values to swf file). But i can not figure out how to do it now, because the app is in android device and i have no idea how to reference it.

Thanks.

When you say pass from PHP to AIR, do you mean that the user comes to your web app in the android browser, signs-in and then you want to launch the app with the user signed-in? In such a case you may pass the credentials in an encrypted string as a launch param to the AIR application. Register you app for a custom namespace, say my-air-app:// and then pass the app the params.

In case you mean that you launch the sign-in page from your application using WebView and you want the app to pick them up – add a URL change listener to your webview object, from PHP redirect to a custom protocol, monitor this URI, once received, fetch and decrypt data.
