I’m using Flash Builder to build an AIR android app. To prevent the app

  • 0

I’m using Flash Builder to build an AIR android app. To prevent the app being activated when lock screen is presented, I need to modify AndroidManifest.xml to include modified android:configChanges attribute in the application tag.

AIR provides manifestAdditions tag in AIR application descriptor file (*-app.xml) to accomplish this, but the compiler throws an error if I include configChanges attribute. I can manually unpack and edit the manifest, but then I have to re-sign the package, and that is a hassle (and kinda defeats the point of using an IDE).

Is there a way to automate the process of modifying the manifest?

    You cannot tweak it within AIR, it is reserved. You’ll need to do it the manual way.

    Take a look at:
