By adding this code to an AIR app's xml you can set it as the "home" or launcher:
<activityandroid:name=".AppEntry">
<intent-filter>
<actionandroid:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.HOME"/>
<categoryandroid:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Unfortunately, this causes the soft keyboard to display on launch, and doesn't go away until the user interacts with the app. Not only does this look strange and unprofessional, but for an unattended application (like digital signage) it's a deal breaker.
I've Googled until my fingers hurt, but I haven't found a solution. Help!
PS. I should note, I tried this, with no luck: stage.focus = null;@@
