Address Book - AIR SQLite example application

This is an example I originally wrote to use along with the Adobe AIR documentation, or perhaps as a supplementary “quick start” sample. In the end the scope of the example was too big for the documentation, so I cut it. However, I think it is useful for demonstrating a number of techniques — both beginner and intermediate — for working with the SQLite database engine that’s included with AIR.

The app is a basic address book/contact list, with a list of contacts and a detail view where you can edit contacts or add new contacts:

    @naseer:

    Since this project is really intended as an example application (i.e. as source code you can look at) I didn’t bother providing a .air file for installing it.

    If you want to test the application, you can compile it using the Flex SDK or Flex Builder and try it out. You can also use either one of those tools to create a .air file that you can install (assuming you have the AIR runtime installed on your machine).

    @robert,
    First create new flex AIR project, then copy the com folder into the src folder of your project and copy the mxml file’s code into your project’s mxml file. Now, you will be able to run the application…
    & its working great.

    Hope this helps.
