Creating a Desktop App with Adobe Flash Builder for Force.com

Adobe Flash Builder for Force.com is a set of tools that let you develop Force.com Stratus apps—desktop applications that operate in the Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) environment and leverage Force.com logic and database capabilities. Force.com Stratus apps can operate both online and offline, making them ideal for users who do not always have Internet connectivity but still need to access data in your Force.com apps.

This tutorial demonstrates how to use Adobe Flash Builder for Force.com to build a basic Force.com Stratus app called Inventory Tracker that provides offline access to merchandise data. The app will enable managers to track inventory on tablet PCs while on-foot in a warehouse that has inconsistent Wi-Fi, and.will include the following standard Force.com Stratus app features:

  • A login screen that prompts users for their credentials and established connectivity with Force.com when online.
  • A conflict resolution interface that lets users easily resolve data conflicts that occur when values in the Force.com Stratus app violate validation rules or conflict with changes made by other users.
  • A status bar that notifies users whether the Force.com Stratus app is connected to the Internet, and indicates the number of unresolved data conflicts and errors.
