Does Adobe Air have the ability to use Android features like notifications, toasts, services?

Question

Android

Is it possible to use Android features in Adobe Air, such as Toast, Notification, is it possible to write a service on it that will hang in the background (say a timer) and issue a notification at a certain time?
If so, where can one read about it?
Are there tutorials or books on Air for Android/iOS? (Preferably in Russian).

Answer 1

Yes, there is such a possibility. You need to use special extensions called Native Extensions. There are a huge number of ready-made solutions.
