if(NativeProgress.isNetworkActivityIndicatorAvalieble())
	NativeProgress.showNetworkActivityIndicator(true);

Usage:

private var progressPopup:NativeProgress;
private var p:int = 0;
private var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(100);
protected function openProgressPopup(style:int):void
{
		progressPopup = new NativeProgress(style);
	progressPopup.setSecondaryProgress(45);
	progressPopup.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CANCELED,closeNativeProcessHandler);
	progressPopup.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.OPENED,traceEvent);
	progressPopup.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CLOSED,closeNativeProcessHandler);
	progressPopup.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR,onError);// changed from NativeExtensionErrorEvent
	progressPopup.theme = ThemeSelector.selectedItem.data;
	progressPopup.setMax(50);
	progressPopup.setTitle(titleInput.text);
	progressPopup.setMessage(messageInput.text);
	progressPopup.show(canclebleCheckbox.selected,indeterminateInput.selected);
	myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, updateProgress);
	myTimer.start();
}

private function closeNativeProcessHandler(event:Event):void
{
 		progressPopup.removeEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CANCELED,closeNativeProcessHandler);
 		progressPopup.removeEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CLOSED,closeNativeProcessHandler);
 		progressPopup.removeEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR,onError);// changed from NativeExtensionErrorEvent
 		progressPopup.removeEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.OPENED,traceEvent);

	progressPopup.dispose();//before kill()
 		myTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,updateProgress);
 		myTimer.stop();
		p = 0;
}
private function updateProgress(event:TimerEvent):void
{
		p++;
		if(p>=50){
			p = 0;
			progressPopup.hide();
		(event.target as Timer).stop();
		}else
		progressPopup.setProgress(p);
	}

protected function viewBackKeyPressedHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
		event.preventDefault();
 		myTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,updateProgress);
 		myTimer.stop();
 		p = 0;
 		if(progressPopup){
    		progressPopup.hide("some message");
 		}
}

NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.EXITING,exiting);

protected function exiting(event:Event):void
{
		if(progressPopup)
    		progressPopup.dispose();//before kill()
}

NativeListDialog(Android / IOS)

IOS uses: SBTableAlert

NativeListDialog has the ability to show a native android popup dialog with a multi-choice or single-choice inside a Adobe Air project.

Usage:

private var multChDialog:NativeListDialog;
private var choces:Vector.<String>;
private var buttons:Vector.<String>;
private var checkedItems:Vector.<Boolean>;
private var selectedIndex:int = -1;

protected function view1_viewActivateHandler(event:ViewNavigatorEvent):void
{
	choces = new Vector.<String>();
	//the text of the items to be displayed in the list.
  		choces.push("one","two","three","four");
  		checkedItems = new Vector.<Boolean>();  
	// specifies which items are checked. It should be null in which case no items are checked. If non null it must be exactly the same length as the array of items.
  		checkedItems.push(true,false,false,true);
  		buttons = new Vector.<String>();
	//the labels for the buttons. It should be null in which case there will be only one button "OK". If non null max length 3 buttons
  		buttons.push("OK","Settings","Cancle");
}
protected function openMultiChoiceDialog(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	multChDialog = new NativeListDialog();
		multChDialog.theme = NativeListDialog.ANDROID_DEVICE_DEFAULT_LIGHT_THEME;
		
  		multChDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CANCELED,closeNativeDialogHandler);
  		multChDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.OPENED,traceEvent);
  		multChDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CLOSED,closeNativeDialogHandler);
  		multChDialog.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR,onError);// changed from NativeExtensionErrorEvent
 		multChDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogListEvent.LIST_CHANGE,onListChange);
 		
  		multChDialog.setTitle(titleInput.text); // before title ="Some Title"; - can change while in popup
  		multChDialog.setCancelable(canclebleCheckbox.selected);// before cancleble = true;- can change while in popup
  		multChDialog.buttons = buttons;//before in show method
  		multChDialog.showMultiChoice(choces,checkedItems);
}
public function openSingleChoiceDialog(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	singleChDialog = new NativeListDialog();
	singleChDialog.theme = NativeListDialog.ANDROID_DEVICE_DEFAULT_LIGHT_THEME;
	singleChDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CANCELED,closeNativeDialogHandler);
	singleChDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.OPENED,traceEvent);
	singleChDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CLOSED,closeNativeDialogHandler);

	singleChDialog.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR,onError);// changed from NativeExtensionErrorEvent
	
	singleChDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogListEvent.LIST_CHANGE,onListChange);
	singleChDialog.setCancelable(canclebleCheckbox.selected);// before cancleble = true;- can change while in popup
	singleChDialog.buttons = buttons;//before in show method
	singleChDialog.setTitle(titleInput.text); // before title ="Some Title"; - can change while in popup
	singleChDialog.showSingleChoice(choces,selectedIndex);
}
public function closeNativeDialogHandler(event:NativeDialogEvent):void
{
	var dialog:NativeListDialog = (event.target  as NativeListDialog);
	dialog.removeEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CANCELED,closeNativeDialogHandler);
	dialog.removeEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CLOSED,closeNativeDialogHandler);
	dialog.removeEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.OPENED,traceEvent);
	dialog.removeEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR,onError);// changed from NativeExtensionErrorEvent
	dialog.dispose();//before kill()
}
private function onListChange(event:NativeDialogListEvent):void
{
		var dialog:NativeListDialog = (event.target as NativeListDialog)
	if(dialog.selectedIndex>-1){
		selectedIndex = dialog.selectedIndex;
	}else{
		const a:Vector.<String> = dialog.selectedLabels;
		if(a.length>0){
			for (var i:int = 0; i < a.length; i++) 
			{
				trace(a[i]);
			}
		}
	}
}

	if(NativeTextInputDialog.isSupported()){
		textInputDialog = new NativeTextInputDialog();
		textInputDialog.theme = NativeTextInputDialog.ANDROID_HOLO_DARK_THEME;
		
		textInputDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CANCELED,trace);
		textInputDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.OPENED,trace);
		textInputDialog.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR,trace);// changed from NativeExtensionErrorEvent
		textInputDialog.addEventListener(NativeDialogEvent.CLOSED, onTextInputDialogClosedHandler);//before NativeTextInputDialogEvent

		var v:Vector.<NativeTextField> = new Vector.<NativeTextField>();
			
		var ti1:NativeTextField = new NativeTextField(null);
		ti1.text ="enter name and password:";
		ti1.editable = false;
		v.push(ti1);
			
		var ti:NativeTextField = new NativeTextField("name");
		ti.prompText = "name";
		ti.text = "John Doe";
		v.push(ti);
			
		var ti2:NativeTextField = new NativeTextField("password");
		ti2.displayAsPassword = true;
		ti2.prompText = "password";
		ti2.softKeyboardType = SoftKeyboardType.NUMBER;
		ti2.text = "77799";
		v.push(ti2);
			
		textInputDialog.show(titleInput.text,v,buttons);
	}
}
private function onTextInputDialogClosedHandler(event:NativeDialogEvent):void // before NativeTextInputDialogEvent
{
	for each (var n:NativeTextField in event.list) 
	{
		trace(n.name+":  "+n.text);
	}
	trace(event.buttonIndex);
}

Toast (Android / IOS)

	for (var key:String in dictionary) 
	{ 
		var readingType:String = key; 
		var readingValue:String = dictionary[key]; 
		trace(readingType + "=" + readingValue);
