I have just made the AndroidMerger Tool: Integrate AAR SDK in FMX Android app An Android library, also called as Android Archive, includes everything you need to build an app like source files, resource files, manifest etc. This is the reason why AARs are different from JARs. AARs can contain resource files as well other than compiled byte code. Adding such library to Delphi project is long and convoluted process consisting of extracting resources from library, manually adding them to Delphi deployment files, compiling R.Java class, checking dependancies, etc. With AndroidMerger all of the above can now be done automatically in a single command line. In brief AndroidMerger will: Use graddle or internal implementation to list all dependencies. Download libraries and dependancies from local or central maven repository. Merge the resources of all AARs inside a single directory. Merge the AndroidManifest files of all AARs inside AndroidManifest.template.xml. Merge google-services.json in the resources of the project. Create the R.jar with all resource IDs using aapt or aapt2. Update the project file (.dproj) to include all resources. Generate the Delphi native bridge file from the Java libraries. Everything is here (source code included) : https://github.com/MagicFoundation/Alcinoe/tree/master/Tools/AndroidMerger

@Lars FosdalDunno, I didn't post this so i am changing the password to be sure!

Every time I've tried asking ChatGPT how to do something using ICS components it answers with Indy samples. Has Remy paid for promoted listings on ChatGPT, so Indy results appear above ICS? <g>

Note: when you "build" with "Use MSBuild..." on project, you'll have a file .CMDS with all properties necessary. then, I think that it's not necessary add it on command-line. You need just have in your "output EXE/DLL" folder of course, you can create this file manually! = <<project name>>.CMDS in Project1.DPROJ is added: <DCC_UseMSBuildExternally>true</DCC_UseMSBuildExternally> <Import Project="$(MSBuildProjectName).deployproj" Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildProjectName).deployproj')"/> http://blog.blong.com/2017/10/delphi-buildinstall-to-android-from.html

Have you actually tried to specify DCC_UnitSearchPath on the MSBuild command? msbuild /property:DCC_UnitSearchPath="d:\mycomp\lib" myproj.dproj

This is how I compile with older versions of controls.. might help you get started.

I'd love an AI that would suggest improvements to the code that I write, instead of writing the code for me.
