Sorry - Delphi 12, Windows 11. However my test phone did upgrade to Android 15 today...

Yes! Thank you very much Dave. I am constantly amazed at your knowledge.

I need to get a cheap tablet for testing. -Needs to work with Windows 11. and Delphi 12. -Preferably under $150. Any recommendations?

To follow up, I was able to get a 7 inch and 10 inch for testing. Glad I did! Have to adjust a few things

Hi François , I am so sorry I really messed up that description! - We are developing apps for Android, using Delphi 12, on Windows 11. - We need an Android tablet to be used only for testing the android apps. (and possibly as a Kindle alternative 📓) - We want to spend under $150 if possible (OK if it is used or reconditioned) -I am used to Samsung, so that would be a plus I hope that is more lucid. Thanks!

Say I have a TRectangle, and inside of it I have 5 TRectangles, and all are align=top. How do I then change the order or them at design time? I've been using: copy all to clipboard, paste to a text editor, delete on the form, and then paste back in one at a time. Is there a better way?

Thanks dave

Delphi 12.1 Assigning a TDateEdit.Date causes a calendar to popup on android. For instance simply MyDateEdit.Date := Today; Is this by design, and how do I prevent it?

Where can I find the Top value please?

I asked this once, and Remy Lebeau answered thus: ‐-------- There is nothing built-in to FMX for retrieving the device's fonts. I've seen 3rd party solutions that provide FMX wrappers for OSX and Windows, but not for Android. Android does have some APIs you can try directly, see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3532397/how-to-retrieve-a-list-of-available-installed-fonts-in-android

Sherlock thanks for the helpful links

What devices would you include when testing an android app meant for tracking collections (stamps and such) ? I know there are services and emulators, but would testing with the actual devices be better?

Thanks everyone for the great informative answers! This is such a helpful and knowledgeable group.

I am looking to add camera support to an android product. Has anyone used the Winsoft camera product vs IFMXCameraService.TakePhoto?

I ended up using the code from this page, and it seems to be working https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Athens/en/Taking_Pictures_Using_FireMonkey_Interfaces

I purchased the Winsoft product. It is a powerful pruduct but suffers from lack of documentation. FWIW.

18000? Gulp.

Windows 11 Delphi 12.1 (haven't dived into 12.2 yet) GExperts, CnPack, MMX are installed. Right-clicking on the toolbars and selecting "Customize" I can then arrange the toolbars and icons, add new icons etc. All is well until I restart Deephi, and the toolbars are not as I left them. Some icons are missing. Some toolbars have blank spaces where the icons should be. I have tried locking the toolbars, and saving the desktop. Has anyone else run into this?

I'm at 12.1 patch 1. Everything is working fine.

Oh I like that dockable AI Chat Panel

That Smart Codeinsight sounds great! Thanks for the link.

Oh well, provides a nice warm up phase before coding 🌞

I'm looking for an XML library to use on Android. I am used to using NativeXML under Windows, so anything similiar to that would be perfect. Thanks much!

Just to confirm - VerySimpleXML is great. Took about 30 seconds to understand and implement Loadfrom/Saveto streams. Wow. Great job Dennis D. Spreen!

I'm looking at VerySimpleXML - I think I can work with this one.
