Hi, I wanted to see other people's experiences with debugging in Android. How does it work for you? Actually, I've never managed to make it work . The debugger never gets connected to the right port, etc. etc. Now I've got some code that does not work and I comment/uncomment code to find the problem. There must be surely an easier way. I use a real Android tablet connected to a VM, if it matters ????

Nah..I will use the web installer. BTW, it is very comforting to know that the product manager is on the same boat 🙂

Ah ok then....nothing wrong with my system....😤😤

Yes--that's the recommended way. I can't remember where I read it but Combine takes care any leading slashes based on the OS

No, I get the same error with a clean install of 10.2.3 Let's hope the upcoming 10.3 will resolve this

Are you able to debug the apps?

@Yaron That was my concern TBH---a huge file like in Win I recall a similar discussion somewhere else. 🙂 You mean the original file in the resources is in high-res and then you scale it down to meet the screen resolution, right? and then you store this in a cache directory

I know all these approaches (the link, the resources and using getDocumentPath) @Dave Nottage: But this is not the recommended way by Android. I am concerned if those approaches are safe. @Yaron: Is this appropriate way for apps with big number of images?

I asked a similar question a couple of days ago but it was about debugging Do you use Delphi in a VM?

I've got a few components I developed in FMX and when I install them on the IDE they do not show all the platforms when you hover over them in the palette. How do I enable this? I followed some components by Delphi in the source code but couldn't locate how they do it. TIA

Yes true. Many times, I copy paste the text in the style file directly. This can be complicated if you have complex objects (components, animation, layouts, etc.) but after a while you grasp the hierarchy of objects in the style-file

Correction....this option exists only when you drop components in a form. If it happens to use frames (as I do all the time), this option is not available

@David Millington I see many posts about 10.3. Does this mean that people in Beta program can speak freely now?

The "Edit Custom Style..." does not exist any more. As said, the official (cross-platform) way to change the background is to use a style. Although this is not what you are asking, try to use a glow effect (yellow or red) on the edit field instead a yellow rectangle. Super easy to implement and the effect looks cool in all platforms 🙂

Hi, I've created two new components based on TImageList and TImage in FMX. The new components load images from a directory during design and in run-time. Please have a look here: https://github.com/jkour/neImageTools Thanks

Sorry but I don't have D2010 on my PC. The components do not use any FMX specific code except the component itself 🙂

Can someone who knows the IDE inside out, write a fix for the layout setting? The IDE does not remember the choice the user makes and it reverts back to default.

@dummzeuch....sorry again... Well, I was right. When the IDE loads, the startup layout loads and GExperts then changes to the pre-selected layout. What I meant is that the IDE starts and stays to startup layout and when a project opens then GExperts changes the layout

Yes, that's right. Sorry, I misunderstood what you wrote earlier GExperts behaves correctly with the layouts.

Hi, it would be nice DP site to refresh automatically so it reveals the new posts. Thanks

Is it possible to mave a button like the "Mark site read" but for forums only?

Guys, how do you enable this theme?

@dummzeuch Just an idea...could GExperts change the layout after a new project is loaded? There must be a service and interface in IDE for this. In this way, it would keep many people happy

Aha...I knew there was such an attribute but was unable to find it in the docs. Sometimes, I feel you need to know where everything is in the documentation Ευχαριστώ 🙂

@dummzeuch Thanks a lot. That makes me happy 🙂
