System.IOUtils.TPath.Combine(path1, path2);
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?

9 minutes ago, Yaron said:Unlike windows which places all the resources in the executable, if you look into the installation folder on Android, you'll see that all the resource files are in their own folder as actual files, so the resource function is just re-routing to these files.
@Yaron That was my concern TBH---a huge file like in Win
10 minutes ago, Yaron said:I also use a caching mechanism in my apps where the images are scaled in high quality to the UI resolution and then saved uncompressed to speed up future loads.
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?
-
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

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

@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
-
12 hours ago, dummzeuch said:Doesn't the IDE already do that? It annoys the hell out of me that my IDE window moves from my primary monitor to my secondary monitor when I open a project and moves back to the primary monitor when I close one.
Yes, that's right. Sorry, I misunderstood what you wrote earlier
GExperts behaves correctly with the layouts.
-
Is it possible to mave a button like the "Mark site read" but for forums only?
-
Hi,
it would be nice DP site to refresh automatically so it reveals the new posts.
Thanks
-
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 🙂

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

So, GExperts solve this?

Hi,
can anyone help me with this?
Where am I supposed to store my images on Android?
I use the deployment manager to store them in "res\drawable-xxx" but my app does not find it.
How do I access the folder from the binary file? I mean, would that be "res\drawable-xxx" or "..\res\drawable-xxx"?
Thanks
10.3 and Internal Server Error
in Delphi IDE and APIs
Posted
Hi guys,
I am trying to install 10.3 and I get an "Internal Server Error" when the installer launches the Platform select form.
Anyone knows what might be wrong?
Thanks
