    I tried this (only one project per group). But then I run into the problem that the IDE loads this project in a new group (ProjectGroup1.grouproj) the next time I start it and when I compile I have to save the group. Do you just work with .dproj files directly?

    While IDE automatically "adds" project to "new" group when you open project, it never forced me to save that group. Maybe you are changing something "group" related so it requires saving.

    This is long standing issue... I even had bug report in old QC related to this.

     

    Problem is not only that it compiles multiple projects when you only want one, but it messes up compile defines and you can end up with total mess in the resulting exe. I eventually gave up, and I no longer have multiple projects in a group. 

     

    You can try filling bug report in QP and hope it will be solved one fine day.

    Why even bother writing those checks? An exception will be raised as soon as you attempt to use the nil instances. 

    In addition to what @Stefan Glienke said, on Delphi LLVM based compilers exception triggered by accessing nil reference will wreak havoc because it will not be caught by current method exception handlers (and finally blocks will not be executed either)

    Working as designed.

     

    Compiler evaluates mathematical operation first and only then it will do assignment. Since your operation works on two integers, the result will also be integer - and it will overflow at compile time. 

     

    You need to typecast at least one of the operators to Int64 to widen operation result.

    I still don't know what the heck that has to do with the fact that LOTS of LEGACY PRODUCTS DEPEND on libraries that are ONLY available through this "toy"!

     

    I wish people would stop venting about the quality of GetIt in response to those of us who actually DEPEND on the libraries LOCKED INSIDE of GetIt. THAT is the problem I'm trying to address.

    I never realized that some libraries were available only through GetIt. This is a problem indeed. I guess that best course of action would be submitting QP report (once it finally gets online) and post the link here so we can vote on it.

    You need GetIt if you want to easily download the Android Sdk/Ndk

     

    GetIt is down for many days now... 

     

    Ps: I know that I can download sdk and ndk from Google Servers directly but hey, I thousands Euro on Delphi... 

     

     

    Like others have said, GetIt is good for newbies, hobbyists, it is not really well suited for professionals - only if you want to try something without too much hustle...

     

    But using GetIt for downloading Android SDK/NDK is pure masochism. Uninstalling/Installing that every time you need to update Delphi.... WHY????

     

    You have several options... download with GetIt, then move (copy) that in some permanent location... or IMO the best option, go to https://developer.android.com/studio and download Android Studio it will also give you tools for additional monitoring and inspection of your Delphi app.

    Or if you really don't want whole Studio... you can also download SDK separately. 

     

    You can share same SDK across different tools and Delphi versions. No need to keep separate versions or update it every time you update Delphi.

    I also deleted and re-added my serial but still cannot get osx64 to compile :(

    Works fine for osx32, but for osx64 it just prompts to add SDK, After I press OK (with Command Line Tools) nothing happens. All I get is [Error] and Failed in the log.

     

     

    Most likely path to Command Line Tools on your Mac is not properly set. 

     

    How to check and setup you can find at Troubleshooting (macOS and iOS) section  http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Rio/en/SDK_Manager

     

    Or if you have Xcode installed you can go to Preferences and set Location (path) to Command Line Tools http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Rio/en/Installing_the_Xcode_Command_Line_Tools_on_a_Mac

    Those who tried 10.3.2.: does it feel like they improved error insight and code completion? Are inline variables still a problem, still marked as error?

    No, it is not fixed, yet.

     

    Permanent solution that will solve all those issues is Delphi LSP (Language Server Protocol) support and is scheduled for 10.4.

    @Darian Miller What you are talking about and what I am talking about are two completely separate issues.

     

    This thread revolves around brand new 10.3.2 release... in order to install that release you need to be on active subscription for which you can get license bump... and my comment was strictly about the fact that even though you can, you might want to avoid such situation because you will find yourself in situation where you have to wait and while you wait you cannot work...

    ? @Dalija Prasnikar did something change in the licensing? No more perpetual license?

    License is perpetual, but at some point people would not get license bump (for any version) if they were not on active subscription. 

     

    That situation was kind of resolved in the meantime... but it is still not quite clear to me what is current status and how it works... if I recall correctly now you have to contact sales to get registration bump

    The uproar over registration bumps has seemed to die down.  I imagine they have stopped telling customers that they need to be current to get a bump?

    You would not be able to install/use 10.3.2 (or any new version that will be released) without being on active subscription anyway. So having a bump approved is not an issue, it is the waiting for the bump that matters.

    @Dalija Prasnikar I would always add Delphi to the search query. But other than that, Ian should now be good to go.

    Indeed.

     

    I just always like to read MS documentation first. So those would be my first steps. 

     

    After I collect all necessary API calls, I would search Delphi RTL/VCL source to see if anything is already implemented somewhere... and yes, then Google again for specific Delphi implementation if needed (I can generally manage using Windows API calls without additional searching, but that knowledge depends on how often one has to interact with Windows API directly - Delphi does good job at hiding and wrapping those parts so many developers don't have the need to do low level interactions)

    Hi David,

    "Easy"  Says he who knows how to do it. 😉

    I have no idea how to do what you described.

    1. Google create process

    2 Google process pid

    3. Google close process

    4. Google wait for process

     

    David gave all necessary steps... you (or anyone) just need to go through that list one by one finding out how to do each particular thing if you already don't know how to do that.

    It probably does work since there are actually 3 third party tools with exceptions. Just have to find what Google Play are looking for. I didn't try very hard.

    http://www.fmxexpress.com/learn-how-to-deploy-delphi-10-3-rio-android-apps-to-google-play-with-android-64-bit-requirements/

     

    I've been banned from Google Play twice before (nothing to do with this) so YMMV.

    I didn't say nothing could work, just that particular thing you mentioned does not work to save people trouble trying it.

    Please look at "RAD Studio 10.3.2" in the following link:

     

    https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/rad-studio-roadmap-may-2019

     

    I think best option is to keep 10.3.2 for a while because 10.4 has deep changes: LSP for Delphi and unified memory management.

    Unified memory management only affects mobile compilers and if you are developing for Android you will have to use 10.4. Developers developing for iOS will still be able to use 10.3.2 for a while, but probably not for too long... and even for them it would be smart to switch to 10.4 as soon as possible to adjust their codebases.

     

    As far as LSP is concerned... code completion and navigation as well as code insight is pretty much broken as-is... I cannot imagine LSP in its first release being so bad that it would justify staying at 10.3.2.

     

    Also 10.3.2 and 10.4 can live side by side... so you can have both and use version that is more appropriate for any particular reason you may have.

    I need to check whether or not current computer time is correct (with some tolerance) and currently have following code.

      

      LTime := TIdTime.Create(nil);
  try
    LTime.Host := 'time.nist.gov';
    LTS := LTime.DateTime;
    // do something
  finally
    LTime.Free;
  end;

    It was working fine (AFAIK) until I upgraded the router and basic firewall setting now blocks port 37 which is used by TIdTime... but allows port 123 (UDP) so I switched from TIdTime to TIdSNTP and it is working again. 

     

    So question is... is TIdTime obsolete... are there any gotchas with using TIdSNTP?  Is it safe to switch to TIdSNTP and don't look back? I need to support Windows 7/8/10 with most common settings (software and hardware). If someone decides to specifically block everything... there is nothing I can do anyway.

    We really need a genius who writes an add-in which replaces the native Delphi Code Insight with a working one. Such an add-in should also be highly configurable. I would pay up to $100 for such an add-in.

    Not really...

     

    Main problem with IDE is that it uses different parser... so when compiler changes and gets new features IDE part also needs to be updated with support for new features. That is what is missing here. IDE does not know about inline variables. 

     

    According to May 2019 roadmap https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/may-2019-rad-studio-roadmap-commentary-from-product-management this problem will be solved by using LSP (Language Server Protocol) https://langserver.org/ 

    That way, there will no longer be discrepancy between IDE and compiler.
