    Delphi + Android java class + init function problem

    You cannot, until this is fixed: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-10150 As per Loki's comment, one solution is to write Java code to wrap the class. Alternatively, you might be able to decompile the Java, modify the method name and recompile the jar in question.

    TListView multi selection?

    Does this help? https://delphiaball.co.uk/2014/07/09/using-the-tlistview-to-select-multiple-items/

    Put a control into the menu bar?

    I have a demo of how to do this on macOS, here: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/KastriFree/tree/master/Demos/macOSStatusBar It relies on files in the Kastri Free project: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/KastriFree For Windows, use a TTrayIcon. I think there's plenty of examples around the internet of how to use it.

    Communicating RFID with APDU commands

    If you're going to do any Android development that's even slightly outside of the scope of what's provided for you with Delphi, you need to at least have the basics for Java. I highly expect it is possible; it's a matter of knowing enough Java/Kotlin to be able to translate examples into Delphi code.

    Rules for changing cursor to HourGlass and back

    Consider if DoSomeLongProcess causes an exception.. what will happen to the cursor if there was no try..finally? Consider also if the cursor was something other than the default before you changed it to an HourGlass? Should you restore it to default, or to what it was before you changed it?

    Rules for changing cursor to HourGlass and back

    These days, I avoid changing the cursor at all, but provide feedback in other ways. If it's a long running process, it'll be performed in a background thread. If you really must change the cursor, be sure to save its current value, and wrap it all in a try..finally, e.g. SaveTheCurrentCursorAndChangeToHourGlass; try DoSomeLongProcess; finally RestoreCursorToWhatItWas; end;

    Communicating RFID with APDU commands

    In Kotlin, however does this help at all? https://medium.com/the-almanac/how-to-build-a-simple-smart-card-emulator-reader-for-android-7975fae4040f It uses the IsoDep class to send the APDU commands

    Issue with a new and a (rather old) App for iOS with Rio

    Sounds like your .deployproj may have problems and/or your IDE. Make a backup of the .deployproj file, delete the existing one, do a Clean, Build, and try again.

    installing support for Android and Linux platforms

    If you installed via ISO, you need to uninstall, then re-install selecting all desired platforms. If you installed via ESD, you'll have an option from the Delphi menu in Tools|Manage Platforms

    news about the beta of 10.3.4

    If you're a subscription customer, you should have received an invitation to participate, as per this blog article: https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/august-2019-delphi-android-beta-plans-august-roadmap-update "We’re planning on kicking off an NDA Beta for the 10.3.3 release, codenamed Sugarloaf, later this month. All customers on Update Subscription will be invited to participate in the Beta and will be able to start migrating their applications even earlier with Beta versions, which will include a specific Beta EULA waiver permitting Google Play Store deployment"

    Android Firebase Push Notifications Patch Released

    With 10.3.2, there's just a few of the steps needed from the original tutorial: https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/firebase-android-push-notification-support-with-rad-studio-10-3-1 Which are: 8 through 10, 14, one step that's actually missing from the tutorial: In Project Options, select Application > Version Info and modify the value for "package" to match the identifier you have for the project in Firebase Console and one additional step, which is what I expect you may be missing, namely: In Project Options, select Application > Entitlement List, and check the Receive Push Notifications checkbox. I think that's everything 🙂

    Code formatter in CnPack

    It has a "begin style" but no "end style": So my guess is: no.
  14. Good question. You could simulate this by transfering the APK to the device, and install it by opening it from whatever File Manager app is on the device. -cleaninstall is supposed to work for iOS also.
  15. Yes, as per the documentation: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Rio/en/Deployment_Manager If you're running the app from the IDE, you could use the -cleaninstall option as described here: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Rio/en/Running_Your_Android_Application_on_an_Android_Device
  16. As Remy says, you cannot. Add a feature request 😉 I know how hard that can be to track down, even with debugging Delphi from Delphi. You might want to disable other experts one by one at least to find the culprit.
  17. Why not just keep your own list? i.e. when you call AddWizard to add a wizard, save the index and the name (via GetName or GetIDString on the wizard) in your own list.

    Delphi 10.3.2 Android Application is Not Starting

    Thanks for the log! You may need to revise your NDK settings too, given it solved this persons problem: https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/platforms/f/android-platform/67751/10-3-android-5-crash I have mine set at Android-22.

    Delphi 10.3.2 Android Application is Not Starting

    You might want to wind your build tools back to 28.0.3. Other than that, use a logcat viewer to find out what errors have been thrown, if any. I have a logcat viewer called DeviceLens that's in development: https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/MiscStuff/blob/master/Test/DeviceLens.zip

    Application Loader no longer included in Xcode11

    That's correct. There already is (in "beta"), however yes. Mosco is just macOS related.. Codex already does some "Android-y" things: https://www.delphiworlds.com/codex/ I am considering supporting creation of Application Bundles for that, however that's dependent on how much time I have.

    Application Loader no longer included in Xcode11

    Correct. Applications can be loaded to the App Store from the command line xcrun altool, e.g: https://medium.com/xcblog/xcodebuild-deploy-ios-app-from-command-line-c6defff0d8b8 I'm planning to add App Store upload functionality to Mosco: https://www.delphiworlds.com/2019/07/delphi-10-3-2-released-introducing-mosco/

    Resolve a uses clause unit path?

    Which part? In any event, I use them successfully in my own experts.

    Parsing Google Search Results redux

    I doubt that's the reason Now that sounds more like a reason 😉 Having said that, if you're using text-based parsing it'd be possible to workaround the lack of a <body> tag. I started looking at doing this programmatically using TWebBrowser a few days ago. If I had more time, I'd continue with it

    IDE adds {$R} between units

    When you say this, do you mean for a particular project, or for any? The IDE is known to "mess up" the .dpr if you modify certain parts of it. Examples of what can happen: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/758047/how-do-you-deal-with-ifdefs-in-dpr-uses-section https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6762194/how-to-prevent-delphi-modifying-its-dpr-project-source-unexpectedly https://stackoverflow.com/questions/317997/delphi-adding-r-res-in-the-dpr-file https://wiert.me/2018/12/20/do-not-put-ifdef-with-relative-paths-in-your-dpr-as-the-delphi-ide-cannot-match-them-in-the-dproj/
