I am using Delphi 10.4.2 CE, also downloaded the trial version of Alexandria and the results are the same: 1. Put a TEdit into the form, aligned or not, target to mobile 2. Type in some words until you cross the visible borders, so the text will scroll... 3. Try returning to the beginning of the text! If you can do it without get blocked into the visible part of the control, please let me know how to! I can't move the cursor beyond the visual limits. If you change to Platform mode it will work as it should, but you will lose the Z level for the controls.

Hello! I have installed D12 Community version, after struggling with Android SDK, at the end now I have installed both 33 and 34. I also have D11 installed but as nothing was working before I remove the SDK from D11 as my intention is move to D12. With that said, after installed everything I opened a sample to give a test and something is off. I have downloaded the JDK 21 (Eclipse Adoptium [C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-21.0.4.7-hotspot] but anyways: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/embarcadero/dexer/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0 I can understand that my java runtime is using an older version and to add more confusion I also will have a version 17 on C:\Program Files\Microsoft\jdk-17.0.12.7-hotspot plus a JDK for C:\Program Files\Java... Now, how can I fix that? Of course I would like to have only one version of the SDK. SOLVED: I uninstalled every Java JDK installation and had sure to have only one, fixed some system environment variables, reconfigured the SDK path and done

I guess title says all, I put a TEdit/TMemo on a form, copy text from any source, and after by using the Control-V it won't paste, but of course if I right click a standard popup shows up and I can paste. Is possible to make the FMX controls to accept it? I can intercept the keyboard, test if the data is text, populate the text control, at first shot it will change the value of the control, not wanted behavior at all, like the popup it should fill at the caret/cursor position. Am I forgetting something here?

I read almost every topic of the internet about this, but no clue and actually I have 2 issues... My Android app, Delphi CE, needs to save a file into the shared folder and it works fine (using TPath.GetSharedDocumentsPath), but I need to eventually share it and here I have the issues, first my app can't touch that file for sharing, but I can read and write it perfectly. The error is that known " android.os.FileUriExposedException: file:///storage/emulated/0/Documents/myfile.txt exposed beyond app through ClipData.Item.getUri()". Ok, so I thought that my app can read the file I could clone a copy into the "sandbox" (TPath.GetDocumentsPath) and try to share and this is my second issue, because it seems to save the copy there but when I try to check the folder in phone the path .../files is empty. My Android is running the version 11 and SDK 26. The sharing function I am using can be the issue, of course: procedure ShareFile(FileName: string); Intent: JIntent; fileuri: JParcelable; Uri, Data: Jnet_Uri; begin Intent := TJIntent.Create; Intent.setAction(TJIntent.JavaClass.ACTION_SEND); Intent.addFlags(TJIntent.JavaClass.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); Data := TJnet_Uri.JavaClass.parse(StringToJString(FileName)); Intent.setType(StringToJString('vnd.android.cursor.dir/*')); fileuri := JParcelable(TJnet_Uri.JavaClass.fromFile(TJFile.JavaClass.init(StringToJString(FileName)))); Intent.putExtra(TJIntent.JavaClass.EXTRA_STREAM, fileuri); TAndroidHelper.Activity.startActivity(Intent); end; I am not even sure if the vnd is correct. If someone could help I would be very glad.

My program should run with Linux, when connecting to MySQL, using Firedac, I am having the error below: Error: [FireDAC][Phys][MySQL]-314. Cannot load vendor library [/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmysqlclient.so]. Hint: check it is in the PATH or application EXE directories, and has x64 bitness. The message is sent by my own program, here I attempt to load the lib and having this issue. I had a similar issue when working with MacOS but I was able to fix it. The software is the same I have running with MacOS. Any tips on what I could check? I am running Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-105-generic x86_64) I followed every single step from https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Connect_to_MySQL_Server_(FireDAC)

I need to send for the Google's support how my program is sending the request for it's API but I have only the parameters. I need that because my lib to use Programmable Search Engine is working but I am getting different results from when in the public search https://cse.google.com using my own parameters (using credentials you can search and use as a test too). So I need that information, if possible. If not possible, by using the Delphi's REST Debugger I could be sure that the TRESTRequest is doing the same?

Yes, but for that I would to be sure the TRESTRequest is doing the exactly thing the Rest debuger does. I will follow this.

Hi all, I followed this link https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Connect_to_MySQL_Server_(FireDAC) but I couldn't find that libmysqlclient.dylib file. The files which comes with the package are completely different. That Embarcadero's link is already outdated. This is the 1st time I am trying to create a MacOS program that requires using of MySQL connection. I am creating a CLI program and attached a data module, so at OnCreate I am doing that: {$IFDEF MSWINDOWS} FDPhysMySQLDriverLink1.VendorLib := '.\libmysql.dll'; {$else} FDPhysMySQLDriverLink1.VendorLib := '/usr/local/mysql-connector-c++-8.0/lib64/libmysqlcppconn.dylib'; {$ENDIF} I am not sure if that's the way I can change the vendor in runtime, anyway I have no error when running with Windows, however besides not be able to understand what is the correct dylib to MacOS, as I told before, there isn't any libmysqlclient.dylib file. I am running a Mac with OS Ventura.

Thank you very much!!! I works 😁

Hi! Well I am struggling on this, maybe it's late and I am tired enough, I'd appreciate any help with. Below my function: type TReadings = record Time: Integer; Flex: Boolean; Message: String; end; function GetReadings: TReadings; var JSonObject: TJSONObject; JSonValue: TJSonValue; JsonArray: TJSONArray; ArrayElement: TJSonValue; s: string; begin Result.Message := ''; Result.Time := 0; Result.Flex := false; // example of a json s := '{"A":0,"B":0,"C":1,"D":0,"K":{"T":"X","acc":81,"max":116},"result":[{"type":{"TP":30.3,"message":'+ '"Added successfuly"},"time":503,"flex":"yes"}]}'; JSonValue := TJSonObject.ParseJSONValue(s); JsonArray := JSonValue.GetValue<TJSONArray>('result'); for ArrayElement in JsonArray do // how do I could read message, time and flex values? JSonValue.Free; end; I need to read that 3 values inside the array. So far I can move the array into the JsonArray but I don't know how to extract the values. Of course I could made a string parse and solve the issue, but I am will be glad if I can fix it using that Json classes to populate the result record. Again, thanks for any help.

I am starting a very new Datasnap REST server. Made a simple function to return a query but I am getting the error of the the title's post (Unknown storage format [BIN] ...) I dropped the Json storage for reflect, follow a lot of examples, that's simple, but simply does not works here. Any tip?

Yes, Delphi 4.... Let's go, if you can help. I have a tree view with some nodes, like below I need to, eg., copy the select node (1.1.1) into 1.1.1.2 ! I've trying to figure out how to accomplish this. I already have a copy/past function that works well if no such complex copy is required, like copy a top node into a lower child node. The recursive function goes crazy with this lol I found some solutions but mostly will use newer version of Delphi so it won't work. One of the solutions I found was that: https://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/en/showcode.php?id=1876 But it won't allow me to copy into the same branch from a top level. I would appreciate any help on this!

Yes I has and I thought to move to a TList, but this way is working too! Thank you!!

Worked like a charm!!! I didn't though using arrays lol.. I love programming because of this! I will convert back to my real code. I just want to check all the behavior, but so far so good. Thank you very much for you time!!

I am attaching a simple functional demo I just did with the code I am using. It has 3 buttons, one to select the source node, other to the destination (target) and the copy button itself. I works fine, but not if you try to copy a "father" node into it's on child, no problem to copy into another branch, like the 2nd image in the initial message here. I am really happy if you can help me because I am struggling for about 2 days on it, maybe a technique to make the node "understand" where it should stop when it's into the same branch, because only seeing if the node is nil isn't enough as by the recursive method we will have always something to iterate with this specific case and it will blow the memory. Maybe casting a class into the Data, or mark its pointer memory address, I dunno what could be the best. I am still trying something here. CopyTreeView.rar

I need to do it programmatically, I will try use your idea to see if I can do it now, but I tested and was able only to move and not adding or inserting. Thanks!!!

Nice! That's exactly the issue. So when user enter the edit I change to Platform, he lefts I change back to Platform, as a workaround.

Normally other apps would use different frameworks from FMX. This very app I am creating, as I already told, will work when changing the ControlStyle to Platform, but if I do it one of the issues is related to z control, like bellow:

Not working, you got trapped into the visible text. Want to change a word/letter beyond the visible part? Delete back some characters...

Well I agree but in this case it will work fine when changing the Style to Platform, so this can be a very specific issue with FMX.

I don't know about lack of buttons, but I meant about the inability to move the cursor/caret allowing the user to edit any text he already typed in. You can only fix the text you "see" in the control at that time. Suppose the user need to type "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit": Lorem ipsum |dolor sit amet, consectetur adip|iscing elit The green text between the two pipes | represents the width of the TEdit. So if the cursor is over the letter r and the user needs to fix a test beyond this space it's impossible, unless he deletes the text using backspace, the gray text is out of range because there is no visible cursor to allow moving to that text.

And I finished. My app is now able to both send the text file I intend and also receive a text from sharing 🙂 Thanks to Brain Long again as I found the new updated article: http://blog.blong.com/2016/09/android-callbacks-wrapped-by-firemonkey.html

Well, I quit trying to doing it myself and now I am using Kastri lib (https://github.com/DelphiWorlds/Kastri) I works like a charm!! The second part is about receiving a text from another app, like a selected text. I already can do it, but just if I close my app and so the event will be triggered. Once I change to other app, select text and share, it won't work. I was guessing if OnActive should solve that but no, it's never triggered again, same onShow, only onPaint but that's crazy. Is there another way once my Android application returns focus to me check the intent? I tried implement the Brain Long solution (http://blong.com/Articles/DelphiXE7NFC/NFC.htm#ReceivingIntents) but I was unable to.. 😞

Well, reading an answer at Stackoverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56952411/sharing-image-and-link-through-intent-for-whatsapp-telegram-etc) is said: So, as I thought, now if I really need to send to Telegram I must figure out how to correctly input the information there. At least the sharing file is working.

I just tried Intent.setType(StringToJString('image/* text/plain')), well the result is the same. At very first I tried Intent.setType(StringToJString('text/plain')) and it will be used because the type file is ascii text. Maybe Telegram can have another way to receive a text file, which is different from Whatsapp.
