    On the deployment page of my Android project I see a greyed out file LibSkia4Delphi.so. The file cannot be found. 

    It points to a directory ....../CatalogRepository/Skia4Delphi-3.3.1/...... which does not exist on my dev machine. 

     

    Ok, found the culprit. This is what happens when you just copy your project to the next version of Delphi.

    Hi All,

     

    Not sure if this is the right forum...

     

    On the deployment page of my Android project I see a greyed out file LibSkia4Delphi.so. The file cannot be found.

    It points to a directory ....../CatalogRepository/Skia4Delphi-3.3.1/...... which does not exist on my dev machine.

    A search to the lib libSkia4Delphi.so gave no results.

    I can enable/disable Skia in the project, but no errors about missing files are reported.

     

    I did notice the files in program files (x86)..../23.0/... binandroid64 and in ../binandroid, both named libsk4d.so, but since these files are dated in 2023 I think they belong to an older version of Delphi/Skia....

     

    Should I reinstall Skia4Delphi from Github?

    Hi All,

    I get this message "Cannot find style resource for iOS 15" when I try to rightclick an editbox on the application's mainform and select "Edit custom style".

     

    My SDK points to iPhoneOS 18.2.  No Style editor is opened.  

    When I doubleclick the stylebook component on the mainform, only Default and Android Light are shown in the platform combobox.

     

    Any idea where to look or how to fix this?

     

    using D12.3

    tia, John

    That sounds like the OS/keyboard is retyping content into the edit control. The edit does go back to being empty and then having 1,2,3 etc characters in it just within a short period of time. 

    Yes, it looks somewhat in that direction, given the fact that another keyboard (GBoard) does not have the problem.

    One thought: keep track of the last partial search string and start/reset a short timer in the OnXXX events. When the timer event triggers check if the edit content is not equal to what was last searched for and update the search as appropriate. This gives time for the OS/keyboard to be done changing the edit contents before you use it's contents in your search. 

    Yes, I made something similar. Not using the events ,nor a timer, but polling the text from the editbox in the app's OnIdle event. Kinda dirty, but it works :)

    The problem is that the events OnTyping , OnValidating , OnChangeTracking, OnKeyUp, OnKeydown ALL are fired as many times as there are characters in the EditBox.

     

    That is, on my Galaxy 21, Android 15.

     

    I could work around it if I would know how many characters are in the EditBox, like length(editbox.text), but inside the eventhandler, that number gives me 0,1,2,3,4,.. NOT the actual length of the contents of the editbox.

     

    Is there a way to access the underlying editbox, in which on screen I can clearly see e.g. 6 characters, that gives me a "6"? 


    In that case I could count the number of events and know which one is the last one and act upon it.

    Hmm... It's one of the most used android phones... anyway, I noticed on a friends' Galaxy/Android 13 the TEdit with the OnTyping event has issues as well...

    Time to figure out just another workaround...

    Hi All,

    Just noticed. The OnTyping event is fired differently depending on the Android version.

    I have a TEdit that is used for incremental text searching.

    The user types, I use the OnTyping event to read the text from the TEdit and use this text to scan a table for keywords.

    Works okay on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android 12 (Samsung Galaxy Tablet).

     

    On all targets, the Ontyping event is fired once for every typed character.

    On my Galaxy S21, Android 15, however, the event is fired again and again for the length of the typed text. 

    So if I type 'tha' 

    I should have 3 events. Edit.text = 't', edit.text='th' edit.text='tha'.

     

    On my Galaxy S21, Android 15, I get 6 events:

    type the t:   1 event fired: edit.text ='t'

    type the h:   2 events fired: edit.text='t', immeditaely followed by edit.text='th'

    type the a:   3 events fired: edit.text='t', edit.text='th', edit.text='tha'.

     

    So as many events as the length of the typed text.  This continues until the user types a space.

    In that case only one event is fired and inside this event, edit.text equals the contents of the Tedit. As expected.

     

    My dev: Delphi 12.3, Android 25.2.5 both 32 and 64 bit

     

    Unfortunately I don't have more Android devices to test...

     

    Is this a problem in Android 15?

     

    tia,

    Hi All,
    Delphi 12.2, iOS

    Using a TMemo for user input did NOT show the word suggestions on the virtual keyboard.

    (predictive suggestions says Apple). Using Controltype PLATFORM instead of STYLED for the TMemo solved the issue.

    Just in case you have complaints from users, like I had... :)

    added btw

    Thanks Vinícius

    🙂

    BTW I noticed that the OnPaint event of the image is fired continuously as the image is scrolled in the visible part of the Listbox. I would have thought that if the size of the image is unaltered, the showing bitmap should not need to be repainted, only moved. But I'm not an expert on this....

    (Using Windows: download, and try to open) to replicate it themselves.

    I used WinZip to unzip the archive, which allowed me to skip files with bad filenames.

    I figured if those filenames are not allowed in Windows, these files  are probably not used anyway.

    It worked.

     

    ps, Dave, if I have questions about Kastri, should I ask them here?

    Hi, John
    I didn't find a normal solution
    I temporarily solved the problem like this:
    They give me a ready-made authorization key: ya29.c.c0ASRK0Ga_4Z1QIYsqufOCVdT ...., created on the server using PHP
    And I slip it into my request ...

    Lol....
    I too had a hard fight to send those notifications to the v1-google fcm server.... I never realized that the converting part (apns->fcm) also required this new approach...


    Having apps online that suddenly don't receive pn's anymore forces one to be creative....

    I'm now trying the Kastri-path.

    See this documentation. Authorization is now via an OAuth2 token - there is a link in the documentation to details about methods for obtaining the token. 

    Dave,
    I'm trying Kastri now. Again 🙂

    One thing I must do is download a copy of firebase.zip (SDK for iOS) from github. But both 11.2.0 as 11.3.0 give me an error when I try to unzip them: Invalid Zip-file. Tried on both win10 and win11.
    I tried to ask a question in the issues section of this github-repo, but my question does not appear in the discussion. Dunno why, no error reported.
    So I'm trying here: do you know an alternative to download this firebase.zip?
    Thanks,

    John

    Found it. Mea culpa.


    In delphi 12.0 I applied a patch in FMX.Platform.iOS, like adding this line: WindowManager.RootViewController.Super.init;

    as per

    and thereby saving that file in the source-dir of my project. It nicely copied into the new source-dir, I didn't notice.)

    Removing the file from my source-dir did the job.

    Hi All,

     

    just installed 12.2 after the installer uninstalled 12.1.

     

    The Android SDK manager reports some missing stuff. SDK Base Path, adb.exe location and SDK API level location have an error indicator.

     

    I noticed there are several files and directories missing (the new 2525-23.0.53571.9872 compared to  the new 2525-23.0.50491.5718).


    What to do?

    cheers,

    John
