Google Play requires Android 13 after 31. august !!!
TazKy replied to Hans♫'s topic in Cross-platform
We will see. I have been developing Android projects using FireMonkey for the past 5 plus years starting with KitKat (v4.4.4) and I hold my breath each time my company has to support the newest Android OS with their ever tightening restrictions. Fortunitely there is one thing I do not have to worry about. My projects does not have to pass the Android High Counsel's playstore scrutiny. Apps are developed for our customers only, not the general public. -
The emphasis on one third party component system is just strange. They could have said DevExpress, JCL/JVCL, Woll2Woll InfoPower and on and on as a requirement. A developer uses the best tools for any given situation. I have used TMS products in the past especially their TAdvStringGrid which I use to love including in my projects. However, when they decided to stop selling the grid package by itself and put it in a larger component package with other "useless" components and increased the pricing a large amount I considered that a break with their agreement with me.

A sinister thought could be that one day Google could force every app being considered for its play store be exclusively built using Android Studio only due to its every restricting security requirements with each version release. -
Your assessment could be correct but at the same time they could have been burned in the past. What is interesting is the strong emphasis on TMS.

Loading A Project (DevExpress Behemoth Installed)
TazKy replied to TazKy's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
That was never a problem. I put the blame on DevExpress because I dislike the whole product and perhaps too quickly laid the blame on it. Also the project that I inherited includes the full measure of JCL/JEDI and FastReports. And it was originally written for 2007. Fun, fun. And no, I have Delphi 10.2 and 10.4 and they are lightening quick on loading. 11.3 was before this massive change. -
Ever since I HAD to install DevExpress on Alexandria 11.3 loading a project (it does not have DevExpress in that project) takes a very long time to load that project. I have been doing Delphi since 2000 and this is my first experience with DevExpress and I am not impressed. Thanks for any enlightment.

"Quality Recruiters" That flew out the window a long time ago. I trust none for the most part because the qualification requirements are staggering and I doubt anyone no one has ALL of those skill sets.

Is it possible to send text from android to a windows laptop and back over wifi?
TazKy replied to JohnLM's topic in Cross-platform
When the "raise" occurs deep in the code that is outside of your code that really is a bummer. -

Concerning the use ot TSocket I hate it when I see this when closing the app, raising an error on a proper shutdown. Compiled and ran it as is written. -
JEDI Installation Annoyances 10.4
TazKy replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
I have a long history using JCL/JVCL and many times it is a major pain to install. Then again it is free so you get what you paid for. I could also say the same thing (sort of) for DevExpress. You would not believe how much b.s. there is out there when installing that bohemeth. I finally ran across a simple solution which worked - moved the damn thing out of the protected "Program Files (xx86)". -
I have a FastReports project that I am trying to load. Naturally I am missing things. Class TBatchMove not found. Class TQuery not found. Class TTable not found. DBTables missing. That is a good start. I have BDEInstall installed. What am I missing? Thanks beforehand.

IDE - Delphi 11.1 "View Unit" and "View Form" buttons stopped working.
TazKy replied to Louis Kriel's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
11.3 exhibits the same problem. I went ahead and uninstalled/reinstalled 11.3. Works fine, for now. Also interesting that sometimes after a long coding session with a lot of this and that its modal boxes will appear behind the IDE. Quirky crazy things. -
Where does Delphi store the list of command line parameters?
TazKy replied to PiedSoftware's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
I call RSP tickets that are in the eternal open mode as "crickets", never to be fixed. When you look at something that was submitted when "Berlin" was the current version, the only thing you can do is move on. -
It is interesting how NOTHING ever comes easy when trying to code for an Android FMX (and probably iOS) project. I have been Android coding using FMX for over six years (23 years coding VCL projects). You fight each and every step. It is interesting that even using Embarcadero's example (https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/CodeExamples/Alexandria/en/FMXTPopupMenu_(Delphi)) to program a simple button/popup menu project does not work. And the testimony from someone stating in your link "FireMonkey for Android does not suppot TPopupMenu" flies opposite from the Embarcadero link that I listed which is perplexing. Good luck.
