SPECS: Delphi 11.2, Galaxy S10+ phone (Android 12) (screen size is 6.4 inches) Issue: I want to change the view in the IDE to match my phone but the closest one is the 'Android 5" phone', and when I add componets on the form in that view, after compiling, the controls don't fit the screen and/or are sometimes off the view of the screen. In Delphi XE7, in the View's drop-down list, there is a custom setting option. I think I only used it once for a tablet years ago, but could not figure it all out and gave up. However, in 11.2, there is no listing for custom. So, I was wondering if there are downloadable views, or does the developer has to figure it out manually by eye/try. I've been searching around but cannot find any answers. TIA.

specs: window 7 64bit, delphi 11.2, phone s10+ with android 12 I've been wanting to ask this question for some time and an opportunity came to me and I'm now asking... I would like to send text from my galaxy s10+ phone to my laptop over wifi, and back, from my laptop to Android over wifi. I want to type some text, a word, or a whole paragraph, and send it. Are there any demos or how-tos for this? I searched my sample folders but did not find anything. Also, I do not want to use a USB cable, nor do I want to join/use any outside services from other sources. I don't want to download any apps, register, and all that. I want this to be strictly private and only from my two devices. TIA

Hi there, recently I've got some insights, about the internal TBitmap magic in FMX, for the following code snippet, under Android: procedure TTestForm.SaveImageToTemporaryStore( const AImage : TBitmap; const AArrayList : JArrayList; const AIndex : Integer ); var LImageFile : JFile; LImageUri : Jnet_Uri; LOutputDir : JFile; LPath : String; begin // Retrieves the apps cache, temporary file storage folder LOutputDir := TAndroidHelper.Context.getExternalCacheDir(); // Creates a temporary file in that cache folder LImageFile := TJFile.JavaClass.createTempFile( StringToJString( 'attachment' + AIndex.ToString ), StringToJString( '.png' ), //<== This is the only palce where png comes into play LOutputDir ); // Get that file as URI LImageUri := TAndroidHelper.JFileToJURI( LImageFile ); // Retrieve that path, for testing purposes, it looks like this: // '/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.embarcadero.APPNAMEHERE/cache/attachment05833119307942135994.png' LPath := JStringToString( LImageFile.getAbsolutePath ); // Save the TBitmap to that IRI file Path, works pretty well AImage.SaveToFile( LPath ); That works well and all as expected. When I send that file via sharesheet then after, also that works fine. // If we use ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE action of Intent, we should put image throught Parcelable Array List. // Because in this case other application read EXTRA_STREAM like a ArrayList<Uri> // Created externally by LArrayList := TJArrayList.Create; AArrayList.add( LImageUri ); end; Then finally this is added to an Intent, to share to other apps. That works well, put it as below into the Intent as EXTRA_STREAM, it sends the .png file via different apps: LIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra( TJIntent.JavaClass.EXTRA_STREAM, LArrayList ); So all works well and I should not complain. But it struck my, when I asked myself: Why does the source TBitmap converts to a *.png file in the first place ? Why didn't I had to fumble around with TBitmapCodecManager or something else, to get this conversion coded ? After some investigation, looking into the TBitmap.SaveToFile( LPath ); I found that the trick, by hidden conversion, depending on the file extension: procedure TBitmap.SaveToFile(const AFileName: string; const SaveParams: PBitmapCodecSaveParams = nil); var Surf: TBitmapSurface; begin TMonitor.Enter(Self); try Surf := TBitmapSurface.Create; try Surf.Assign(Self); if not TBitmapCodecManager.SaveToFile(AFileName, Surf, SaveParams) then raise EBitmapSavingFailed.CreateFMT(SBitmapSavingFailedNamed, [AFileName]); finally Surf.Free; end; finally TMonitor.Exit(Self); end; end; Sometimes, I'm still surprised by the hidden convenience that Firemonkey provides for us. Under VCL I would have to convert this image the hard way by myself, for example with TPNGImage, like PeterBelow pointer out here. I'm always happy when FMX made me forget such nasty details

We've been having a strange issue using the TRESTRequest component with some of our users. When we call the request.execute on those devices, it always raises an exception with the message of "External Exception 0". Weirdly it only seems to happen on Samsung devices, particularly newer models such as the S22 Ultra (but not exclusively that device). It happens for every API call we make, but only affects our app. The user reports that all their other apps can talk to the internet fine, so not sure what this could be. We have a number of newer Samsung test devices but can't reproduce this issue. The error seems to be coming from the OS rather than Delphi, but I can't see any reason for it. We've been exploring device config-specific factors such as firewall apps, disabling data access to the app etc but there doesn't seem to be anything special. Most affected users keep their devices as factory default for these settings. I've extract a logcat from those devices (I don't have physical access to the device though), and it doesn't show any errors, warnings or messages related to network access, security or things I would expect if the OS was the cause. We're running out of ideas, and the users are becoming frustrated as they can't use the cloud features of our app. I'd really appreciate any thoughts, suggestions or even just troubleshooting theories that could help to figure this out. Thanks!

Hello, I still am on Delphi 10.1, because it does all what need and I hat spending 2 days installing all my third party components after upgrading to a new Delphi version. And of course it is not that cheap any more as it used to be, when I started with Delphi a long time ago. Unfortunately an Android app I made with Delphi 10.1. does not start on a new device with Android 11. Is there a way to get an app, that is made with Delphi 10.1 working on Android 11 or do I have to upgrade to Delphi 11.x? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Currently, I'm working on an Android 13 FireMonkey mobile app (Delphi 11.3) with a TabControl with about four tabs. The app is grabbing JSON data from a URL and manually parses and loads the data into a FDMemTable. The app has very small data requirements (ie., single user, single table, and the JSON file would exchange only about 25 records per day containing about a dozen or so key/value pairs). Besides the memory table, I'm using an embedded database (SQLite) to store the data on device using LocalSQL features to implement database CRUD operations. My concern is persistence and restoring state if the app were to say crash/lose focus/device reset. Right now each time the app gains focus it starts from the beginning. For example, when running the app and then a call comes in on the device, my app loses its focus. When you return back to the app it starts as in the first time. I would like it if when the app restarts to remain in the same state it was before going to the background. I played around with the OnSaveState event on my main form, but it didn't behave the way I expected. For example, I send a mapping intent from my app to the default mapping app on the device for navigation. In this instance, the user temporarily leaves my app when the mapping app opens, and when closed, the user should return to my app. When I implement the OnSaveState event into my app (to read/write data to a stream) the user never returns to my app after closing the mapping app. But, if I remove the OnSaveState event, it does return back to my app, which is the desired behavior. How should persistence and restoring state be handled in an Android app?

i have this code here: fTask: ITask; fTask := TTask.Create( procedure begin while not True do Application.ProcessMessages; TThread.Synchronize(TThread.Current, procedure begin // update ui end); end); fTask.ExecuteWork; // this will stop here.. until [fTask] finish work !! In android didn't wait untill Task Complete !!

Hello all, We've just deployed an update to our FMX app on the Play Store, but we're seeing a worrying number of ANRs reported in the Play Store vitals area. We've changed a lot in this latest update including much heavier use of styles from style books. We also can't reproduce the ANRs on any of our 10 Android test devices as it's only impacting < 1% of our user case (around 600 instances from 200,000 installs). I have a clear call stack (below) which is showing that the ANR is a block on a monitor when trying to apply the styles to my UI elements, loading the resource specifically. Does anyone have any ideas of how this could theoretically be caused? We do use a lot of threads so my first thing to check was that we weren't trying to update the UI from a thread without Synchronize or Queue but I can't find any case where we aren't. Any suggestions for what I could look for would be very welcome!

I'm having difficulties getting HTML into the body of an email message when I send using intents, which opens the email app on the device to send the message. My application is able to put the html code into the body via this method but the message just shows the html code, not the browser type view of the code. What am I doing wrong? Code follows: procedure TfrmMain.SendMailViaIntent(const AText: string); var Intent: JIntent; sMessageBody:string; Recipients: TJavaObjectArray<JString>; begin sMessageBody:=Body.Lines.Text; //Intent := TJIntent.Create; Intent := TJIntent.JavaClass.init(TJIntent.JavaClass.ACTION_SEND); Recipients := TJavaObjectArray<JString>.Create(1); Recipients.Items[0] := StringToJString(AText); //Intent.setType(StringToJString('message/rfc822')); Intent.setType(StringToJString('text/html'));//not showing as html Intent.putExtra(TJIntent.JavaClass.EXTRA_EMAIL,Recipients); Intent.putExtra(TJIntent.JavaClass.EXTRA_SUBJECT, StringToJString(edOutSubject.Text)); //Intent.putExtra(TJIntent.JavaClass.EXTRA_STREAM, StringToJString(sMessageBody)); Intent.putExtra(TJIntent.JavaClass.EXTRA_TEXT, StringToJString(sMessageBody)); Intent.putExtra(TJIntent.JavaClass.EXTRA_HTML_TEXT, StringToJString(sMessageBody)); TAndroidHelper.Activity.startActivity(TJIntent.JavaClass.createChooser(Intent, StrToJCharSequence('Which email app?'))); end;

Hi everyone, i need to ask the permissions to read the notifications on the device, but i can't find the correct way to do it, in the project options i selected the "Bind notification listner service" permission. The code I use is this: uses ... Androidapi.JNI.GraphicsContentViewText, Androidapi.JNI.Provider, Androidapi.Helpers, Androidapi.JNI.JavaTypes, System.StrUtils ... procedure TFormTestPerm.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); //to show the permissions dialog VAR LIntent : JIntent; begin LIntent := TJIntent.Create; LIntent.setAction(TJSettings.JavaClass.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SETTINGS); TAndroidHelper.Context.startActivity(LIntent); end; procedure TFormTestPerm.Button2Click(Sender: TObject); //to take the test VAR SecureS : JString; NomeAppS : String; begin NomeAppS := JStringToString(TAndroidHelper.Context.getPackageName); SecureS := TJSettings_Secure.JavaClass.getString(SharedActivityContext.getContentResolver, StringToJString('enabled_notification_listeners')); If AnsiContainsText(JStringToString(SecureS),NomeAppS) Then Label1.Text := 'SERVICE FOUND!' Else Label1.Text := 'NO SERVICE FOUND'+sLineBreak+'"'+NomeAppS+'"'; end; but my application does not appear in the list. I've found a few solutions on the net that I still can't get to work. Does anyone know the proper way to ask for this type of permission?

Delphi 11.2 I use Winsoft Pdfium for FireMonkey to create a PDF that includes a graphic (png saved to a SQLite table field). The graphic is inserted into the pdf document (as the document is being created) with the following code: Sig := tMemoryStream.Create; try MarafillerDM.EMUInvQrySIGNATURE.SaveToStream(Sig); var aBitMap := FMX.Graphics.TBitmap.Create; try aBitMap.LoadFromStream(Sig); MarafillerDM.FPdf1.AddPicture(aBitMap,18,135,230,80); finally aBitMap.Free; end; finally Sig.Free; end; Up until a couple of weeks ago this worked for both Windows and Android without any problems but now I get an 'Unsupported Pixal Format' error from the Winsoft AddPicture procedure - but only on Android devices (Samsung Tab 6 Lite). On Windows it still works fine. Haven't changed anything in my Delphi environment (updates etc) between it working and not working. Has anyone else experienced this. Would appreciate any help with this issue. Bill Zwirs

Have recompiled an app for Android with Delphi 11.3 and now get the following error when entering numbers into a dbdatagrid (Firepower) and tmsfnc edit control (in both cases have keyboard set to numberpad): Eval Error in: java.lang.indexoutofboundsexception setspan(3...3) ends beyond length 1. The error only occurs on Android tablet - not on Windows version. Have never seen this error before under previous versions of Delphi. Can someone please shed some light on this problem and point me in the right direction to fix it. Bill

Hi. As the title says, I cannot debug any Delphi FMX application on my Android phone. I'm using the latest Delphi version (Alexandria, Update 1), and my phone is Samsung A52s. When I try to run in debug mode, the app installs, a black screen shows up on the phone, and RAD studio layout transforms to Debug layout. Two outcomes may happen after that: I get the exception Stop(17), which leads me to CPU view and a call stack containing only "clone" and "bionic_clone", The app stays entirely black, and either nothing happens or RAD studio disconnects after a minute of being in the debug mode. On further investigation, I realized that if I set a breakpoint on Application.Initialize, it is never triggered. Also, if I set a breakpoint while the debugger is attached, RAD studio freezes for ~10 seconds, and after it unfreezes the debugger disconnects (while the app is still running on the phone, still as a black screen). Useful info: The app runs completely normal when opened without the debugger. I am able to debug blank apps with Android Studio. I tried using a different SDK version. I have another phone, Samsung A5 (2017) that can be used with the debugger (but it randomly restarts when debugging, hence unusable). A52s uses Android 12, while A5 is Android 8 (Oreo). I also attached logs from logcat, that are filtered for anything that matches with the app name 'com.embarcadero.BetterProgress'. I don't know what other information may be of use, so if I missed something feel free to write it in the comments. Any idea is appreciated! android-log.txt

Hi. I am making Android app, and i add Android Service to project, guided by this video: Code in the Android Service: unction TDM.AndroidServiceStartCommand(const Sender: TObject; const Intent: JIntent; Flags, StartId: Integer): Integer; begin Result := TJService.JavaClass.START_STICKY; end; Calling from main project: FService : TLocalServiceConnection; FService := TLocalServiceConnection.Create; FService.StartService('F'); But when i lainch my application, it is crashing at once at start. When i launch my app under debugging, Delphi writing me: Full text on the attachment. Also, debugger get this code: I am using Delphi 10.4 CE.

Hi All! I have a joystick that is connected to my phone. When my application is running a can see than joysticks buttons are pressing. But when the phone screen is locked, I don't see notifications about it in my app. What can I do to receive joystick button press in my application when the screen is locked? Receivers code procedure TForm1.FormKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; var KeyChar: Char; Shift: TShiftState); begin inc(i); Memo1.Lines.Add('i=' + IntToStr(i) + '; Key=' + IntToStr(Key)); end; The result of the application, photos of joysticks and the source code are in the attachment.

I have old app in Android. I have used uniDac to connect to sqlite database. The database is encrypted using leAES256 method. FD cannot connect to it. I need to convert database for FD. But when I use both of these in the app, Delphi gives an error : sqlite3.c:(.text+0xb5e8): multiple definition of `sqlite3_aggregate_context' (And many other errors) I know the reason for the error but how to convert the database when I can't use both of them?

Delphi 11.2 Winsoft PDFium In app for Windows and Android I am using PDFium to create an invoice as a PDF. Included In the PDF are 2 lines of text that are colored red and one rectangle filled with color blue. Using PDFium I need to use TAlphaColorRec.Red and TAlphaColorRec.Blue to display the color on the PDF. This works fine on Windows but when compiled for Android the text colour shows as blue and the rectangle fill color is red (ie. opposite of the selected colors). Reversing the colors fixes the problem for Android but would appreciate if someone can please explain why this would happen. Thanks Bill Zwirs

Issue/Problem: when deploying an app to android that has the: (camera, json, or barcode components on a form) the app starts up with a black screen flame and hangs and closes down. Has anyone tried the trial version of TMS FNC WX Pack Android? -- link: https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/tmsfncwxpack.asp I have been having a difficult time with the trial version v1.5.1.0 (via Getit) working on my smartphone with Android 10, using Delphi 11.2 Alexandria Professional under Windows 7 and also Windows 10 laptops. The trial version states to set it in release mode (For mobile device deployment, the trial version supports deploying in release mode only) which I have done, but after the app is deployed I still have a black screen with the Delphi flame and it eventually closes whenever click out of the screen. I am hoping that someone with similar experience knows how to resolve this issue. I would really appreciate the help. Thank you.

Hi there, I was experimenting with the Android.template.xml, to use different API-related selections, to searate old and new Bluetooth settings. Some recommendations in the web point to this nice and clean solution, so separate APIs in the manifest: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="..."> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" android:maxSdkVersion="30" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" android:maxSdkVersion="30" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN" android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" android:maxSdkVersion="30" /> <application ... /> </manifest> Using the android:maxSdkVersion and the android:usesPermissionFlags="neverForLocation" identifier would allow an easy control over different versions. Unfortunately this didn't work in my current setup, maybe I have to rry again with a clean project, but I see a failure "attribute neverForLocation is not available". This seems that targeting to API31 is needed, and I'm still under API30, in its D11 default setup. But I'm not sure why this message pops up, and is not simply ignored, if there is an unknown attribute. Probably this needs linked somehow to the API31, and API30 throws exception. To be rescued, maybe the android:maxSdkVersion might work under different versions in different configurations, to make Delphi compatible with several API's at the same time in one manifest ? To be clear, I'm not talking about the targetSdkVersion here, but if someone could make use of the android:maxSdkVersion attribute already. I'm curious if somebody has get this working as expected under Delphi. Beside that, what would be the best way to handle BluetoothLE under API30, to be compatible with old and new devices ?

I have been successfully creating small utility apps on my android devices (Galaxy S10+ (android 10) and tablets (android 4.x.x)) for the last 8 years. I've been playing around with a new windows project using API through OMdbAPI (an IMDB knock-off) to get quick movie/tv series info. The API is free for 1000 requests. I love it. It works well. Usage is simple, using the following -> [https://www.omdbapi.com/?t=Contact&apikey={8-dig-key-code}] as it will give back a JSON string (below), then I parse it to get back a two-column detail to visualize the data better. Later I plan to fine-tune it and display only certain info from it. Right now, I am simply debugging it on Windows 7 and Android. {"Title":"Contact","Year":"1997","Rated":"PG","Released":"11 Jul 1997","Runtime":"150 min","Genre":"Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi","Director":"Robert Zemeckis","Writer":"James V.

In Delphi 10.4, I was able to get a listing of files in an Android 11 device's shared storage. In Delphi 11.2, with necessary permission set (either programmatically or on the device), TDirectory.GetFiles() is returning an empty list (ie. zero entries). TDirectory.GetDirectories() is working correctly, and using TFile.Exists() with a filename which I know to be present returns true. But, if I try to open that file with, for instance, TFile.ReadAllText(), access is denied. Any suggestions? This is an example program which fails in Delphi 11.2: unit test11main; interface uses System.Types,System.Classes,system.sysUtils,system.IOUtils,system.Permissions, {$IFDEF ANDROID} Androidapi.Helpers, Androidapi.JNI.JavaTypes, Androidapi.JNI.Os, {$ENDIF} FMX.Types,FMX.Forms,FMX.Dialogs; type TForm1 = class(TForm) procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject); private fOK:boolean; procedure PermissionsResult(Sender: TObject; const APermissions: TClassicStringDynArray; const AGrantResults: TClassicPermissionStatusDynArray); end; var Form1: TForm1; implementation {$R *.fmx} procedure Tform1.PermissionsResult(Sender: TObject; const APermissions: TClassicStringDynArray; const AGrantResults: TClassicPermissionStatusDynArray); var n:integer; begin if length(AGrantResults)>0 then for n:=0 to length(AGrantResults)-1 do if not (AGrantResults[n] = TPermissionStatus.Granted) then fOK:=false; end; procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); var DataDir:string; p:Tarray<string>; LList: TStringDynArray; begin fOK:=true; { if I omit the next two lines and manually set permissions on the Android device it still does not work} p:=[JStringToString(TJManifest_permission.JavaClass.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), JStringToString(TJManifest_permission.JavaClass.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)]; PermissionsService.RequestPermissions(p,PermissionsResult,nil); if fOK then begin DataDir := TPath.GetSharedDocumentsPath; showmessage(DataDir); //correctly displays /storage/emulated/0/Documents Llist:=Tdirectory.GetFiles(DataDir); showmessage(inttostr(length(Llist))); //returns zero when run in Delphi 11.2 end else showmessage('permission refused'); end; end.

I am trying to work out some issues with compiling certain components and need to list out all installations that pertain to Android development. I use the Android SDK tool to install various Android files. Although I can compile apps and deploy them to my Android device, I believe that I have messed things up pretty well, I think. F:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\15.0\PlatformSDKs\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\tools\ --> Android Tools And I want to list out the same details seen below but in "text" format (so that I can post it to someone). I don't want to post it as an image like the below, plus also because there are a lot more info not seen in this image below and would require multiple images to post, and it would be better to post a text file and send that off to the person. Is there a command line tool that I can use to obtain the same text and layout? I can clean it up to look in a similar layout as in the image just above if I have to. Thanks.

Hello. To get string versionName value of field inside <manifest> key, in AndroidManifest.xml file, I use this code: function GetFileVersionName: string; var PackageManager: JPackageManager; PackageInfo : JPackageInfo; Begin PackageManager:= SharedActivity.getPackageManager; PackageInfo := PackageManager.getPackageInfo(SharedActivityContext.getPackageName, TJPackageManager.JavaClass.GET_ACTIVITIES); Result := JStringToString(PackageInfo.versionName); End; If the filed is in a meta-data key, inside <activity> section, like this... <meta-data android:name="productName" android:value="HelloWorld" /> how can change above code to retrive it? Thanks.

Prior to 11.2, I used Android Monitor to access Log.d messages from my Android apps. Monitor appears to have been deprecated, and so I have attempted to access logging through adb logcat. While this returns a large amount of logs, copying the output and performing a search for logs from my app returns nothing. I've also attempted adding parameters to filter on the app itself, such as: adb -d logcat <app name>:I *:S which returns: --------- beginning of main --------- beginning of system But nothing else. I have also tried Device Lens 1.3.0 (mentioned by Dave Nottage here), which detects the Android device, displays all processes & allows a screen capture, but clicking the play icon to display notifications only shows one message, and that's it. I had no problems accessing logs using this device and app with the previous version of RAD. I would be very grateful for any help with this matter, thanks in advance.
