I use the FMX TGrid control but I really miss some of the DevExpress TcxGrid behaviours yet I would like to go cheap this time and use OSS one. I am in search for a grid with: * Multi-column sorting * Ability to show/hide columns from UI * Filter Control (which shows a hyeretical tree control in a new form allowing picking columns, oeprators and operands) ala the DevExpress one * Bookmarks/Goto to Bookmark * Footer * In-place eidt for numeric and text * Display of custom drawn cell with images in cells * reoder columns with drag and drop * resize columns from ui * freezed column * Inplace seearch (go to the next found row with substring martch while typing) * grouping is optional I am aware of: * https://www.devexpress.com/products/vcl/fmx/data-grid/ * https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/tmsfmxgrid7.asp * https://www.devmachines.com/download-for-delphi.html But I am in search for a free control

The SwipeTransitionEffect does not work correctly in the Right to Left direction, it seems MousePoint cannot go negative. exp. SwipeTransitionEffect1.CornerPoint := TPointF.Create(250, 300); Bottom Right Corner of the image SwipeTransitionEffect1.MousePoint := TPointF.Create(-50, 250); Does not work correctly! Worked ok in 11.3 and before SwipeTransitionEffect1.CornerPoint := TPointF.Create(0, 300); Bottom Left Corner of the image SwipeTransitionEffect1.MousePoint := TPointF.Create(300, 250); Here it works as it should. Does anyone know if there are any changes made to the FMX Filters in Patch 1?

I am developing an android application on Delphi 12. My application connects to a DataSnap server. Some times, but not every time, my application throws this exception. Once when the application starts, the second time when a new form is opened and sometimes everything works without error I suppose everything crashes on line 312 in this module Those any one know the reason of this?

I have a problem when my andoroid device lost wifi and connection broke. I can not reestablished that in ordinary maner. My andorid application have TSQLConnection object that connects to DataSnap server application. Everything works fine until I issue network problem. When wifi temporarly lost connection TSQLConnection also lost connection and I get Socket error #103 when I try to open TClientDataSet and that is OK. When I try it once again it works fine. I supose my application successfuly reconnect and open the query. But when I tryed it for the third time I have Socket error # 104. And again. Once OK another time Socket error #104. There is no problems when wifi connection is stable. What should I do?

Hi, The TListView component offers just a swipe left to display the Delete button. While it's possible to customize the text with something else, it fires an event only to an Item "swipe left". I'd like to be able to swipe both directions, right and left, in order to check/uncheck (select/unselect) the current item. Any way to easily implement this? Or any available FMX component (even paid) that extends/derives from TListViews? Thanks for any help and suggestion

Specs: Delphi XE7, FMX, Win7, Galaxy s10+ phone Android 12. I've have compile and deployed many apps over to my Android 12 device, galaxy s10+ phone. Earlier this year (2024) I stopped working on those projects I used to compile in this setup/specs (listed above). Today, I am trying to deploy an app and now I can not because of the 'Unsafe app blocked message'. I recall seeing something similar in late Dec/2023 on this phone, but there was a button to allow or not, and now I don't see that on this message screen given on my phone. How can I resolve this?

Could someone help me solve the problem with display and response to touch of the button? The test application contains a simple keyboard made of buttons (TButton), has configured TButtonStyleObject and everything works correctly but only when using a mouse. When the application is running on a device with a touch screen, then the visualization elements do not work. Could someone suggest how to easily solve this problem?

My App with FMX on Windows has a standard TChart with a around 10 fastline series. Every series has a lot of data-points. After loading the data in the chart I will just set a tPanel( also on the form) from visible:= False to true. The displaying of the panel takes about 4 seconds. The same when hiding the panel again. To show this issue I have made a small test app, see attached. The testcase has these steps: 1. click fillchart - this takes some time, but this is not my issue 2. click showpanel and see how long it takes. Same when click and pull the border of the form to enlarge the form. (Chart ist not aligned as client so the size does not change) The app show the amount of chart repaint events in a label. This is done with a timer and in the event afterdraw of the chart the amount will be increased. So if you playing with the app size, clicking the chart, moving over the legend, click in the memo and so on you see that there are a lot of repaint events. You will also see some commented lines in the code what I have tried to fix this issue. I have made a call to embarcadero and the technician has checked it and the result ist that this should be a tchart issue. So I will be happy for all ideas and help. Thanks a lot.

Hello I am porting a project to FMX (from VCL). I use a TSaveDialog with Filter for the file extensions : SaveDialog1.Filter := 'Acrobat file PDF|*.pdf|'+ 'Excel file(*.xls)|*.xls|'; As the user has choice for some extensions, I use the 'OnTypeChange' event to know the chosen extension. But when I change the extension this event does'nt fire, but the 'OnShow' event fires ! I tried TOpenDialog with the same problem. Some informations : * Delphi Pro 10.3.1 (I tried Delphi 10.3.3) * Event 'OnFolderChange' does'nt fire. Any idea ? Is there any option I missed ? Or a known bug ? Thx

When compiling delphi fmx app using xcode 15.3 and 15.4 (beta) with IOS 17.4. The Delphi IDE returns the following error "Debbuging the application on device running IOS 17 or later is currently not supported." I urgently need to debug my app but I can't even use the IOS simulator. I'm using Delphi 12 but I've already tried it in Delphi 11.3

Website: github.com/viniciusfbb/skia4delphi Skia4Delphi is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for Delphi based on Google's Skia Graphics Library (skia.org). Google's Skia Graphics Library serves as the graphics engine for Google Chrome and Chrome OS, Android, Flutter, Xamarin, Mozilla Firefox and Firefox OS, and many other products. Skia provides a more robust Canvas, being very fast and very stable, with hundreds of features for drawing 2D graphics, in addition to a text shaping engine designed to render texts in the most diverse languages with right-to-left support (such as the Persian language), full support for loading SVG files, support for creating PDF files, support for rendering Lottie files (verotized animations created in Adobe After Effects), integration with the GPU, among countless other cool features. Skia's idea is similar to Firemonkey's, the same codebase used in an OS will work the same on other platforms. It is also possible to design using the CPU in independent background threads. Skia also has native codecs, of course if you don't use the SKCodec class, when loading an encoded image it will give priority to using the platform's native codec, but it is possible to use its codec, for example for jpeg files it uses libjpeg-turbo and for png files libpng which maybe in certain environments may perform better than native. See some examples: Advanced shapes Advanced text rendering / shaping Svg Lottie files And much more...

I am a hobby developer so I use CE. I have an Android app developed in the FireMonkey framework. I want to connect it to an Azure SQL database but I have found the Community Edition restrictions seem to prevent it. CE contains ADO components in the normal Delphi IDE but the FireMonkey IDE doesn't. FireMonkey in CE contains many of the FireDAC components but not an MSSQL driver. There are some 3rd party components but the ones I have found are too expensive for me. Does anyone know any way I can connect my Community Edition FireMonkey Android app to an Azure SQL database without paying hundreds of dollars?

I had compatibility issues with the connection of PAServer to the virtual Mac I am using. Giving a brief context, I am using a virtual Mac through a service provided by MacInCloud (https://www.macincloud.com/), which offers an installed and updated PAServer on the machine from the following link: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Installing_the_Platform_Assistant_on_a_Mac The problem is that the version of Delphi 11.3 we are using requires compatibility with version 13.3.12.7 of PAServer, but the download from the official Embarcadero page provides PAServer version 13.3.12.6. As the Mac machine belongs to the personnel at MacInCloud, they do not accept the installation of a .pkg that does not come from an official Embarcadero download link. (I don't have administrator permissions, so I can't install it myself.) So, the main question is, how can I get in touch with someone from Embarcadero to request an update to the official Download link?

Hi, I take many photos with my Android phone. And now I need a way to Add some search text to the image so that I can find the photos. With a custom image viewer app I will create in conjunction with the metadata reader/writer, my search method would be to open the phone's Gallary (I don't know how to do this yet) and then enter a search word and only photos that match will show, like the way they do when you are in the Gallary app. I searched around and see references for ccr-exif but it is for Delphi VCL, not FMX/Android. Is there a Delphi unit that provides this or someplace where I can download a working project to accomplish this ? TIA.

HI there i just made a try, i started there! To work on the Android platform using compile directives, i needed to make some modifications to the code in several files. Lets focus on 'svn.overbyte.be/svn/icsv9/Source/OverbyteIcsUtils.pas'.The classTIcsIntegerList is essentially a wrapper around the TList class, since this code was designed for use in a Windows platform target, on a different platform, i needed to make some adjustments. type TIcsIntegerList = class(TObject) private FList : TList<Integer>; // Use TList<Integer> instead of TList function GetCount: Integer; function GetFirst: Integer; function GetLast: Integer; function GetItem(Index: Integer): Integer; procedure SetItem(Index: Integer; const Value: Integer); public constructor Create; virtual; destructor Destroy; override; function IndexOf(Item: Integer): Integer; function Add(Item: Integer): Integer; virtual; procedure Assign(Source: TIcsIntegerList); virtual; procedure Clear; virtual; procedure Delete(Index: Integer); virtual; property Count: Integer read GetCount; property First: Integer read GetFirst; property Last : Integer read GetLast; property Items[Index: Integer] : Integer read GetItem write SetItem; default; end; // ... other codes { TIcsIntegerList } function TIcsIntegerList.Add(Item: Integer): Integer; begin Result := FList.Add(Item); // No need to typecast Item to Pointer end; procedure TIcsIntegerList.Clear; begin FList.Clear; end; constructor TIcsIntegerList.Create; begin FList := TList<Integer>.Create; // Use TList<Integer> instead of TList end; procedure TIcsIntegerList.Delete(Index: Integer); begin FList.Delete(Index); end; destructor TIcsIntegerList.Destroy; begin FList.Free; inherited; end; function TIcsIntegerList.GetCount: Integer; begin Result := FList.Count; end; function TIcsIntegerList.GetFirst: Integer; begin Result := FList.First; // No need to typecast FList.First to Integer end; function TIcsIntegerList.GetLast: Integer; begin Result := FList.Last; // No need to typecast FList.Last to Integer end; // ... other codes but i faced a lot of errors when i target android platform and compiled, it gives me errors like: [DCC Error] OverbyteIcsUtils.pas(5931): E2023 Function needs result type [DCC Error] OverbyteIcsUtils.pas(5933): E2003 Undeclared identifier: 'FList' [DCC Error] OverbyteIcsUtils.pas(5933): E2003 Undeclared identifier: 'Item' [DCC Error] OverbyteIcsUtils.pas(5938): E2004 Identifier redeclared: 'TIcsIntegerList' [DCC Error] OverbyteIcsUtils.pas(5940): E2003 Undeclared identifier: 'FList' [DCC Error] OverbyteIcsUtils.pas(5945): E2037 Declaration of 'TIcsIntegerList' differs from previous declaration ...: So how to fix it? Or can anyone point me to the right direction?

Hello, I am using Delphi 10.4.2 I have a project that I developed about three years ago for a specific Android 5.1.1 device built in China. I do not remember what Delphi version I was using at that development time three years ago. Today, I need to do some modifications to that project. There is no problem compiling. When I try to debug run, I get error "Failure INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK" at deployment phase. When I check for min supported Android version is listed as Android 5.1 here https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Android_Devices_Supported_for_Application_Development I do not know if anything changed for Delphi 10.4.2 as I could not find a specific documentation about it. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Thanks & Regards, Ertan

I have a question in regards to the new SKI support. When I 'enabled' SKIA in the IDE there was no noticeable change to the project or settings that I found. I could 'disable' it on the IDE as well. What I finally noticed was in the executable folder there was now a sk4d.dll. If I move the file out of that directory the application still ran. (I was expecting some sort of load error (?)).. My question- so even though the application is self contained otherwise - the 32 bit or 64 bit sk4d.dll file needs now to be deployed also? Thanks in advance

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?

Hi there, I would like to open my app (windows, macos, ios, android & linux) clicking on a link (inside an email for example), and pass to the app a parameter which is inside the link. Is it possible ? Regards

Hello, I'm trying to deploying a Delphi FMX application to iPhone IOS. I have no problems on connecting with the MAC but I have an internal API error on executing (please see attached file) Delphi version: 11.2 Patch 1 IOS version: 16.6 X-code version: 14.3.1 Can anyone help me? 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.

I'm working on an Android 13 FireMonkey mobile app in Delphi 11.3 which has a TabControl with four tabs. I'm having trouble with managing the Androids Navigation buttons and wondering if it's a preferred practice to hide the buttons and have the user use gestures instead. Right now, if the user presses the back button, I'm capturing the key in the OnKeyUp on my apps MainForm via if Key = vkHardwareBack then I move back a tab and/or display an exit dialog if the user is on the first tab. That works fine, but when the user taps the home or overview buttons and then comes back to my app, it starts from the beginning. What is the recommended process on how to make an Android app behave if the user taps on any of Androids Navigation buttons (back/home/overview)? Is it considered a best practice to hide them and have the user use gestures instead?

Hello, I'm trying to create a combobox that I can style to look like this. I'd **LIKE** to do it solely in the WYSIWYG style designer. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how even to change the font size in the Style designer? I'm admittedly such a noob in this, but I'm at a total loss. Thanks. - Mike
