You need to use the native timer to android in a service

It's a long standing issue that a service cannot use the FMX.Types unit (directly or indirectly). As per the SO link that Todd referred to, you could use TAndroidTimer from this unit. (which does not use any FMX.xxx units)

What's TAndroidTimer? So, I need Indy components too, and TNetHTTPClient, and more other components.

It's in the link that you quoted from my reply.

Indy and TNetHTTPClient do not use FMX units, so those will be OK.

O'K, but i can't add CameraComponent, how fix it? 

And why FMX doesn't work in Android Service?

TCameraComponent uses FMX units, so whatever camera functionality you require, you would need to implement it some other way.

There is a report from years ago (actually filed by me) in the old Quality Portal (unfortunately it's not accessible right now, and has not been for a few days) which may have the exact details - it is related to FMX units expecting an Activity instance to be present, but services do not have one.
