TLocationSensor on Android 12

[Andy.B 1]

Good morning,
I was a little surprised today.

The program in which I use localization, written on Delphi 10.4 works on Android 11, but not on Android 12.
So I compiled it on Delphi 11 and it still doesn't work on Android 12 - on older versions of Android (10, 11) it's ok.
Did you manage to run Location Demo on Android 12? Like other programs with TLocationSensor component, this one doesn't work for me either.
While debugging I get the message "Project Location.apk raised exception class Aborted (6)." and the program ends.
I don't really know what to do with it now, can you please give me a hint?

 

Best wishes,
Andrew

It looks like it will require a change to the JNI Bridge to fix it (unless I'm mistaken). I shudder as to whether that might delay it until Delphi 12 😞

A workaround is provided by Marc Schwarzkopf at https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-35804

For Delphi 10.4 you find 

Androidapi.JNI.Location.pas in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\source\rtl\android

System.Android.Sensors.pas in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\source\rtl\common

Remember to build and check that both modified files are compiled into the following directories:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\lib\android\debug

C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\lib\android\release

C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\lib\android64\debug

C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\lib\android64\release

If not, you can copy the sourcefiles into those directories, which I had to do, and it works for me on Android 12 too.

Indeed, the workaround proposed by Marc Schwarzkopf works very well.

I too receive an error message when I use my Username and Password that works for other parts of Embarcadero website.

Does this https://quality.embarcadero.com/login.jsp require a different registration?

OK figured it out, you MUST use your "username" NOT "email address" as Username field

Where is the workaround currently located? Or can someone just post the steps here. All of the steps. Not just some of them. Thanks!
