Hi

 

Currently in the AddressBook sample app it display Arabic letters scrambled like

FMX does not natively support RTL. However, it is possible to use third-party libraries that enable RTL in FMX. Skia4Delphi is one of them: https://github.com/skia4delphi/skia4delphi#right-to-left

This mean I have to draw at canvas level inside each row in TListView ?

 

ACanvas.DrawSimpleText('"Each dream that you', 2, 25, LFont, LPaint);

No, it means you can install Skia4Delphi and use it in your project, and after following the steps pointed out to you, you can use "right to left" as originally expected.

Not! This part is exemplifying the direct use of the API. It's exactly like @Sherlock said, just replace the default FMX renderer with Skia's renderer ("GlobalUseSkia := True;" in your dpr). But there are a few more notes in the RightToLeft section in readme, which I've printed here:

directt link   fmx rtl arabic

I will put in the link a zip file containing three files

Step 1: Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\17.0\source\fmx

Step 2: Copy everything in it to your project path

Step3: Then copy the three files that I will give you and replace the existing ones

Step 4: Press Shift+F11 from Delphi and select all the libraries that we have placed in your project path.

The 5plan: bulid the program (note that you do not run, but do bulid). You will get an error message, but do not worry.

Step 6: Delete all the libraries that we added from Delphi... From the right menu, select all libraries, then press delete.

Step 7: Press Shift + F11 and add the following three libraries only FMX. FontGlyphs. Android. pas FMX. FontGlyphs. pas FMX. TextLayout. GPU

Step 8: Run.

you will get an Android application written in Arabic
