Delphi Formatter Question. I know the built-in Delphi formatter will generate styles such as: if A DoSomething; or for i := 0 to 10 do begin DoSomething; end; where the indent appears to be a fixed 2 spaces but I'd like to have the DoSomething under the A oe rhw begin under ther i, eg: if A DoSomething; I can't seem to find an option to set the indent distance in the formatter? I assume there isn't one?

I hope somebody can give me some feedback on an idea how to simplify some of my code: I have a lot of global arrays (Tarray ) and a lot of For loops to read and fill data. When filling data I check for Length of array if it needs resizing: SetLength(Array, 100); vIdx := 0; for i := 0 to n do begin // Check array size if vIdx > High(Array) then SetLength(Array, Length(Array * 2); ... Array[vIdx] := ... Inc(vIdx); end; Sometimes when I have multiple for loops on the same array in 1 method, I simplified by creating a local method CheckArray that checks for length and resizes if needed: // local method procedure CheckArray(aArrat: Tarray ; aIdx: integer); ... And I just call CheckArray(...) in For loop. The code is much neater. And now I'm thinking of just creating CheckArray() for all types of arrays I have, with overload, so I can call CheckArray() with any array type from any For or other loops. So, this would look like: procedure CheckArray(aArray: Tarray ; aIdx: i...

Did I miss something ? I've tried to add a custom image loader for FMX with TBitmapCodecManager.RegisterBitmapCodecClass Then I call TextureMaterialSource1.Texture.LoadFromFile TBitmapCodecManager.LoadFromFile calls TImageTypeChecker.GetType that returns ONLY predefined image types ! (gif, bmp, png, tiff, jpg) I think that TImageTypeChecker should returns the filename extension when it can't identify the image content.

I've recently started exploring Android development. I'd like to ask how you debug the apps. I have Delphi in a VM and I use an Android mobile but the whole debugging process is very slow. I've tried some emulators but they are even worst and some of them don't work in VMs. Any suggestions? I've also seen some videos with a VNC connection? Anyone has any guides on this? Thanks

What's the easiest (ie., least coding) way to map an enum to a const string and vice versa? (Can attributes be used on enum values yet?) eg., type TMyColors = (mcRed, mcGreen, mcBlue); How to do: TMyColors[mcRed].AsString --> 'Red' and TMyColors['Red'] --> mcRed I know these are not syntactically correct, but you get the idea. (I realize it's easy to use a Case stmt on a TMyColors value to get a string, but the opposite is not possible since we can't use strings as Case discriminants, which requires a lengthy if...then...else if ... mess, or an array.)

Solutions include either: if update pushed Inc(allowed update count to allow customer to update if needed), or, quit selling broken update subscriptions you cannot act on. Seriously, I don't have time for this. You put more energy into spamming me than making sure the product works for me. Grr

Having been a little underwhelmed by the performance of TStreamReader when reading huge text files line by line, I attempted to roll my own. I managed to implement something that was 5 times faster on my test files (800MB of UTF-16LE). This simple Python script with open(filename, 'r', encoding='utf-16-le') as f: for line in f: pass was twice as fast again so clearly there is more that could be done. The Delphi equivalent was for Line in TLineReader.FromFile(filename, TEncoding.Unicode) do ; So it is at least quite elegant to use. A part of me wonders whether there already exists Delphi code that performs a similar task. Does anybody know if there is anything out there?

I see they didn't fix the broken documentation tab in 10.2.2 2004 (professional). It’s not a show stopper but a nuisance to fix oneself. And for new developers it doesn't look too good.

Since build 1978 is broken I SHOULD download and install the 2004. I know that embarcadero releases broken versions every time since tokyo and it's still going with this trend, I'd like to ask: - Does the 2004 fix the tab sliding animation bug? - Does it fix something else that was broken in the 1978 vcl? I really need to know if you can confirm the first question please! Note: I am pretty pissed, I am tired to pay for something that doesn't improve. I am investing money, I really hope that they will improve delphi in the next release or I'll be forced to run away!

Just over a year ago, I wrote a blog post where I listed some ideas for enhancing the Delphi language. In that post, I showed 20+ language features that would not break existing code, but would bring some modern language constructs to the language, and help us write less, but more expressive code. So, 12 months on, what's changed? - Sadly, absolutely nothing. Yes, there's a roadmap feature for 10.3 that says nullable types, but that's it. BTW, I never mentioned nullable types in the post a year ago, because they were already on a roadmap or mentioned by embarcadero. I guess resources (people) are in short supply when you are constantly chasing the latest breaking change in ios or andriod. sigh https://www.finalbuilder.com/resources/blogs/postid/750/delphi-language-enhancements

- In the second half of 2018, Play will require that new apps and app updates target a recent Android API level. This will be required for new apps in August 2018, and for updates to existing apps in November 2018. This is to ensure apps are built on the latest APIs optimized for security and performance. - *In August 2019, Play will require that new apps and app updates with native libraries provide 64-bit versions in addition to their 32-bit versions.* - Additionally, in early 2018, Play will start adding a small amount of security metadata on top of each APK to further verify app authenticity. You do not need to take any action for this change. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/12/improving-app-security-and-performance.html

Maybe we need a vote here but personally I’d like the next update from Emb to NOT contain any new features at all - just a huge bundle of bug fixes. We’ve all been waiting patiently for them to fix things yet they decide a new dark theme is more important than quality control. Introducing so many new bugs while still leaving so many unfixed is absolute madness. I’m still on Berlin and looks like I’m stuck here again despite 2 updates for Tokyo. Android still isn’t working (tab animations are now broken), and a new FMX Windows/OS X project seems unlikely to be possible due to a minimise bug that’s been in FMX since Seattle... Is there too much pressure from above to cram features I wonder? Maybe their community aren’t abandoning the product fast enough to make the Emb management realise the extent of the problem. I feel sorry for the poor dev team who I appreciate are probably working really hard. I just wouldn’t run a business like this - nor would I have a business anymore if I tried ...

I like having the new features and components when Embarcadero releases new version, but I hate it when they introduce bugs where there was none. From 10.2.0 to 10.2.1 (or .2) they introduced 2 bugs and I still trying to figure out this second one. I have custom control made of multiple FMX controls (TPath, Rectangles, Layout and TLabel). My control, in 10.2.0, works without issue under windows and iOs. But with 10.2.1 (or .2) I have TLabel object that does not display. If I change the order of creation of my label objects, then the label that does not display is different. This is frustrating because it is for sure Delphi that has an issue but I cannot find a work around. I will post an example later. But I thought I would ask just in case it rings a bell to someone.

Hi, I am having a weird issue. I have an iOS/Windows app that i designed last year that was working perfectly fine. now, i need to do some update to it. So i upgraded everything to the latest, MAC, Delphi 10.2.1, XCode, iOS 11... So i am all to the latest. the issue is I am using tMediaPlayerControl to display a video and only the audio plays. The video is blank. it is the same for IOS and Windows. If i ran the demo videoplayback, the videos plays correctly. Not sure what can cause it. the only difference between my app and the demo app is that my mediaplayer control is children of a tlayout which is animated to enter the main screen upon activation. Any one had similar issue with the TMediaPlayerControl?

Document tab fix for 10.2.2

Hello, Don't you think that the recent files listbox is to small in Tokyo 10.2.2 ?

be nice if the migration tool handled the GetIt installs too

AnimateFloatWait seems to completely broken on android with the new update, AnimateFloat doesn’t seem to be affected though. Would report it on QC but can’t remember my username or password... was hoping to release an app tomorrow but now having to debug/step through fix.ani.pas to try and find the issue... will create a report when I get time tomorrow. Easy to reproduce, 1 button, 1 rectangle. On button click try and animate the rectangle with the above method. Freeze! Force Close :-( If anyone has an idea of a quick fix for this it would be really appreciated.

iOS 10.2.2 Issue Hi Anyone else had an app throw: Cannot begin rendering scene for 'TContextIOS' when converting a 10.2.1 app? Displayed when the first form is being shown. Cheers Vince

Since RAD Studio 10.2.2 introduced IDE theming, are there any guides on supporting IDE theming for third-party plugins? (Light/Dark/Custom VCL Styles)

Could somebody confirm the TAddressBook component for accessing contacts in Tokyo10.2.2 is broken on iOS? It was working before and I upgraded Delphi right before I’m ready to release my app to take advantage of the Android improvements and now I’m a bit stuck :-( It requests access permission but doesn’t populate the list of contacts from the address book... I understand that this could be Apples fault possibly due to changes in the api at their end but hopefully there is a quick fix to get this working again. Thanks in advance! Graham

ada yang bisa bantu saya, bagaimana cara membuatnya aplikasi sistem pakar android?

Delphi 10.2.2: Is there an easy way to get the name of the current method into a variable? Why? I put a lot of debugging in my code. Specifically in event/methods, typically, I follow this template. (SEE BELOW) It basically involves copy/pasting the method name into a CONST and then passing that CONST into my debug-logging system. However, as you can image, copy/pasting this is pretty stupid. Last I looked, I found some pretty complicated RTTI functions, but didn't quite get them to work. I just grep'd the code, I've done this around 900x, so I'm hoping to find something that is reusuable and preferably can be just called once for the method. NOTE: I was hoping to find something that would also work for non-method functions. procedure TFMyForm.DoSomethingImportant(Sender : TObject); const METHOD_NAME = 'TFMyForm.DoSomethingImportant'; var MyVariable : string; begin _LoggingDebug.Send(format('%s()::START', [METHOD_NAME])); // * Do Stuff an...

PAServer for Mac - 10.2.2 Hi I've just installed 10.2.2 on to a fresh VM on my Mac from ISO. When I looked for the PAServer for Mac in c:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\19.0\PAServer, there's just a WIndows installer. The last release didn't include the correct version IIRC, now they've given up completely is seems......

Originally shared by Benjamin “BeRo” Rosseaux My Delphi update subscription license is expired, so if you do want, that my stuff at https://github.com/BeRo1985 stays compatible with the each latest Delphi version, you can me at https://www.patreon.com/bero or support me in an other more direct way, so that I can resubscribe/buy a new Delphi update subscription license (with Mobile addon) sooner or later for the sadly new price, otherwise I must enforcedly drop the Delphi compatibility in future, because I have no more access to newer Delphi versions then, so that my projects will be enforcedly FreePascal-only in future. And just for as info, I've Delphi 10.2 Release 1 Professional with Mobile Addon in the moment, and I've already no more access to the 10.2 Release 2 update. https://www.patreon.com/bero

FYI: GExperts (1.3.8.50) crashes when Tokyo 10.2.2 starts up but seems to survive once Delphi is up and running.
