GREAT NEWS FOR ANDROID AND IOS!
GREAT NEWS FOR ANDROID AND IOS!
+Yaroslav Brovin has been working during this entire year in an awesome project called FGX Native; you probably have already seen this because there are some post (some months old). This is a new NATIVE framework that can target android and ios. In other words, you can use Delphi to create native apps for Android and iOS!
This is not firemonkey, he has created a completely new framework starting from scratch that, finally, is native. No more problems like SDK updates, broken components, controls badly painted on screen and everything. He has rewritten the bridges between Delphi and Java so that they are much more better.
Finally, he is working now on internalization. It's known that FMX had to rely on 3rd party components and embarcadero has never given a good solution. The solution that FGX native will use has the same approach that you have with Java and Android studio (there are XML files with localization that are loaded when the app starts and you'll have quick load time + native localization service).
You can find his article here: http://fire-monkey.ru/topic/5285-fgx-native-%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8-%D1%81-%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B9/
It is in russian and yaroslav suggested me to use https://translate.yandex.ru as translation tool RU->ENG and it's good. He is showing all the news about the project!
The most important thing now. The alpha period has ended and he will start a beta testing period soon; if you are interested and you would like to join, there is a slack group for this. Link: fgx-native.slack.com (he has to send out the invites)
It would be good to have a lot of people in for this so he can improve the product as much as he can if a lot of people can test this new awesome framework. For now FGX has support for Android only; iOS will come later but its development will be faster because the "background" had already been prepared for android.

ReplyDeletehow do you get to sign in to his slack web space?
ReplyDeleteYaroslav Brovin has to invite people. I think he will make a post or something else. But the project is great
ReplyDeleteAlso he told me that components like Indy will work on FGX; the library is based on the rtl. FMX components like shapes won't work instead becuase as I have said in the main post, FGX is completely different from FMX
