Does Delphi XE5 firemonkey work on current Samsung tablets? [Edit]I am being told that Delphi XE5 with firemonkey will not work on the current range of Samsung tablets even if they have Android 4 is that true?
If so I will be very disappointed having invested thousands of pounds and a few hundred hours to adopt the technology on the promise I can now deploy to Android mobile devices. When I run even the most simple Hello World app I simply get a black screen on my brand new Samsung tablet. I am told it only works on Android devices with a ARMv7 CPU supporting NEON instruction sets. If this is the case developers need to know that I have been told today ...
FiremonkeyI am so dammed frustrated with firemonkey and livebindings.
The VCL + DB Controls were fast, consistent, and stable. This fmx
framework is crap. It's slow on my i5 Macbook. I'd be embarrassed to
put out an app like this. The help is lousy and apparently very few
people are using it based on my failed Google searches. I can see why.
Livebindings is cute when you have a few fields, but it a rats nest when
you have a moderately complex form and have to wire up dozens of
controls. There is no official support for nullable fields in
livebindings which blows my mind....
Installing components for FireMonkey HD and FireMonkey iOSHi,
How do I install components for both FireMonkey HD and FireMonkey iOS?
I have one package 'FMXMyFireMonkeyControl' and 'FMIFireMonkeyControl'
which both point to the same file with the same registration
'TFireMonkeyControl'.
If I compile one package (FMXMyFireMonkeyControl) it installs correctly,
then change the include file (FMCompile.INC) to compile for IOS
(FMIFireMonkeyControl) which is included in the
FMX.FireMonkeyControl.pas file:
{$I FMCOMPILE.INC}
uses
{$IFDEF COMPILEIOS}
FMX_Types, FMX_Objects, FMX_Forms, FMX_Dialogs, FMX_Effe...
FireMonkey and TEdit.OnChangeI am converting a vcl application to FireMonkey and I must stay it is tedious.
In the VCL application I have a TEdit Box which I initialise (in the OnShow event) with
{code}
ed_EntryString.OnChange := EditBox_NotifiesListbox;
ed_EntryString.OnEnter := EditBox_NotifiesListbox;
{code}
When typing in the edit box the EditBox_NotifiesListbox gets executed as expected.
In the Firemonkey version I have (in a self constructed Show event (I also tried in the OnCreate event))
{code}
ed_EntryString.OnChange := EditBox_NotifiesListbox;
ed_EntryString.OnEnter := EditBox_NotifiesListb...
Making Firemonkey more compatible with DelphiI have programmed in Delphi since 1995 Delphi1
I am now evaluating Delphi XE4.
It boggles my mind, why embarcadero has lost the most important aspects of Delphi.
Simplicity and Fast User Interface creation.
I can easily see how Firemonkey can be improved to bring it in line with traditional Delphi Techniques by doing the following.
1. All Firemonkey controls need a data aware counterpart.
2. Firemonkey Styles need to be converted to TControl descendants.
3. ie. TLayout goes to TPanel ( TFMXPanel )
4. ie. TRectangle does to TFrame TFMXFrame )
5. LiveBindings gets placed un...
Delphi XE2, OSX and FireMonkey?1. Does anyone know if developing with FireMonkey will be the only way to develop for OSX with XE2?
2. Does anyone know if you will need to compile on a Mac for OSX, or will XE2 cross compile?
I know this will all come out during the world tour, but I'm just trying to get some idea so I can start planning.
1. Yes, I think for now it will be the only way. But you can probably build a native UI for OSX by directly using the API, like you can also develop Win32 applications without using the VCL.
2. XE2 will only be available for Windows, but it will compile for other platforms.

How to "passwordchar" a TEdit in FiremonkeyHello:
There is no PasswordChar property on the TEdit in firemonkey. How can I hide what the user is typing, ie. password field. I would normally just set the passwordchar property to "*".
Thanks, Sidney
just set the password property to true

Android Firemonkey SOAP Client Not WorkingI ran into the following problem and have opened a ticket in Quality Central: #122209. Please stop by and vote for it if you are experiencing the same issue. If by chance you figured this out, please by all means take all the credit and help a brother out. (Example in the QC ticket)
After importing a WSDL, making a SOAP call to a web service results in an Access Violation on Android.
The same code executed on either WIN32 or Apple IOS works correctly for both HTTP and HTTPS.
I have attempted this on webservices that communicate via HTTP and HTTPS. I have used multiple different webs...
Delphi FireMonkey project / testComplete and MSAAHi
I am actualy working on a new team project developped using FireMonkey. We want to create automated tests with TestComplete which is already used to run tests on some VCL projects.
Unfortunatly, we discovered that TestComplete is not directly compatible with FireMonkey application, it only sees the windows but not the controls on it.
Making some research we, found that TestComplete is able to identify controls thanks to MSAA. So we created a really short project (only one form with some controls) using the FireMonkey Accessibility Pack in order to look at TestComplete's behavio...
Master/Detail Does not Work Properly with FireMonkeyThere is an error with the master/detail functionality in Delphi XE2 that needs resolved rather quickly. The bug occurs
as follows:
On a form (FireMonkey application) I have placed two stringgrids, a master and
detail grid. As I step through the master grid, the records in the detail grid
appear to update as expected. However, if the record count (>1) in the
previously viewed detail grid is the same record count as the active detail
grid, the detail grid does not update correctly. Only the first record in the
detail grid is properly updated. The remaining records are not update...
