yes more problems with AndroidLCLtest

[engkin]

I don't use CodeTyphon but I believe it is based on FPC so if you upload the source code of this example with your settings and your apk file I can try to figure out what went wrong.

[Leledumbo]

Try running with adb logcat and paste the log here.

@engkin here is the hole project :
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28434419/androidlcl.zip
The CodeTyphon uses the 2.7.1 FPC version (checked)

@ Leledumbo : the logcat is here :

Just give it up

LCL CustomDrawn is completely broken.

And even if it would work, it would still be pointless, because it does not have the look&feel of Android.

The only way to get it working, would be to write a a lcl interface creating standard Android Views with JNI

[Leledumbo]

The core problem can be seen starting from line 1407 in the logcat. Are you trying to access the clipboard? I don't think it's working for Android.

The only way to get it working, would be to write a a lcl interface creating standard Android Views with JNI

The actual reason custom drawn android was born was because creating LCL interface for Android native controls is not feasible due to differences in controls exist in both framework, or perhaps more than that. You can check attempt before custom drawn era , which calls Android views, here.

@kitsaros, I have both FPC 2.7.1 and NDK r7c. The only changes I did were related to their locations on my computer. The size of liblclapp.so file that I built is around 5 MB (precisely 5,194,207 bytes) while yours is less than 2.7 MB (2,829,591 bytes)

My second guess is that either CodeTyphon is using wrong compiler/linker or your units\arm-android\* were generated using a different NDK (not r7c). With a quick search I saw what makes me think that CT 4.5 is supposed to be used with Android NDK-r8e. Am I right? Try to use NDK-r8e with CT 4.5

Are you trying to access the clipboard? I don't think it's working for Android.

I almost thought the same, but Leledumbo had attached the same sample before and it has the same code!!

Code: [Select]

procedure Tform1.btnProgressClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  sqliteDLL : Pointer;
begin
...
  btnProgress.Caption := IntToHex(PtrUInt(sqliteDLL), 8);
  DebugLn('Button1Click');
  ProgressBar1.Position := ProgressBar1.Position + 10;
  DebugLn('Cliboard.AsText='+ClipBoard.AsText);

Notice that it has the same wrong spelling Cliboard for Clipboard. That's why I don't think it's the sample.

I think this smaller sized .so file is generated using two different  NDK versions, one to compile the sample code and the other was used to compile the other packages units\arm-android\*

[kitsaros]

using the android-ndk-r8e
i can compile successfully again the "liblclapp.so" but i get a 2,764 kb file size ... :S

[engkin]

kitsaros, if I'm right, it's not enough to compile using android-ndk-r8e. 

The object files that were generated previously need to be deleted so that the source code gets compiled again. I don't know how to do that with CodeTyphon. I tried to figure it out from their wiki. You might want to search your CT directory for a folder named something like arm-android, maybe!!

[engkin]

kitsaros, can you compile that sample for i386 instead of arm CPU? Generate an apk with .so for i386 and uploaded here and I'll be happy to try it. 

[kitsaros]

Changing the CPU family to i386 i get :

c:\codetyphon\fpc\bin\i386-win32\i386-android-ld.exe: skipping incompatible C:\Android\android-ndk-r8e\platforms\android-8\arch-arm\usr\lib\crtbegin_so.o when searching for C:\Android\android-ndk-r8e\platforms\android-8\arch-arm\usr\lib\crtbegin_so.o

I have recompiled the crosselement (arm-android) and the i386-android obtaining same results

[engkin]

Do you have these two folders?
c:\codetyphon\fpc\units\arm-android
c:\codetyphon\fpc\units\i386-android

I expect that you have the first one, but not the second, yet.

Changing the CPU family to i386 i get :

c:\codetyphon\fpc\bin\i386-win32\i386-android-ld.exe: skipping incompatible C:\Android\android-ndk-r8e\platforms\android-8\arch-arm\usr\lib\crtbegin_so.o when searching for C:\Android\android-ndk-r8e\platforms\android-8\arch-arm\usr\lib\crtbegin_so.o

You have to choose the correct path. The one you have is for arm CPU. Maybe something like:
C:\Android\android-ndk-r8e\platforms\android-8\arch-x86\usr\lib
instead of
C:\Android\android-ndk-r8e\platforms\android-8\arch-arm\usr\lib\

if you did not find it within android-8 then simply try android-14:
C:\Android\android-ndk-r8e\platforms\android-14\arch-x86\usr\lib

You'll face the same problem with another path.

I have recompiled the crosselement (arm-android) and the i386-android obtaining same results

These are just the compilers and linkers, not the object files. 

[kitsaros]

Do you have these two folders?
c:\codetyphon\fpc\units\arm-android
c:\codetyphon\fpc\units\i386-android

Yes

Adding at -FI
C:\Android\android-ndk-r8e\platforms\android-14\arch-x86\usr\lib\;C:\Android\android-ndk-r8e\toolchains\x86-4.4.3\prebuilt\windows\lib\gcc\i686-linux-android\4.4.3

i get this error :
c:\codetyphon\fpc\bin\i386-win32\i386-android-ld.exe: cannot find -lsqlite3

In general, including source directories will only lead to more trouble, since there are quickly then two sources available to the compiler, precompiled (*.o *.ppu in some units/ hierarchy) and source. This will make interpreting error messages about not finding units very difficult and dangerous.

Moreover I think the compiler can't find an .so, rather than an unit.  Object files are generally not prefixed by -l in the link.res (but maybe it is different on Android)
