Android Module Wizard

[Leledumbo]

Can I use the offical build Lazarus(now 1.2.4 with FPC 2.6.4)?

Lazarus 1.2.4 is OK, but FPC must be 2.7.1 since 2.6.4 contains no proper Android support.

Thanks for the answer. Maybe others already said it but there is a bug in the Android Modul configure window. The Ant and SDK browse buttons are swapped.

Hi greenzyzyzy,

In my experiments, all LCL dependencies failed!

Thank you!

PS. LCLBase ( LResources) is OK, for component icon!
      flc-image is OK!
      freetype is OK (please, see in this forum!)

old question,does TBitmap or TMemoryStream can use in Android Module Wizard?
it seems it is compiled ok.but i have not test.have you test?

Sorry, but I can not find clear documentation and well-argued on this topic.

How to start from scratch?

[jmpessoa]

Hi xinyiman, there are:

"readme.txt"

"fast_tutorial_eclipse_users.txt"

"fast_tutorial_ant_users.txt"

ref. folder "LazAndroidWizard"  [ https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=78D6F726E8F0C522%21237]

But If you can enumerate your questions I can try to help!

Welcome!

sorry , i can not open this link.
can you add the program to https://github.com/jmpessoa/lazandroidmodulewizard  ?

[jmpessoa]

Hi  greenzyzyzy, can you try this?

Hi,
I played with android during 1 week, using Android Module Wizard.
Very nice tool !
I'm using the ant process to compile and build apk.
I have questions about themes. I'm trying using the Holo theme light, but i always have froyo style interfaces. Did someone succeeded to apply native theme (i targeted android 4.4 in sdk target).
And what about strings.xml, i don't know if it's possible to get values from strings.xml to have multi language interfaces. If it's possible and if someone has a piece of code to show...
Thanks in advance

Since AMW use LCL style resources, I think you should use the same approach for multilingual apps. The same way as the desktop apps. The problem is everytime you change strings.xml, R.java is automatically regenerated and you will need a dynamic JNI wrapper to be able to call the entries in the R class. It's not impossible, but you will need R.java JNI wrapper.

Hi,

@thierrydijoux,

You can try modify this line,

Code: [Select]

android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

in "AndroidManifest.xml"

Well, You can try change "styles.xml" too:  [ .....\res\values\styles.xml ]

@Leledumbo, you got played with new "form designer" version? 

Thanks!

@jmpessoa and @Leledumbo :Thanks for your reply

@Leledumbo : how can i have or genrate the R.java JNI wrapper ? I think it's the same thing for all resources (bitmap etc).
Managing translations in the generated .so is not really a problem, but managing bitmap for different screens resolutions can be tricky. I think the R.java JNI wrapper could be quite usefull.

@jmpessoa : have you try to access the android actionbar with fpc ?

[Leledumbo]

@Leledumbo, you got played with new "form designer" version? 

Is it in the github already?

The same as creating other JNI wrapper. jmpessoa should be able to tell you what to do to create a JNI wrapper in general with his AMW.
