[Robert William Blennerhed]

In Android java, my Pictures for my Aura Migraine app is included in the apk file.
Is there a way to include Pictures in the Lazarus/Freepascal exefile?
Or do i have to send them in a mapp with the aura migraine exefile?
Sincerely
Bob

Yes, you can include images into the exe file.

Try this:
01. Lazarus main menu > Project > Project Options
02. Project Options > Resources > Add

Then this is the the example code to load the image:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. unit Unit1;
2.  
3. {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
4.  
5. interface
6.  
7. uses
8.   Classes, Forms, Controls, Graphics, ExtCtrls;
9.  
10. type
11.  
12.   { TForm1 }
13.  
14.   TForm1 = class(TForm)
15.     Image1: TImage;
16.     procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
17.   end;
18.  
19. var
20.   Form1: TForm1;
21.  
22. implementation
23.  
24. {$R *.lfm}
25.  
26. { TForm1 }
27.  
28. procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
29. var
30.   Stream: TResourceStream;
31. begin
32.   // Get the background image
33.   Stream := TResourceStream.Create(HInstance, 'IMG', RT_RCDATA);
34.   Image1.Picture.LoadFromStream(Stream);
35.   Stream.Free;
36. end;
37.  
38. end.

You can download the zip file for testing.
