Delphi for Android Future

Firstly am going to be very secretive to the future of my Delphi for Android tool since others can and did steel my ideas... Profit from my idea! :-(

There will b a brand new version of Delphi for Android but more than that am not going to say or say when it will become available.

From now on I will not publish more detail about this and the other ideas/tools that am working on.

Delphi For Android: Warning: You need to manually copy the Android framework library before compile.

After you run the Delphi for Android compiler you will get the following error on the command line:

Warning: You need to manually copy the Android framework library before compile.


The compiler integrate and call Java code, you need to copy Android.java (soon to be called DAndroid.jar) to the /libs folder of your Android generated project.

To give you an update:


Am working very hard on the new compiler, toolset, components etc... Hopefully will have something ready soon.
Unfortunately this is a part-time project so my time is limited.

Focus on:

- New compiler written in Delphi itself (not C#).
- Components/libraries support for the Android SDK.
- Documentation an samples.

Delphi For Android: Invalid Android SDK Directory

When you run the compiler "dccdroid.exe" and get the following error:

"Invalid Android SDK directory, please make sure that the 'AndroidSDKDirectory' application config points to a valid Android SDK location."

There are a few things you need to check:

1. Update the "DCCDroid.exe.config" file:



Change this to point to location of your Android SDK directory.

2. Make sure that "adb.exe" can be found in that directory e.g on my location machine:

C:\Lennie\Android\android-sdk_r04-windows\android-sdk-window\adb.exe

Delphi For Android v0.4.1 Patch Release

Fix bug where AndroidSDKDirectory can point directly to your Android tools directory.
Download it now.

Delphi For Android v0.4 Release

Delphi For Android version 0.4 is ready for download.
In this version I've created binaries for Delphi 6.0.

When is the next release?
