firemonkey

I have this code (that runs under iOS with Delphi Tokyo): procedure TMainForm.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var aData: NSData; begin try try aData := nil; finally // this line triggers an exception aData.release; end; except on E: Exception do begin exit; end; end; end; Normally the exception should be caught in the except end block, but in this case it is not caught by the handler and it is propagated to the Application.OnException handler. Access violation at address 0000000100EE9A8C, accessing address 0000000000000000 Did I miss something? This is a bug (actually, a feature ) on iOS and

Assume I have a small bitmap in Firemonkey (say 32x24 pixels). So I put a TImage onto a form and in the constructor there is this code: Image1.Bitmap.Create(32, 24); if Image1.Bitmap.Canvas.BeginScene then try Image1.Bitmap.Canvas.Fill.Color := claBlack; Image1.Bitmap.Canvas.Stroke.Color := claYellow; Image1.Bitmap.Canvas.FillRect(RectF(0,0,32,24), 0, 0, AllCorners, $FF); Image1.Bitmap.Canvas.DrawLine(PointF(1,1), PointF(10,10), $FF); finally Image1.Bitmap.Canvas.EndScene; Image1.Bitmap.BitmapChanged; end; This draws a nice diagonal line on blackground. What I want to do is now parse the

Is it possible to place a TImage on an FMX form for iOS and load image (jpg) from an URL into this TImage to be displayed in the iOS app? I have tried with no success. Any hints or point in the right direction is appreciated. Drop a TButton, TImageControl and TIdHttp onto a Firemonkey form and this code will pull down an image from the web: procedure TForm1.btnReadWebImgClick(Sender: TObject); begin ReadWebImage('http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5af5f8c5f88c6c237745e9472a31410f?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG'); end; procedure TForm1.ReadWebImage(imgAddress: string); var memStream: TMemoryStream; begin

In older days I would create a TForm, place a TMyPanel on it (with overriden WM_PAINT message) and pass its Handle to a bunch of WGL functions that find a compatible pixelformat and create rendering context. Just like NeHe tutorials did it. Now there comes FireMonkey application. How to get OpenGL 1.4 rendering context there that is working on Win and iOS? EDIT: Been trying to make it to work by passing TForm.Handle (which is NativeUInt). Good news - no errors from OpenGL end, but bad news - no output on TForm either.. I'm obviously missing some critical piece here, does anyone has a working

I've heard that Delphi's NEW Rad Studio XE2 has something called FireMonkey that will allow the same code to build Windows 32, Windows 64 and MacOS applications. If this is true, this is huge. Where can I get the technical documentation that talks about FireMonkey? EDIT: I'm interested in the MacOS. Several people have asked me when I'm releasing a Mac version of my software and I keep telling them I'm not. I asked this question back in March (4 months ago) and no one said anything about FireMonkey. What version of Delphi will let me create software that runs on a Mac? MODERATOR QUESTION:
