Developing in Windows for Android
lazarus / 43-Android

I'm trying to write an Android application using Lazarus on Windows.

If I use Code Typhoon (4.40) I can deploy the .so inside the Android
emulator but when I click on the form (or over its components) the
application close.

Someone told me: do not use Code Typhoon, use Lazarus and Cross
compile. I try to follow what in http://wiki.freepascal.org/Android
but I think that this is a little bit obsolete.
I would like to know which FPC version I have to compile for Android
and what FPC version I have to use to compile it or, that's sound
better, an esay guide..
Thank's you

The Lazarus/FPC wiki pages have all info about needed compilers etc

If that's too complicated for you (and looking at your post it seems
likely), I'd suggest you use a ready-made solution like CodeTyphon.

If CodeTyphon doesn't work for you, please ask on their forum for
support.

Do you mean apk?

Use ddms in android ndk/sdk folders to see what errors you get.

Did you tried this http://mbs-software.org/articles.php ?
There is a article how to setup Codetyphon, create a application and
generate the apk library

Although a bit off topic, because this thread is about Codetyphon but
I can't help but bring this up...

I have created the APK from lclandroid project with Lazarus 1.0.10,
Ant Debugger, WinXP, with the help of this wiki. I can run it quite
well on Android 2.2 (API level , but it crashes on other API level
Androids (I have tested on API level 17, Android 4.2). It is almost
useless if it only works on one Android version.

I have posted about it in this thread. But unfortunately I got no
answers.

I'm using SDK developer for Android.

I've tried the article in mps-software.org but following the step but
the Pre-compiled FPC files are obsolete.

The problem is that the apk generated by me is about 800 kb while the
apk that works (found in this forum) is about 1500 Kb.

If all else fails for you, then take a look at this alternative:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,19302.0.html. It
is Pascal4Android which uses FreePascal JVM compiler.

Tried it yesterday.  To compile androidlcltest had to change the
target from Linux to android
and deselect -WR(relocatable) option under code generation. didn't
have to change paths
to android ndk / sdk which I have installed in c:\android. Also the
"so" extention is not added,
so need to rename the file or add it in the project options.
