Welcome to the Delphi iOS & Android Developers Community on Google+!

The Google+ Delphi Developers Community sprung another sibling!
Feel free to join up with the Delphi iOS & Android Developers Community.

The Delphi Developers Community is a relatively whine free place to discuss our programming challenges, and has just passed 2200 members, and our new iOS and Android offspring focuses on the finer details of getting the most out of the FireMonkey mobile platform - already have 125 people participating.

Then there is the growing Delphi Component Directory, where a steady flow of posts are highlighting the good stuff we may need to solve our challenges.

There even is a place to vent your anger with Delphi and Embarcadero without detracting focus from solving programming issues. If you need to rant and rage - people are all ears in Unit Number 5.

RAD Studio XE5 Easter Egg

I am the curious kind, so armed with experience from earlier versions and the will to do a little experimentation, I brought up this photo:

• Within RAD Studio XE5, do Help|About
• Hold down the Alt-key and type TEAM
• Double-click in the scrolling list of names

Click to enlarge - I can see Marco Cantù :)

Android Application Events

There are a few differences between a Windows App and an Android App that puzzled me initially. Why doesn't my application get FocusChanged Activate/Deactivate or Close when switching between or terminating apps on Android?

In this post I also test out Google+'s new support for embedding G+ posts in blogs and web pages.
