Hi,

"You must register to be able to distribute your products through Google
Play. There is a one time $25 registration fee charged for a Google Play
Developer Console account."
Ah, ok. Thanks for clarification.
2. Android development
I myself used fpc-jvm, its really great to see it working on a real
device - really good job..
... but for starters it's really the best thing to start with java as
there are much more information / samples / docs around...
Eclipse with google's adb is a good IDE [although somewhat slow :) ] to
develop and debug android apps...
It's Eclipse... that is enough reason for me to avoid it...
The main problem I had with fpc-jvm is, that:
- naming makes you think "around two corners", especially when trying to
understand a java sample and writing pascal code
eg. Android.Widget.Button becomes AWButton
- Code becomes really un-pascalish as one has (?) to use java types, you
have to write things like
---
JLString(' am' +
String(ATFDateFormat.getDateFormat(self).format(JUDate.Create(start)).toString)
);
----
and "this Pascal" has no advantage over Java :)
Did you use "modeswitch unicodestrings"?
Also at least the outer cast shouldn't be necessary in my opinion. I
don't know about the inner one...
Did someone make a different experience?
Btw.
Is it possible to mix Pascal and Java?
Let's say I have logic already there in Pascal and want to use it for an
Android app - can I mix code at "class level" ?
AFAIK yes. You just need to careful if you have units that contain
initalization/finalization sections. These are implemented as static
constructors/destructors of a class with the unit name as class name and
you need to access that class if you want the
initialization/finalization section to be run.
Btw: if you have specific questions about why certain things don't work
or to ask whether certain things could be made working you should post
in the fpc-devel/fpc-pascal list, because Jonas (who has implemented the
jvm target) is there.
Regards,
Sven
