Knowing general Android programming can be very useful to help developing the Lazarus Android Interface.
How to...
Build the NDK OpenGL example
Just follow these steps:
Step 1 - Download and install the Android NDK, Android SDK and Ant. More information here: Android_Interface/Using_the_Android_SDK,_Emulator_and_Phones
Step 2 - Install the pre-compiled FPC cross-compiler. Instructions here: Android_Interface#Using_the_pre-compiled_compiler
Step 3 - Download the latest lazarus-ccr sourceforge code:
svn co https://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-ccr lazarus-ccr
or if you think it is too big you can download just the folder lazarus-ccr/bindings/android-ndk
Step 4 - Building the Pascal Library
Open the project lazarus-ccr/bindings/android-ndk/examples/opengltest/opengltest.lpi
Go to Project->Project Options->Paths and where is written "Libraries -Fl" you should see this value:
/home/felipe/Programas/android-ndk-r5/platforms/android-9/arch-arm/usr/lib
Change it to the correct path in your system which points to the NDK and to the library folder for your minimal required Android API Level
Now build the project using Lazarus.
Step 5 - Configuring the build environment
Open the file opengltest/local.properties and in this line:
sdk.dir=/home/felipe/Programas/android-sdk-linux
Change this to point to your SDK location
Step 6 - Buildings the APK
Open a terminal and type these commands:
cd lazarus-ccr/bindings/ndk/examples/opengltest/android ant debug
The APK file will be placed in opengltest/android/bin/
Step 7 - Install the APK
In this step if you get error messages about permissions read: Android_Interface/Using_the_Android_SDK,_Emulator_and_Phones#Recognition_of_devices_under_Linux
The command to install our APK in the phone is:
cd opengltest/android ~/Programas/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb install bin/OpenGLNDKTest-debug.apk 2395 KB/s (107299 bytes in 0.043s) pkg: /data/local/tmp/OpenGLNDKTest-debug.apk Success
If you get an error message that it is already installed you can install with this command:
~/Programas/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb uninstall com.pascal.opengltest
And then you can run adb logcat to see what the log says while you start it in the phone via its newly added icon:
~/Programas/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb logcat
Read the screen metrics
First fill a TDisplayMetrics with the correct info:
<delphi> uses androidutil;
var
MyDisplayMetrics: TDisplayMetrics; Str: string; // lHeight, lWidth: Integer; xdpi, ydpi, lScreenSize: Single;
begin
// .. // Objects
MyDisplayMetrics := TDisplayMetrics.Create; Activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(MyDisplayMetrics);
</delphi>
And then you can read it from the TDisplayMetrics:
<delphi>
lHeight := MyDisplayMetrics.heightPixels(); lWidth := MyDisplayMetrics.widthPixels(); xdpi := MyDisplayMetrics.xdpi(); ydpi := MyDisplayMetrics.ydpi(); lScreenSize := sqrt(sqr(lHeight / ydpi) + sqr(lWidth / xdpi)); ldensity := MyDisplayMetrics.density(); ldensityDpi := MyDisplayMetrics.densityDpi(); scaledDensity := MyDisplayMetrics.scaledDensity();
</delphi>
Note that lots of devices lie about the xdpi and ydpi, so don't trust the lScreenSize calculated above. Smartphones might report even 10 inches of screen size, while the correct is around 4.

Playing Sounds and Videos in the Phones
Each phone comes with different codecs installed, which will mean that the native Media Player will be able to play different formats in different phones. Bellow is a table showing which formats play in the native Media Player of each phone:

Showing / Hiding the virtual keyboard
See here: http://android-codes-examples.blogspot.com/2011/11/show-or-hide-soft-keyboard-on-opening.html
To show it:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,0);
and for hiding the keyboard:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(singleedittext.getWindowToken(),0);
