Phone App *SOLVED with android source included

[RobYost]

I think I remember a thread that addressed this, but I can not find it.

 

I want to create an iPhone app and an Android app that just goes to my website that runs my UniGui application.

 

Does anyone know the easiest way to accomplish this?  I have tried some of the free app builders, with limited success.

 

People want to download an app not navigate to a web page, or add a shortcut to their phone, plus it is another way to advertise.

 

Thanks,

Rob

That seems to make a VCL or FMX application.  

 

I need an iPhone App and an Android App.

If this is the route you want to go, the Delphi option would be to create a firemonkey application, with a TBrowser, which loads the URL of your unigui app on create.

 

I've done this with android and it works as you would expect.

We use Android Studio / Xcode.

Mohammad:  I've tried Android Studio but I couldn't get it to work.  I will look back and see what the problem was, it was a few months ago.

 

Dan: I have XE6 and it won't make an app for the current release of Android.  At this point, I can't afford to update to the latest version of Delphi.

Mohammad: I went back to my Android Studio and ran it and it worked in the emulator. 

 

I don't know much about android apps, so what I did was email the apk file to myself.  On my phone, I opened the attachment and clicked install.  It added an app on my phone, but when I click on it pops up a message:

X Close

 

Any ideas?

Got it working...I had uploaded an older apk.

I need to figure out how to upload to google store, but I think I am almost there.

 

Hope this helps someone.
