In this second part on error reporting, we add support for Android. For that, we need to manually walk the call stack and configure the Delphi project to export symbols. In the previous article in this series, we shared some building blocks for implementing error reporting functionality on iOS. To recap, these blocks are: Intercepting… Continue reading Build your own Error Reporter – Part 2: Android
We share some building blocks for rolling your own error reporter in Delphi. From intercepting unhandled exceptions, to retrieving a stack trace to symbolicating the error report. This part focuses on iOS. In the next part, we handle Android, which does things a bit differently. We won’t cover Windows here, since there are already some… Continue reading Build your own Error Reporter – Part 1: iOS
In the previous article we demonstrated how to roll your own Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple APNS push notifications from Delphi apps in a unified manner. This article continues the conversation about how to easily receive and consume them in your Delphi mobile app. Introduction If you are authoring a Delphi service for the… Continue reading Receiving push notifications from Apple’s Push Notification and Google’s Firebase Cloud Messaging services
We share our efficient and easy-to-use JSON and BSON library that supports a Document Object Model (DOM), direct reading and writing in JSON and BSON format, and automatic serialization of Delphi records and classes to and from JSON and BSON. Why another JSON library? There are already quite a few JSON libraries out there, so… Continue reading Efficient and easy-to-use JSON and BSON library
We continue our tour of custom collections with a generic ring buffer. What is a ring buffer? A ring buffer (also known as a circular buffer) is a fixed-size buffer that is connected end-to-end. It is similar to a queue in that behaves like a FIFO (First-In-First-Out) buffer. But unlike a queue, it does not… Continue reading Expand your Collections collection – Part 2: a generic ring buffer
So you created a generic class. Maybe a specialized generic collection, like a generic set. Professional as you are, you are going to need some unit tests for this class. But how do you test a class that can have so many variations depending on the type argument. You could write test cases for just… Continue reading Unit Testing Generic Types
Now that the cloud has become a core part of every developer’s life, we are faced with designing scalable, distributed services that reside on these platforms (Amazon’s AWS, Google Compute and Microsoft Azure) and are able to interact with other third-party facing services and middle-ware such as databases, messaging brokers, remote push messaging services and… Continue reading Scalable HTTP/S and TCP client sockets for the cloud
Welcome to this first post in a series about custom (generic) collections in Delphi. These are part of our Grijjy Foundation library of classes and utilities that are used throughout our code base. Other Grijjy Repositories often depend on this library. Introducing TgoSet Have you ever doubted between using a TList<T> or TDictionary<T> to store… Continue reading Expand your Collections collection – Part 1: a generic set
