I need your help with a problem with my Android app developed in Delphi XE7 Upd1 Firemonkey. I'm trying to find a solution to the problem below of this lines from two days ago that it drives me crazy and I'm giving up.

Situation: My app is working fine on devices with Android KitKat 4.x, it was developed in Delphi XE7 Upd1, recently, in the enterprise that I work, changed all the devices to new ones with Lollipop 5.0.

Problem: When I installed the app to the new devices, it doesn't work anymore, ANRs, unexpected closes, freezes, sometimes it does not start... I've tried with many tests but none of them worked.

  1. I installed the hotfix for FireMonkey apps on Android 5.0 (http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/30110), my app uses some bitmaps, and problem continues.

  2. I deleted all bitmaps in the app and problem continues.

  3. All packages in SDK Manager are up to date and problem continues.

  4. By testing, I installed the MultiView and TabSliding basic project samples of Rad Studio 15.0 on the new devices, and oohhh, ANR still continues.

  5. Finally, I installed the TabSliding basic project sample of Rad Studio 17.0 (Delphi DX 10) and works fine, but if open a TabSliding basic sample project of Rad Studio 15.0 in Delphi DX 10 and deploy to the new device, ohhhhhh nooooooo, ANR appears.

Did anybody experience this problem? Is there any solution for the Delphi XE7 Firemonkey app to work fine on Lollipop?

Hi! Has my last comment helped you? – Sergey Krasilnikov
Hello Sergey, many thanks for your help and interest, the hotfix didn’t solve the issue, so I finally decided to test it in a trial Delphi XE8 (which compatible with my thirdparty components) and runs fine, from now work for my bosses to decide migrate to XE8. Kind Regards. – Juande

First, about samples. They need to be recreated sometimes, if you open them earlier versions of Studio. Now, about the problems you've met. Can it be https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-11575 ? What is a concrete model of your device?

I am currently using Delphi 10 for Lolipop but I do recall that at some point I had to delete Delphi's project files, create a new project and manually add all forms and units of my project in order to work. Try also to delete the AndroidManifest.xml file found in your project's dir. It will be automatically recreated. As always keep a backup of your initial code.
