FMXBroadcastReceiver (Android) is broken in Delphi 10 Seattle? What changed since XE7?

To work with USB-devices (on Android-devices having USB-host) one has to use BroadcastReceiver. I have found a demo (https://github.com/freeonterminate/delphi/tree/master/BroadcastReceiver). I have tested it on Delphi XE10. Wasted a lot of time to make it work until I discovered that demo works on XE7 but not on XE10.

"Interface not supported" error is occured during JFMXBroadcastReceiver creation (or near).

To demonstrate the problem I have created a brand new simple project https://github.com/ashumkin/Delphi-Android-BroadcastSample. It works in XE7 (press "Register" button to create a broadcast receiver which catches and logs (see adb logcat) screen locking/unlocking. But it does not work in XE10 - "Interface not supported" occurs. In logcat I can see

W/dalvikvm(31735): dvmFindClassByName rejecting 'com/embarcadero/firemonkey/broadcast/FMXBroadcastReceiverListener'
W/dalvikvm(31735): dvmFindClassByName rejecting 'com/embarcadero/firemonkey/broadcast/FMXBroadcastReceiver'

(but they are present in logcat of XE7-built app)

I tried to remove XE7 version of AndroidManifest.template.xml, created .dproj-file in XE10, - nothing helps!.

WTF?

Thanks!

In 10.1 Berlin (not 10.0 Seattle), you can receive a broadcasted Android Intent using IFMXApplicationEventService.SetApplicationEventHandler() and TMessageManager.SubscribeToMessage() to process TMessageReceivedNotification messages. – Remy Lebeau
See Embarcadero's AndroidIntents examples. – Remy Lebeau
BTW, there is no XE10! Get that out of your head. There is 10.0 Seattle, 10.1 Berlin, etc. Which one are you actually using? – Remy Lebeau
I use the following component working also in 10.0: github.com/barisatalay/… – Andre Ruebel
@RemyLebeau, you're right about XE10 ) I mean and use Delphi 10 Seattle. Will try TMessageReceivedNotification, but I doubt that it is. – Alexey Shumkin
