Ok. We did dramatic changes, sorry!
Please, you can learn the new components design/behaviour in the Demos: AppAsyncTaskDemo1 and AppHttpClientDemo1 !!!
1. jAsyncTask lost property "OnAsyncEvent" but no panic!
when prompt "Read error" [Unknown Property] just choice "Continue Loading"!
Now copy the old code to matching/equivalent news events:
OnPreExecute
OnDoInBackground
OnProgressUpdate
OnPostExecute
2. jHttpClient: now "runInBackground/asynctask" have build in support!
You do not need more use jAsyncTask component to run it "in background" !
Ok, you will need handle the new event "ContentResult" to get content result and
"get" now is a procedure [not a function] ... so, no more result!
3. Old Projects: upgrade your project [or demo] code templates!] !
Lazarus IDE --> menu Tools --> [Lamw] Android Module Wizard --> Upgrade code Templates [*.lpr, *.java]

warning: Need Packages:
"tfpdxfwritebridge_pack.lpk" ref. https://github.com/jmpessoa/tfpdxfwritebridge
"tfpnoguigraphicsbridge_pack.lpk" ref. https://github.com/jmpessoa/tfpnoguigraphicsbridge
Hint: TFPNoGuiGraphicsBridge on Android
--->>> Cross compile [Lamw/arm-android] project fail .... NO PANIC!
PANIC I: Compiling ... [please, read lazarus or/as laz4android and ...\fpc\2.7.1 or/as ...\fpc\3.1.1 etc..]
"(FTFont.PPU and freetype.PPU) units NOT FOUND in "...\lazarus\fpc\2.7.1\units\arm-android\fcl-image" ???
Solution:
1. Goto "...\lazarus\fpc\2.7.1\source\packages\fcl-image\src" and copy
ftfont.pp (if need change to .pas)
freetype.pp (if need change to .pas)
freetypeh.pp (if need change to .pas)
to folder "...\tfpnoguigraphicsbridge" package folder and build AGAIN your project!
Yes, now you got ftfont.ppu, ftfont.o, freetype.ppu etc... to "arm-android" !
2. Copy THEM to folder "...\lazarus\fpc\2.7.1\units\arm-android\fcl-image"
So, others [future] projects will find its there! [solved to "arm-android" !!!]
PANIC II: [building Lamw project cross-arm]::
".... : cannot find -lfreetype"
Solution:
Copy "libfreetype.so" to NDK location "....\platforms\android-XX\arch-arm\usr\lib"
where XX = 14 or 15 or 16... or 21 .. etc
For Lamw project you can look for "XX" value in menu:
"Project" --->> "Project Options" ---> "Compile Options" -->> "Paths" --->> Libraries [-Fl]
PANIC III. Where I find a "libfreetype.so" for arm-android ?
Go to demo "...\AppTFPNoGUIGraphicsBridgeDemo1\libs\armeabi" [Eclipse compatible Project]
You will find an "all ready" there!
PANIC IV. Where "libfreetype.so" will be load in java code?
Go to "Controls.java" [\src\...\..] and uncomment this line:
--->> System.loadLibrary("freetype");
The code now will be:
//Load Pascal Library
static {
System.loadLibrary("freetype"); // <<---uncommented here!
System.loadLibrary("controls");
}

::Tutorial to Stephano Questions:
ref. http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,21919.msg169783/topicseen.html#new
1. Create a new "Lamw" project as usual [save all to ../jni]
2. Add to ../src the new java class code [ex. jhelloadder.java]
3. Go to [again] IDE->Project->New Project select [again] "JNI Android Module" Project
and [again] Select the same project [form workspace]
4. But, NOW double click the added java class code [jhelloadder.java]
5. Ok
6. Save all new project to ../jni [warning: keep the project name [jhelloadder.lpr],
but change the unit name :: ex. "unithelloadder.pas"]
7. Yes, the new "jhelloadder.lpr" have the "drafts" code for all native methods!
function Add(PEnv: PJNIEnv; this: JObject; _a: JInt; _b: JInt): JInt; cdecl;
begin
{your code....}
{Result:= ;}
end;
function StringUpperCase(PEnv: PJNIEnv; this: JObject; _str: JString): JString; cdecl;
begin
{your code....}
{Result:= ;}
end;
8. Yes, you have a new form [datamodule]: You can put there any "pure/fcl" TComponent descendant
[not LCL component, not Lamw component] --->> TODO: need more test
8. Go to [again] IDE->Tools->Android Module Wizard->New jComponent [Create]
9. Paste the "jhelloadder.java" into Tab "java" ...
WARNING: after paste, remove de word "public" from class definition!
[TODO: need fix the parse ...]
10. Read the content of Tab "help" ... [follow the instructions!]
Do not forget:
//Please, you need insert:
public java.lang.Object jHelloAdder_jCreate(long _Self) {
return (java.lang.Object)(new jHelloAdder(this,_Self));
}
//to end of "public class Controls" in "Controls.java"
11. Open "tfpandroidbridge_pack.lpk --> More -> Recompile Clean -> Use -> Install !!
12. Use Case 1: Pascal call Java :: drop the new component to jForm [main app] and use it!
13. Use case 2. Java call Java :: declare and use it! ex.:
jHelloAdder helloadder;
helloadder = new jHelloAdder(controls, 1010); //controsl=reference to main "controls" object :: 1010 = dummy
Log.i("jHelloAdder_Add","Add(7,11)="+ helloadder.Add(7,11));
14. Please, see the new project demo ...

by Leledumbo for Linux users:

"The idea of this is just to make the package installable in the [Lazarus for Linux] IDE,
applications will still use the android version of the libraries."

IV. Technical Notes: dependencies on laz4android [win32] IDE cross compiler:
--> About Package, Components, LCL and NDK libs: *.so
-
About Package creation: just LCLBase is permitted! not "LCL"!
- You will nedd LCLBase Required Package for register procedure.
- yes, other No GUI stuff is permitted.
-
Abou Component creation
2.1. If you will use custom icon then you will need two files: the first to compoment(s) code and the second for Register procedure code.
example:2.1.1. File 1 - foo.pas - component code - here no LCL dependency at all!
unit foo;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
interface
uses Classes, SysUtils;
type
TFoo = class(TComponent) private { Private declarations } protected { Protected declarations } public { Public declarations } published { Published declarations } end;
implementation
end.
2.1.2. File 2 - regtfoo.pas - register component code - here you will nedd LCLBase for LResources unit
unit regtfoo;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
interface
uses Classes, SysUtils, LResources {nedded for custom icon loading...};
Procedure Register;
implementation
Procedure Register; begin {$I tfoo_icon.lrs} //you custom icon RegisterComponents('Android Bridges',[TFoo); end;
initialization
end.

-
About NDK libs (.so) dependency on laz4android [win32] IDE cross compiler
3.1. You will need two files: the first to NDK *.so lib interface and the second for you component/unit code.
Example:
3.1.1. File 1 - "And_log_h.pas" - the header interface file
unit And_log_h;
{$mode delphi}
interface
const libname='liblog.so';
ANDROID_LOG_UNKNOWN=0;
ANDROID_LOG_DEFAULT=1;
ANDROID_LOG_VERBOSE=2;
ANDROID_LOG_DEBUG=3;
ANDROID_LOG_INFO=4;
ANDROID_LOG_WARN=5;
ANDROID_LOG_ERROR=6;
ANDROID_LOG_FATAL=7;
ANDROID_LOG_SILENT=8;
type
android_LogPriority=integer;
function __android_log_write(prio:longint; tag,text: pchar):longint; cdecl; external libname name '__android_log_write';
implementation
end.
3.1.2. File 2 - "And_log.pas" - component/unit code
unit And_log;
interface
uses And_log_h; // <-- here is the link/bind to NDK lib
jLog = class(jControls)
end;
jLog = class(jControl)
private
{ Private declarations }
protected
{ Protected declarations }
public
{Public declarations }
procedures wLog(msg: pchar); // << ----------- dependency!
published
{ Published declarations }
end;
implementation
procedure jLog.WLog(msg: pchar);
begin
__android_log_write(ANDROID_LOG_FATAL,'crap',msg); // << ---------- dependency!
end;
end.
