Configuring Android

On Android further configuration of Android Manifest XML file is needed for specific components. When first compiling for an Android platform Delphi will create a new AndroidManifest.template.xml file. This is the file you should edit; the code should be added into the application tag.

  • AdMob

Select AdMob Service within Project Option’s entitlements list.



    

  • Chart Boost
    • 



Add chartboost.jar and jve-chartboost.jar file to the Libraries section of the Project Manager (under Target Platforms then Android). The following should be added to the manifest file:


<activity android:name="com.chartboost.sdk.CBImpressionActivity"
  android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"
  android:excludeFromRecents="true" />
