Winsoft has a native pascal component for Delphi XE5 Firemonkey on Android which will allow you to communicate with the ComPort of your Android device. Apparently not all phones have a ComPort but HTC devices do. There is a native library for Android in Java that will allow you to access the ComPort too but this component does not appear to use that library and is in pascal. This is a commercial com port component but it comes with a free trial so you can see if it works for you first. The example that is included with the free trial is pretty straight forward. Here is some sample code to read and write data to the ComPort:
procedure TFormMain.MemoKeyDown(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; var KeyChar: Char; Shift: TShiftState);
begin
AComPort.WriteByte(Ord(KeyChar));
end;
procedure TFormMain.TimerTimer(Sender: TObject);
var Text: string;
begin
Text := AComPort.ReadUtf8;
if Text <> '' then
Memo.Text := Memo.Text + Text;
end;
Head over and get the free trial of the com port component.
I want to use (XE5 Android) comport component to connect by bluetooth to another device, as I can do it?
