In the previous chapter, we learned about the use of parallel programming to achieve responsiveness in our applications. This is indeed a very desirable characteristic to gain, regardless of the target platform you are addressing. From a certain perspective, System.Threading capabilities are abstractions over the parallel programming mechanisms of each platform and will let you implement your applications with a single code base even when the internals of each of the platforms are different.
From the same perspective, a number of capabilities are available in FMX in order to wrap underlying implementations of each platform, at least where a corresponding implementation is available for the specific platform.
In order to take advantage of the powerful abstraction layer FMX provides, we are going to cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Accessing...
