The majority of mobile apps work with data. Building database applications has always been one of the strongest features of Delphi. In this chapter, we will learn how to build data-driven mobile user interfaces, use the FireDAC database access framework, and embed databases on mobile devices. As an example, we are going to build a simple mobile app for managing a list.
This chapter will cover the following points:
- Embedding mobile databases
- Using the FireDAC framework for database access
- TListView designer
- Visual live bindings
- Using TPrototypeBindSource
The objective of this chapter is to learn how to build data-driven GUI interfaces.
