Using multiple windows in a Delphi FireMonkey application

Описание: Delphi FireMonkey projects can be used to create desktop programs for Windows, Mac and Linux, as well as mobile applications for iOS and Android.

In windowed environments, there's no problem displaying several forms at the same time on a running program: you can do this with Show() or ShowModal() depending on whether you want the window to block the others or not.

On the other hand, in mobile environments the device only displays one screen at a time per application. So we need to think about our screens differently, as well as our screen sequences, so that we maintain good ergonomics and a pleasant user experience.

For Android, only the Show() method is accessible. No blocking windows with ShowModal(). So we need to adapt our code according to what we're doing.

Further explanations of this problem and solutions were developed during the live programming course I gave during the first COVID confinement in France. It is available at https://apprendre-delphi.fr/apprendre... along with the source codes for the examples.

The multi-windowing of software was discussed in the session on day 21: https://apprendre-delphi.fr/formation...
