Rebuilding the Delphi & C++Builder Android Java files

Some while back I posted a command script (or batch file as we used to call them) that could be used by RAD Studio 10.3 users if they felt the need to change any of the few Java files underlying Delphi's (and C++Builder's) Android RTL and FireMonkey code.

The script would rebuild all the Java files into the required fmx.dex.jar and fmx.jar archives and copy them into the relevant RAD Studio installation folders to be used on subsequent builds.

When I tried to use the script with RAD Studio 10.3.3 of course it didn't work as things have changed, different files need to be involved in the process. I have updated the script now to work with RAD Studio 10.3.3 and thought I'd share it in case anyone else needs to do this.

An obvious question is: Why would anyone else want to rebuild the Java Android RTL files? Well this is normally a necessary step if you find an issue in the code as Embarcadero ships it and you want to try to fix it or enhance it. Indeed the previous post on rebuilding the 10.3 Java files was all about patching the Java code to get Android Intent support working.

If you have no interest in tweaking the Java code or fixing any issues you encounter in the Java code then you probably won't be needing this script.

If you do need the script, remember to take a backup of your original compiled archives before you proceed. These are found in:

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\lib\android\debug\fmx.jar
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\lib\android\debug\fmx.dex.jar
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\lib\android\release\fmx.jar
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\lib\android\release\fmx.dex.jar

The script needs to be run from an administrative command prompt and before you run it you should double-check the various paths set up in the environment variables at the start are all valid on your system.

The script can be found below (apologies for any layout issues caused by longer lines than the narrow blog width); hat-tip and thanks to Tom Byrnes for test-driving it:
