IDE Setup to First App - Developing and debugging Android applications with Delphi / RAD Studio

How to set-up the RAD Studio IDE to enable Android development with Delphi. The video covers what to check in the IDE, and also on your device, including setting up developer mode on the Android phone. After reviewing the IDE setup, we build and deploy our very first simple Android App directly onto an Android device. Once deployed we see how easy it is to use breakpoints for debugging inside the Delphi code and get access to the native call stack.

I cannot seem to install 11.3 community edition successfully for Android development. The SDK does not install fully. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the intro! It was most interesting.

Question: I am experimenting and am using a free form project. But no matter what I try, I cannot get the designer to look like my phone. Example. I drop a label on the from and an editbox beside it. When I run it on my phone, the label's top is not the same height as the editbox. I also seem to be stuck at a really low resolution (my phone is 2960x1440 but the app seems stuck at something like 700x320 pixels. So when I design my layout, half the form's components are missing. What am I doing wrong? Nothing seems as easy as it's made out to be with Android development.

Thanks for any help!
