The Hospitality Survey App template contains a RAD Server project and a Delphi client project. You can download the Hospitality Survey App template code for yourself from Embarcadero's GetIt. The Delphi client project makes REST calls via the BaaS components to RAD Server. Keep in mind that this same source code will work with TRESTClient and TNetHTTPClient. It is beneficial for the REST calls to be made in an asynchronous way because the interface stays responsive and on some platform...

I just received this email from Facebook/Parse. "Important Parse Announcement" - "We have a difficult announcement to make. Beginning today we're winding down the Parse service, and Parse will be fully retired after a year-long period ending on January 28, 2017. We're proud that we've been able to help so many of you build great mobile apps, but we need to focus our resources elsewhere." "We understand that this won't be an easy transition, and we're working hard to make this process as easy as...

Today I thought I would do a quick tutorial on how you can filter your BaaS data using TBackendQuery's QueryLines feature. This allows you to filter your cloud data using regular expressions. For more information on regular expressions, click here. If you have never used a Backend-as-a-Service provider like Kinvey, Parse or App42 and are looking to build BaaS enabled apps with 10 Seattle, I would recommend having a look at my tutorial series: http://blogs.embarcadero.com/sarinadupont/category/b...

With RAD Studio XE8, we support a range of backend as a service (BaaS) providers including Kinvey, Parse and App42. Over the last year I have written many blog posts on our BaaS support and frequently get questions on BaaS from our customers. I recently got a question about how to upload files to Kinvey using https instead of http. Kinvey uses Google cloud storage for files and you can use either 'http:' or 'https:' when making a request to Google.  Below is some information fro...

Recently, I covered the steps necessary to add password reset email notification functionality to your BaaS enabled Delphi XE6 app using Kinvey. Today, I thought I would explain how to do this with Parse. This demo shows you how to to derive from the existing ParseAPI class (TExtendParseApi = class(TParseApi)) for the Parse component and add a new method for executing Parse's password reset. Inside your Parse.com account, you can define email settings for the password reset email. M...

A couple of days ago, I covered how to add password reset functionality to your application for resetting the password inside your app. A common question I got was how to leverage the cloud based password reset email functionality that many BaaS providers offer. Today, I thought I would cover how to add password reset functionality via an email notification to your BaaS enabled mobile application using RAD Studio XE6. This tutorial uses Kinvey, but I am going to do a blog post on Parse soon as ...

Over the last couple of months, I have been covering various BaaS (Backend-as-a-Service) features introduced in RAD Studio XE6. Today, I thought I would expand on the User Account Creation and Authentication topic I previously covered by showing you how to allow the user to change their password within your BaaS enabled application. In this app, I am using Kinvey as my BaaS Provider but the UI and code are the same if you are using Parse. The app consists of 3 Edit controls: One for Use...
