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...

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 ...

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...

In a recent blog post, I covered how to add user account creation to your BaaS enabled apps. Our BaaS support that we introduced with the release of RAD Studio XE6 allows you to integrate with leading Backend as a Service providers to add functionality and platform services to your mobile applications. Many applications today include account creation functionality, allowing the app user to sign up for an account by providing their name, email, username, password etc. In my recent post, I u...

Today, I thought I would expand on my recent blog post that covered our new push notification support that we introduced in RAD Studio XE6. One of the messaging features available via Kinvey (popular Backend-as-a-Service provider) is the support for push triggers. Push triggers are a great way of increasing user engagement with your application by automatically 'triggering' a push notification any time a change is made to your app's data collection (either by updating an existing record or...
