Download FGX Native 2026

Quick Introduction

Starting with FGX Native is really easy. It appears as a prominent choice when you opt for developing cross-platform mobile apps with Delphi. It delivers impressive performance. It provides an intuitive user interface. It offers a library of pre-designed components for a leap start.

What the software does

The goal of this toolkit is to allow developers to create native mobile interfaces without leaving the Delphi world. Emphasis is on native visual components, a designer intended to speed layout work and numerous sample projects to copy, adapt and get inspirations from. The project team emphasizes documentation and active user forum to provide support.

How it runs on you machine

It is a local project run by your machine. Once it’s installed it runs on your local machine.

At a lower level, the framework sits on top of the platform’s native UI controls, providing controls that act normally and animations that are “snappy”. Lists and drawing areas are optimized for speed. There’s a special visual designer that provides positioning guidelines, grid support, and live updating for rapid iteration (and, as mentioned, is pretty damn good). And, yes, there are some forum threads, some with specific Delphi Versions, so check carefully.

Core Features

• Native components for mobile platforms to ensure controls resemble and behave like 1 st party UI.
• Lists with high performance and smooth animation for scrollers and data heavy showings.
• How about having built-in map embedding and a native web view for hybrid content?
• Playback of video files or streams.
• Improvements such as using autocomplete, autocorrect, identifying links, etc.
• 4 Key UI building blocks: cards, tabs, navigation bars, sliding panels, activity indicator.
• Device services: Camera, barcode scanner, permission management, timers and locale-aware service.
• Designer-oriented feature: previews, position guides, modular grid, and font/image/baseline management.
• Works well with a lot of third party Delphi libraries like database connectors, networking stacks, etc.

All this features are extracted from the features descriptions provided by the project, and through them, it shows the elements you’ll probably see first in a mobile project.

This is why you might choose it:

It offers a lot of pre-Gmail features for free. It has a fresh new way of communicating (traditional Messaging is the same as, well, traditional).

What do developers usually want? Two things – to go fast and to go what they’re used to! This tool provides both. You can keep coding in Delphi while generating applications that are ready-to-go. The impressive lists implementation and the set of ready-to-use widget are saving you from messing with hand-made controls. And the emphasis put on documentation coupled with working sample projects saves you from guessing about how everything works. That leaves more time to work on what more matters – the user’s experience!

If you’re the type who likes to fiddle you can have fun screwing around with the resource system and designer to change fonts, insert images and rearrange the layout behavior with a few keystrokes. It a useful. It’s tight. It doesn’t try to cover up the complexity- it puts it somewhere logical.

Common situations where it is useful

• Quickly creating mobile app screens that look and behave as if they were a native app.
• Applications that automatically embed maps, web pages, streaming video, etc inside of a frame with Delphi as the core.
• Data-rich mobile clients requiring fast scrollable lists and snappy input fields.
• Projects built upon other Delphi author libraries for networking, dataaccess or cryptography etc., without re-implementing any infrastructure.
• Small teams who are fine with shipped examples and documented APIs and would rather avoid steep learning curves.

Just a few words of warning before you have a go

To give it a go, they run a 30-day trial where you can use the complete feature set and test building an application for free at the outset. You’ll have the trial duration to verify how the designer works with your current code, and whether the third-party components are compatible with your project.

But do keep in mind: always refer to forum notes for versions before installing and always verify package compatibility before you install. Taking a fast systems check now can save you a lot of time down the road.

All in all, it’s a handy, portable bridge for native mobile UI, a bundle of reusable components, and some documentation to jumpstart. Try it out, create something interesting and decide if it makes sense in your context.
