So, on Sunday, I went spelunking into the internals of Android, determined to find if there's a way to change this... And I found it! I then started a new Android project and quickly created a tool to change it...
After a while, I thought it might be useful to the rest of the world and I uploaded it onto the Android Market.
Within 2 days, there were 1490 total downloads, with 1205 active installs so far. So, I guess I resonated with a lot of people who shared the same frustration...
In 2017, with the release of Delphi 10.2 Tokyo, Embarcadero introduced a specialized implementation of the Observer pattern into the System.Classes unit. While it has been in the wild for 9 years, it remains a "hidden" architecture for many, primarily because it serves as the invisible engine behind LiveBindings. Other than live bindings, you can also use the Observer pattern as a way to update component settings to the Windows registry, an .ini file, or persist it elsewhere.
