FMX/Android: wchar_t support

[Nemo]

I am a beginner with FMX/Android and tried to make a test app. The code wanted to use the function _wcsnicmp() but it does not seem to exist for Android, only for Windows. However, wcsncmp() seems to exist. Does anyone know if this is the case or am I looking in the wrong place?

On Windows, wchar_t is 16bits used for UTF-16, but on other platforms it is 32bit used for UTF-32. So, to ensure that UnicodeString is always a 16bit UTF-16 string on all platforms, it uses wchar_t on Windows (the "classic" compiler does not support char16_t), and char16_t on other platforms. So, you need to find/use cross-platform functions that are compatible with char16_t strings. Or, use C++Builder RTL cross-platform functions that are compatible with UnicodeString/WideChar strings instead of raw wchar_t/char_16 strings.
