Re: A question about ministro !!!

[BogDan Vatra]

Hi Eric,

Yes is possible ONLY from QtCreator, but you must have checked "Use
local qt libs", actually "Deploy local qt libs" and "Use local qt
libs" are specially made for Qt framework hackers, so if you have "Use
local qt libs" option checked, QtCreator will pass a special parameter
to you application and will force it to use local qt libs. Also if you
don't have Android Market on your device/emulator you can download and
install Ministro package using "Install Ministro system wide ..."
option or manually. If Ministro is installed on your system your
application will use it.

For more informations please check
http://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/wiki/How%20to%20write%20Qt%20apps%20for%20Android/
.

Cheers.
BogDan.

Hello, and congratulations on the SDK.

I am having issues getting it to compile however. I think I may be
doing something very simple wrong.

I have completed the steps from the sourceforge wiki:
1. Setup Android SDK
2. How to install Necessitas SDK (5 minutes 3 click install)
3. Setup Qt Creator
4. How to write Qt apps for Android

Because they were in the manual install, I have not done the steps:
1. Compile Qt framework
2. Compile Qt creator

I started a new Mobile Application, followed the steps in "how to
write Qt apps for Android" and tried to compile but I got this output:

[BogDan]

Hi Toby,

Form your error log I can see you are using some special flags
which are not in mainline Qt API (WA_LockPortraitOrientation,
WA_LockLandscapeOrientation, WA_AutoOrientation)
please remove those 3 lines and hit the run button again.

BTW, you don't need to choose "new Mobile Application" to create an
application for android, you can also choose "Qt GUI Application"

Cheers,
BogDan.

[Toby Jackson]

Thanks for your quick response.

I just created a new blank Qt GUI project and targeted Android SDK 10.

It seemed to work right up to the last point of apk package creation.
I believe this is something to do with my "ant" configuration.

Here is the recent error code:

Hi

I've just setup and downloaded the necessitas packages (eventually).

I was having the same issue as Toby Jackson, so I tried running ant
install in the android folder of my project and got the following
output:

...
BUILD FAILED
/home/amos/downloads/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/ant/main_rules.xml:
483: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/home/amos/downloads/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/ant/main_rules.xml:
232: com.android.sdklib.build.ApkCreationException: Debug Certificate
expired on 14/02/11 12:16
...

A quick search on google pointed me to this StackOverflow question:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/2194808/210419

Basically you need to go to your ~/.android folder (ie the .android
folder in your home directory) and delete the debug.keystore file.
This will force another debug key to be generated, and your
application will deploy to the device (and then force close in my
case).

Cheers

I may have spoke too soon. I just started a new app and had the same
error message again.

Hi Amos,

Toby's, Tiernan's issues was caused by the fact they (he, if is the
same person) used illegal charters for package name:

[...]

[null] /home/tiernankennedy/Downloads/Qt Android Projects/
QtAndroidTest-01/android/AndroidManifest.xml:2: Tag <manifest>
attribute package has invalid character '-'.

[...]

Your problem seems to be related to your certificate which is expired.
Please be sure remove your debugging certificate, and you have latest
Android NDK (r5b) and SDK installed and working on your computer
(check https://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/wiki/Setup%20Android%20SDK/,
and https://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/wiki/Setup%20QtCreator/ for
more informations).

Cheers,
BogDan.

After checking the problem I'm now having is different to the one I
had before. I'll start a new thread to deal with it.
