SVG not supported?

[Harri Pasanen]

I've included QtSVG lib, but still at run time I get:

QML Image: Error decoding: qrc:/icons/erase.svg: Unsupported

It's not that big a deal for me as I can change it to png, but
I suppose it would be nice to have SVG support in some cases.

There is one specific case in QML (not specifically for android) where SVG is not supported as an input, but I can't remember which.

Other than that, SVG is working fine in Android.

[Harri Pasanen]

Well, for me:

Image {
source: "qrc:/icons/erase.png"
}

works, but

Image {
source: "qrc:/icons/erase.svg"
}

does not work on Android. Both work in simulator or N9/Meego.

Hi,

just a clarification. You mean that works on N9/harmattan physical device (and it's obvious) or harmattan simulator of Android simulator ?

If it works on android simulator - it is a concern of mine too - then the problem maybe that some qt libraries are not installed on the android device...

No, I meant N9 physical phone, and Qt Simulator (neither obviously
using Necessitas).

On Android I've only tested on Nexus One physical phone.

Did you include QtSvg in the list of Qt libs dependencies of your project?

yes I did. I'll need to check if it got deployed though.

The QtSvg library is checked.

Everything got deployed, but it doesn't work.

lib/libQtSvg.so -> /data/local/qt/lib/libQtSvg.so

plugins/imageformats/libqsvg.so ->
/data/local/qt/plugins/imageformats/libqsvg.so

But I still get:

QML Image: Error decoding: qrc:/icons/erase.svg: Unsupported image format

Btw. Another small glitch I noticed is that QML Page element does not
seem to
respect anchors in layout. As setting y property works, I can go around it.

The show stopper for me is the virtual keyboard.
It pops up, but I can't get rid of it.

I tried TextField.platformCloseSoftwareInputPanel() to close it
"manually", but
that does not seem to exist.

Stupid question, but you did try with different svg's, right?

I'm most often using Nokia's icons for toolbars, etc... (http://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/Design_and_UX/designing-for-nokia-platforms/Nokia%20Icon%20Toolkit.zip) and I do not have problems...

Hi Koying,
I have the same problem, and i used some SVG from Symbian components.
What was strange, when i compiled the app on main computer (OSX), there was SVG Error. Compiled on Windows computer, everything works.
After a while i removed the Ministro, and rebuild the application, (both OSX and Windows) and the error appear again.

@Harri can you pleas try again to run application from Necessitas, but now, by selecting deploy local Qt Libs? ( is to late for me now to try this) and let us know if it working.

[Jonny]

Did you try: QT_PLUGIN += qsvg
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/qtplugin.html#Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN

If gif or jpg images are not working you may need to add them as well.
This caused me grief deploying to QNX, not sure if its the problem
here or not...
Cheers,
Jon

[Harri Pasanen]

Yes, tried with backspace.svg from Nokia Symbian icons, same results, it
doesn't work
for me.

I'd imagine the SVG engine is the same in android-qt as regular Qt?
From the symptoms it does look like the SVG plugin does not get installed.

Harri

If your using Koying's android components, just add the libqsvg.so
plugin to the package the same way koying adds the component plugins
and give it a whirl... You may need to set the QT_PLUGIN_PATH too...
Cheers,
Jon

I know this is an old topic but I thought I'd reply with an answer that worked for me.  I was also having trouble fully running the flickr components example due to svg's not being supported.  I traced the problem down to not fully loading the plugins dependencies.  The imageformats/libqsvg.so depends on the following Qt libraries. QtSvg, QtXml, QtGui, and QtCore.  If you deploy your project without those libraries checked svg's will not work. 

I was able to determine what dependencies were needed by running the following command on plugins/imageformats/libqsvg.so
arm-linux-androideabi-objdump -p /necessitas/Android/Qt/482/armeabi-v7a/plugins/imageformats/libqsvg.so $f | awk '/ NEEDED / { print $2 }

The QtXml was missing for me too (Qt 5.1.1), causing the same error.

Many thanks for posting the answer!
