[Interest] QML on Android

[Sivan Greenberg]

Hi All,

It is my understanding that QML is not yet supported on Android
through some folks have managed to run their QML apps to some degree
of success. Is there somewhere a canonical tutorial that explains how
to get started with it? e.g., install, test app , deply, done ?

Thanks,

I don't know about a tutorial, but Marijn Kruisselbrink has managed
to make Calligra Active run on Android, and that's a QML app:

http://blogs.kde.org/node/4553

I don't think QML was actually the main problem for him, that worked
out of the box, though he had to port some of the plasma qml components.

Interesting, I'll check that.

So, although a year old,
http://groups.google.com/group/android-qt/browse_thread/thread/ae94595293312a27/9f364c0bb16ea84a
notes some issues. Do you know if those are already solved? I guess
I'll find for myself when I try it :)

Hmm, no idea if this fits to your question, but what I know about Qt on
Android is the Necessitas project
(http://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/home/necessitas/) - does that help
you any further?

Bare QML works, QML components is work in progress.
Those can be made to work to some extent.
Sound does not work yet.

To get started:

http://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/home/necessitas/

explains the necessary steps.

As proof that I've tried it:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mpaja.roboe

is an application I ported from Symbian/Meego to Android.

Depending on what you are doing, it might just work out of the box.

Only issues I ran into were sound, and RichText performance being bad on
Text component. Flickable default timing seemed to differ from Symbian
a bit, which made clicking links hard when element was in flickable.

Necessitas project could use some help. Unfortunately so far I haven't
had the time to contribute other than bug reports.
