Hello

Ring 1.0 for Mobile App Development (Android, iOS and Windows Phone) using Qt 

Download : https://sourceforge.net/projects/ring-lang/files/Ring%201.0/Fayed_Ring_1.0_MobileAppDevelopment_Qt_Project.zip/download

Screen Shot :

(1) Download Requirements

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/androidgs.html

* The Android SDK Tools

https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

* The Android NDK 

https://developer.android.com/ndk/index.html

* Apache Ant v1.8 or later 

http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

* Java SE Development Kit (JDK) v6 or later

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

(2) Update the Android SDK to get the API and tools packages required for development

(3) Install Qt for Android

https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.5/5.5.1/

(4) Run Qt Creator, Select Tools > Options > Android to add the 

    Android NDK and SDK paths. 

http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-developing-android.html

(5) Using Qt Creator Open the project 

Folder : app1

Project file : app1.pro

(6) You will find the code in resources\test.ring

You can modify the code then build and run for Desktop or Mobile.

Comments

(1) The main project file is main.cpp 

This file load Ring Compiler/Virtual Machine and RingQt 

Then copy files during the runtime from the resources to temp. folder 

Then run the test.ring

Through main.cpp you can extract more files from the resources to temp. folder once you

add them (create projects with many files).

(2) The next functions are missing from this Ring edition

* Database (ODBC & MySQL)

* Security and Internet functions (LibCurl & OpenSSL)

* RingAllegro (Allegro Library)

Just use Qt Classes through RingQt

For database access use the QSqlDatabase Class

Note: All of the missing libraries ((LibCurl, OpenSSL & Allegro) can be compiled for Android.

     But they are not included in this distribution.

Greetings,

Mahmoud
