[Interest] No implementation found for boolean org.qtproject.qt5.android.QtNative.startQtAndroidPlugin

Fri Sep 11 16:05:57 CEST 2020

There was a discussion about this a while back into Slack QtMob into the Android channel:

my android.pri now include the right manifest based on the build version:

       MANIFEST_ANDROID_AMOTUS = AndroidManifest.xml

        LIBS_ANDROID_AMOTUS = libs.xml

        versionAtLeast(QT_VERSION, 5.13.0) {

            AMOTUS_ANDROID_MANIFEST_FOLDER = "android-src/"

            AMOTUS_ANDROID_LIBS_FOLDER = "android-src/res/values/"

        }

        !versionAtLeast(QT_VERSION, 5.13.0) {

            AMOTUS_ANDROID_MANIFEST_FOLDER = "android-src/old"

            AMOTUS_ANDROID_LIBS_FOLDER = "android-src/res/values/old"

        }

        QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += $$androidSourceMaker("Amotus_Android_Manifest", "/", $$AMOTUS_ROOT, $$AMOTUS_ANDROID_MANIFEST_FOLDER, MANIFEST_ANDROID_AMOTUS)

        QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += $$androidSourceMaker("Amotus_Android_Libs", "res/values", $$AMOTUS_ROOT, $$AMOTUS_ANDROID_LIBS_FOLDER, LIBS_ANDROID_AMOTUS)

        DISTFILES += \

            $$AMOTUS_ANDROID_MANIFEST_FOLDER/AndroidManifest.xml \

            $$AMOTUS_ANDROID_LIBS_FOLDER/libs.xml \

The androidSourceMaker is based on Luke Vear work: https://github.com/lukevear/qmakeAndroidSourcesHelper

This allow to cherry pick part of code and happend it to the android source folder, this allow multiple subrepos contributing to the android source folder (we can only have one, which is limiting we you keep a lots of sub repos into your projects).

Here is my source for it (I did sent it to Luke Vear already, but our needs diverge, I should open source fork it, but it is right now into a private repos):

----------------------------------------------

anybody have some weird injection of permission and requirements into the android manifest? seem like Qt inject 3 permission no matter if they are already present into the AndroidManifest, then the compile fail with duplicated entry?!? why is he injecting :

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
  <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" android:required="false" />
Is Qt 5.15 need those?  I do use the  gps location into my application, any way to prevent him for injecting those value? it corrupt the AndroidManifest.xmlAlso the

    <!-- %%INSERT_PERMISSIONS -->
    <!-- %%INSERT_FEATURES -->
Seem like we need to remove the comments now to prevent QtCreator to inject

still have some question about:

same AndroidManifest.xml Source

Thanks. This + https://wiki.qt.io/AndroidServices helped.
