[Interest] Qt + Go + Android

[Kyle Nusbaum]

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm happy to get any Qt running on android. I don't need the specific UT or qml-go setup. They just looked like promising leads.

I'm not as worried about upgrading Go (it has very strong backwards-compatibility guarantees) as Qt itself.
My major concern (Not sure if i'm right) is the cross-compilation. I'm trying to build for ARM on my amd64 machine, so not sure what all needs to be installed.
When compiling qml-go locally with go build, it's fine. However, gomobile seems to fail, missing some Qt headers. They're under /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/, so cross-compilation was my suspicion. Also not sure gomobile is the right tool, but thought I would give it a shot. I may just have to figure out how to compile this and put together an APK more or less by hand.

Hi,

 

admittedly, I have no experience with this project…

 

Are you trying to get the exact same configuration working like in the documentation?

 

If not, then I assume you need to find an iterative way. The repo states go 1.2, while 1.19 is quite some version jump.

Even more so, it mentions Qt 5.0/5.1 which is around 10 years ago by now. One approach would be to try 5.15 first, or move go to a latest
 stage with the old Qt version. Only afterwards try to upgrade the other (which might reveal other cross issues then again). Also moving to Qt 6 directly could have some additional effort.

 

BR,

Maurice

I'm currently working on getting Qt with QML working on android through the Go language. 

 


I have seen this work on Ubuntu Touch, and I was very impressed with the dev experience. 


 


I think https://github.com/nanu-c/qml-go is my best bet, but I'm having trouble getting things
 compiling. I can provide compiler errors if anyone is interested, but I'm primarily here to ask if anyone knows about some resources on how to make this or something similar work.


 


Having some documentation on what I need to do to get a working APK with Go and Qt would be fantastic. Other working compiling applications or
 examples would be great too.


 


Thanks in advance for my probably strange request.
