Hi Martin,

this is wonderful work.
Do you think you could add the guide to PySide Wiki ?

Thanks
Roman

> Build & usage guide
> I've written this comprehensive Pyside for Android guide:
> http://modrana.org/trac/wiki/PySideForAndroid
>
> The guide covers & contains:
> * building PySide for Android from source
> * description of how the PySide port & packaging works on Android
> * an example Python & PySide & Qt Components application in the form of
> an installable standalone APK
> * an example project for the Necessitas Qt Creator + instructions how to
> modify it to generate APKs for custom applications
> * links to source code
> * links to pre-built binaries
>
>
> Screenshots
> http://modrana.org/trac/wiki/ScreenshotsEN#PySideQtComponentsexample
> These screenshots show the example application after it is installed &
> started on an android device (HP Touchpad with CM9 in this case).
> The example application uses MeeGo Qt Components, which are also bundled
> together with a cut-down theme and the other libraries (Python & PySide)
> in the APK.

> Looking forward to your feedback ! :)

> Acknowledgement
> This project is building on the awesome work done previously by others.
> I basically "just" put the puzzle together. :)

> * Thomas Perl - showed that PySide for Android is possible
> * Ssortagem at Github - integrated & improved THPs patches for Shiboken and
> PySide
> * android-python27 - solved the APK bundling issue, created the initial
> Qt Creator Project & provides Android-buildable Python 2.7
> * the BlackBerry-Py project - I've used their PySide build instructions
> as a base when making the Android build scripts
> * the Necessitas project - made Qt on Android possible & provides the
> Necessitas Qt Creator
> * Qt - provided the GUI toolkit :)
> * PySide - provided the Python-Qt bindings
> * Ineans Qt Components - provided the Qt Components used in the example
> application & project
>
> Thanks a lot, without your work, this would not be possible ! :)

> Kind regards
