[Qt-creator] Qt Creator and Android

[Harri Pasanen]

Hi,

I'm toying with Qt Creater 3.0.1pre + Qt 5.2.0 Android on Kubuntu 13.10 
amd64,
testing with Android x86 emulator.  My development PC is a rather good 
desktop PC with 4 core i7 cpu and 16Gb of memory.

Some observations:

At first I thought that qDebug() was not working, but then I noticed 
that the output was lost between the chatter from dalvikvm.  The Qt 
output seems prefixed with D/Qt and is also high-lighted in red, but if 
there is just a line or two that scroll by fast, it is easy to miss.

It is possible to filter the application output in Qt Creator?  Like 
display only lines matching a regex, or even just having a given prefix?

Starting up an application in the emulator or a Nexus 7 seems to take a 
while, around 15-20 seconds for a minimal app.   So if possible, having 
a desktop target is advisable, as there the startup times are sub-second.

Many of the example apps, even those tagged with android do not work 
very well yet. Perhaps some QA there might be in order.

Adding the application icons via the Run settings/Deploy 
configurations/Create AndroidManifest.xml does not seem to work in this 
snapshot.  Has this been fixed?   It was also not obvious to me how do I 
edit the created AndroidManifest.xml.   When creating it again, it does 
propose to overwrite the existing one, but no option to edit the old one 
is there.   Only later I noticed that the manifest file had popped up in 
the Edit tab Project tree under Other files/android where it can be edited.

Anyway, despite these minor niggles, it looks very promising!   So I'll 
continue playing with it.

What is the best forum/mailing list to discuss Qt 5.x on Android?

Cheers,

Harri
