[Qt-creator] Problem with Android SDK tools and platform SDK

[Harri Pasanen]

Hi again,

Qt 5.14.2 does work in the end, after fixing the tools and SDK
configuration as described before.

It just defaults to building armeabi-v7a only.  One has to go to project
setting, android build steps for Qmake, and tick x86 ABI checkbox on to run
in the emulator.
It is not obvious how to make it work, even if it is simple in the end.

As the connected devices architecture should be known, it would be user
friendly to automatically build for those, or default to all if in doubt.

Taking an old Android project that builds with Qt 5.13.1, It still does not
build out of the box with 5.14.2.  It seems
 like old AndroidManifest.xml will need something tweaked, Gradle complains
about deprecated features being used, and fails:

AndroidManifest.xml:16:13-120: AAPT: error: resource array/bundled_in_lib
(aka com.mpaja.stoppola:array/bundled_in_lib) not found.
AndroidManifest.xml:17:13-126: AAPT: error: resource
array/bundled_in_assets (aka com.mpaja.stoppola:array/bundled_in_assets)
not found.


Now I need to find out how to upgrade the AndroidManifest.xml


Anyway, looking quite promising.


Thanks,

Harri
