Steps to reproduce

• Use easy Installer (remember to install into /opt/necessitas while installer offers only /opt)
• Create new mobile product testproject
• //comment not found Qt:WA orientation code and add Q_UNUSED(orientation to setOrientation function which has a 'build' problem
• Configure Run Settings as told in wiki (https://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/wiki/How%20to%20write%20Qt%20apps%20for%20Android/)

PROBLEM ROOT:
./testproject/android/build.xml contains non-configured/hardcoded project attribute which makes installation to fail via Creator Run

-> Apk generated by build.xml is QtActivity_debug.apk and Creator thinks that there should be testproject_debug.apk ready for adb install
-> File seems to be always re-generated when Qt project is updated which makes build.xml changing impossible

WORKAROUND: To be able to use Qt Creator's Run feature, you must rename your app to QtAcitivity by
Projects -> Android (Run) -> Application -> Application name: QtActivity

• summary: Cannot run application "Install failed" --> Cannot run application "Package instalation failed File not found:"

An alternative workaround is to create a custom process step in QT Creator under run settings that renames/copies QtActivity-debug.apk to match the name of the application. Somewhat cumbersome, but after it's configured it's less painful.

Command: cp

Working directory: <projectpath>/android/bin

Command arguments: -f QtActivity-debug.apk projectname<-debug>.apk

I don't know the quick macros in QT that define the custom project paths of android Qt {buildDir} doesn't work.

A little additional information.

build.xml is updated with the "QtActivity" as project name when qtcreator runs (in my case):

android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/android update project -p /home/villyft/src/Tester/android -t android-8

Which is done from:

android-qt-creator/src/plugins/qt4projectmanager/qt-android/qt4androidtarget.cpp

in the updateProject() function

If I goto the AndroidManifest.xml for my "Tester" project and change the "QtActivity" in

 <activity android:name="eu.licentia.necessitas.industrius.QtActivity" android:label="@string/app_name">

To "Tester" then build.xml will contain the correct name "Tester" after update. But the application crashes more or less immediately when deployed onto an AVD.

I'm on Ubuntu 10.10. Android NDK R5b, android SDK r10. And my target is an Android 2.2 AVD.
