Awesome! Great work! Thank you for your work and time spent!

Great Logo!

Isn't that the same as from Lighthouse?
http://code.google.com/p/android-lighthouse/

Yes this is the same project, although for free storage and infrastructure reasons we had to use sourceforge too.

How is the binary necessitas sdk built? The git section here on sf.net is empty... I've cloned the android-lighthouse and qt-creator repos from gitourious but I couldn't figure out how the binary sdk is obtained. Could you shed some light on this?

The installer source code is not shared by BogDan certainly because he didn't got the time to add it to any scm, I will ask him about this.

I [Compile Qt framework] and [Compile QtCreator] and then I'm using http://www.installjammer.com/ to create the SDK.

Hi: How do I include the android libraries to my Qt Project?

I mean, for example access the GPS or clinometers?

THX

Currently the port of Qt Mobility isn't finished but should provide access to this elements. If you want to help the Qt mobility port you are welcome, however you can use gps and so on by doing your own JNI bindings to wait the Qt Mobility port, although if you do it, it could be cool that you integrate your work to the Qt Mobility port, because it would help others too.

Hi Rommel,

Did you had any luck accessing the android libraries?

I got stuck with activity.getSystemService(String serviceName)... How can I get the activity where QT is running from?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Carlos:
I'm sorry to say that I just quit trying, I was only experimenting with Necessitas, I'm not in a hurry or something. I'm not capable of doing the bindings by myself, so I will wait.
Sorry for not been helpful :-S

ok.

I managed to make an application to use the GPS service. You can see the post here:

http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/41698-QT-in-Android-Example-for-accessing-the-GPS-Service

This wiki somehow does not allow to post the full story.

There is some critical information for BogDan Vatra et al.

Hope this will help others.

Thanks.

Excellent work!!!
Question - Can I embed flash content? If so how?

It seems not possible for the moment, even if Qt Webkit works you won't get the flash plugin running on your device as a mozilla npapi plugin (supported by QtWebkit). Flash isn't open source, so it seems hard to me to port it for this use case.

"/home/mgreene/android-sdk-linux_x86" doesn't seem to be an Android SDK top folder - I keep getting this error message despite reinstalling SDK and necessitas several times. I am using Ubuntu, ant 1.8,OpenJDK, and installed in /opt/necessitas

Did you follow the instructions [Setup Android SDK], because you need to update your sdk with the graphical manager included in it. :)

Please don't open Qt Creator while SDK is installing.

Just to point out an error in default build configuration, the shared libraries (included via Qt Creator Left Pane -> Projects -> Run -> Libraries -> PreBundled Libraries) names should not be "libLIBNAME.so" in libs.xml but only "LIBNAME".

BogDan,

let me first thank you for this fabulous work. It is a pleasure to use it.
I have a problem migrating an existing linux project to necessitas.
The project consists of an executable and a static library (2 "subprojects")
Everything compiles, a lib...a is created for the static library.
However, when I try to deploy the app, necessitas tries to copy a lib...so to the device. This shared library, however, does not exist.

Did I misconfigure something?

I also encountered the same issue as above (@turtlerace). I just did a temporary workaround by making a dummy lib...so for further processing :p and have successfully deployed my project after that :)
I am also looking forward to proper solution for the above issue

Thanks viny, splendid idea. I changed to shared linking only for this project which also works. But I want to go back to static when it will be possible.

@turtlerace
Please open an issues about it, I'll fix it soon.

@viny
Thank you !

I am having a problem in using custom imageformats qt-plugin in my qt-application-on-android. I am using a custom image format for performance issue and use custom imageformats plugin for this. On linux-x86 it works just fine by adding the plugin library path as
QApplication::addLibraryPath("PLUGIN_LIB_PATH");
and I can load the images properly in my application.

I have tried the same way by adding the plugin-library path as above on android but it doesn't work. Pushing the libraries in default plugin path "/data/data/eu.licentia.necessitas.ministro/files/qt/plugins/imageformats" also didn't work.

Since on android, we have to manually load Qt libraries also, so I tried manually loading the plugin library in QtApplication.java itself. It loads the plugin library successfully as seen in adb logcat, but still the images cannot shown in the application.

Could someone give me some idea about how can I use custom Qt-plugin to work for my application to run on android successfully?

How can i use the android's API in my Necessitas's Project??

According to necessitas' source code, you can use QtAndroidBridge::m_javavm static variable pointing to the Dalvik JVM and JNI to use Android API.

I have an application with bundled libs, but when I try to deploy it the budled libs don't get loaded. The application output reports findLibrary fails for each of them and then the main application fails because the dependency fails. I haven't seen a demo of one working with bundled libs so any help would be appreciated.
