Qt android port
-
Necessitas alpha 4 is now available for download. There is no information on whether multimedia features have finally been implemented thou, which is fairly important, at least for me.
-
Digia said it would ' quickly ' enable Qt on Android and ios. I thought they may work with the exist ios and Android ports, from Ian and Bogdan. No information on the ios port. There site shows 20% completion for a long time. This may be still in consideration, once they fully acquire Qt from Nokia.

HAHAHA!!! :D

@Jayakrishnan..
"Quickly" can be a fairly relative term, especially considering what we'd like to expect as "quickly" includes the actual acquisitions of the framework, which will likely take some time itself. I wouldn't hold my breath literally :)
I wouldn't be surprised if Digia decides to do a port of Qt5 instead (which would mean wait for Qt5 to be finalized too). Necessitas is using Qt4, which is not a bad thing on its own, but it might also be using the old platform infrastructure instead of QPA/Lighthouse.

The transfer of Qt to Digia should complete this month right ?
-
Not quite. The deal should now be officially finished. Actually making it all work - as I imagine - might take some more time. This is not easy stuff. 100+ people need to have their paperwork updated, trademarks have to be transferred, new management structure built, new targets set... but maybe my imagination is too vibrant here. There is a possibility it will be finished quickly and easily. We just don't know, that's my point :)

I am so glad I have nothing to do with any of that admin...
-
Any news about Qt for Android? May be just rumors... I'm waiting for official Android support with holding breath.
-
I think the timeline is Q2 of 2013, I think I read it on Digia blog, not sure.
-
In short, don't hold your breath (literally) - the Qt blog is very quiet since Digia took over, at least compared to before, my guess is there isn't much going on to report of.
I would be nice to have some more information and perhaps a nice roadmap of what exactly is Digia planning on and when it is to be expected...
-
Digia would like to port Qt5 to android and ios, but Qt5 is developing.
Maybe we wouldn't get any excited informations before Qt5 release. -
There is a session for Qt roadmap at Qt dev conference Berlin

Good news, do anybody know some good news related to ios?
As an indi, I would choose ios as a platform rather than android
since android run on too many kind of hardware. -
