[QtSystemInfo] [QDeviceInfo] can't use this on Android

[FrankiPL]

Hi All,

I was using QSystemDeviceInfo to get IMEI from my phone on qt4, now I'm switching to qt5, so as I read I need QDeviceInfo from add-on module https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtsystems.

I have cloned this with git and compiled/installed using gcc qmake, it went fine.

However, I can't do it with android qmake, it fails when I want to install this.
So my app is not compiling, I have copied include files into
5.3/android_armv7/include/QtSystemInfo/
So I can include QDeviceInfo in project files, but obviously application fails during linking procedure with:
error: undefined reference to 'QDeviceInfo::QDeviceInfo(QObject*)

Below is what I'm doing to compile QtSystemInfo for android, qt 5.3, what am I doing wrong ?

cd Qt/5.3/Src

I know that I'm doing this not as a root, but installing libqtsystems.so in my Linux /libs directory won't solve my android problem?

Hi,

IIRC, currently it's not implemented for iOS, android and blackberry

[FrankiPL]

Hi,

There is a thread on this forum where someone asks about getting IMEI/IMSI from phone and they suggest him using QtSystems module (for Sailfish OS)
http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/33785

Should I use older qt than 5.3.1 like 5.2 or something ? I think it's quite impossible that this modules is not implemented for android in all qt5 branch ?

All the best
Marek

[SGaist]

What OS was your phone running ? And how where you getting the IEMI ?

SailfishOS is another beast.

It has just not yet been implemented

[FrankiPL]

Hi,

Sorry for late answer.
I'm running Android 4.1, I'm developing on Linux.
Getting IMEI is pretty straightforward:
@
sysInfo=new QDeviceInfo(this);
qDebug()<<"NetManager::NetManager imei:"<<sysInfo->imei(0)
@

If you know any other way to get unique phone id or sim card id, please tell me.

best regards
Marek

Could you explain how to build the addon module on windows?

thanks in advance

On windows, I don't know. I'm developing on Linux and it was easy:

franki@franki:~/Qt/5.3/Src/qtsystems$ ../../gcc_64/bin/qmake
franki@franki:~/Qt/5.3/Src/qtsystems$ make
franki@franki:~/Qt/5.3/Src/qtsystems$ make install

[metaDom]

hmm too bad, anyone else got a successful compilation on windows?

Hello,

I tried with Qt 5.3.0 but is doesn't work, I have a lot of error when it compile.

[SGaist]

What OS ?

[mr_wallyit]

Hello,

I use Windows 8.1 (Italian version) with Qt creator 3.1.1 and Qt 5.3.0 (MingW32)

[SGaist]

What error message are you getting ?

[mr_wallyit]

Hello,
this is step by step:

I copied qt-qtsystems in C:\Qt\Qt5.3.0\Examples\Qt-5.3

run QtCreator and open the “ qtsystems.pro” project file

get to “Projects->(Your Kit)->Build->Build Steps”

add a new make “Build Step” and write to the “Make arguments” the install target

from the menus, select “Rebuild Project qtserialport”

When i build the project I don't have error, but the In the my project Android
I have this Error:

C:\Users\pc\qt-project\Booking\main.cpp:50: error: 'QDeviceInfo' was not declared in this scope
QDeviceInfo sysInfo=new QDeviceInfo(this);
^
I tried with this source code:

QDeviceInfo sysInfo=new QDeviceInfo(this);
qDebug()<<"NetManager::NetManager imei:"<<sysInfo->imei(0);

Thanks

First thing, it's not an example, it's a Qt module, you should rather place it in the same source path as e.g. qtbase.

Like I wrote before, it's not yet implemented for Android
