    Hello,

    The project I am working on was started with Qt 5.2 (Android app/Linux 64-bit dev host). Upgrading to the various releases hasn't been an issue until today.

    After upgrading to Qt 5.3.2, my app builds fine, but during deployment to the Android target, I get the following error/output:
    E/Qt (16812): Can't create main activity
    E/Qt (16812): java.io.FileNotFoundException: --Added-by-androiddeployqt--/qml/QtQuick/Controls/Styles/Desktop/BusyIndicatorStyle.qml

    E/Qt (16812): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

    This occurs with all my projects, but the samples I've tried all work.

    Has there been a change that requires me to update my code?

    I don't see any obvious differences in the sample code to the way I am doing things.

    Switching back to Qt 5.3.1 allows my projects to build/deploy perfectly.

    Any ideas?

    Thx,

    -k

      You are using a BusyIndicatorStyle object and androiddeployqt reference the wrong file. It's trying to use the desktop file. Can you paste your code witch include your custom busyindicator?

        That's odd, as I am not using any busy indicator at all - custom or otherwise.

        I am not sure what code to post (or what I can post as it is proprietary) and there are several thousand lines of code, spanning multiple projects (main project and test code - all exhibit the same problem).

        As this only happens when I try to deploy using 5.3.2, but all work fine with 5.3.1, I would think my code is fine, excepting any required changes needed for the new version... are there any?

          Hey. I have the same problem. Everything is working fine with Qt-5.3.1. I just wanted to upgrade to Qt-5.3.2, for no specific reason. I have compiled both of them from source. I switched the same way that with all previous versions, just exported PATH to have new bin/qmake.

          Now, when I start the installed Qt-android-app, it tries to use Desktop BusyIndicatorStyle.qml:

          @java.io.FileNotFoundException: —Added-by-androiddeployqt—/qml/QtQuick/Controls/Styles/Desktop/BusyIndicatorStyle.qml@

          For obvious reasons, there is no such file. But I don't why it is trying to use it.

          Edit: To make it clear, I have never used any BusyIndicator or that kind of style in my project.

            It seems, that Qt-5.4_alpha does not have this problem.

              I found the problem(s), and they all stem from androiddeployqt, which is severely buggy.

              When deploying an Android app, androiddeployqt adds a whole bunch of useless crap to the project's android-build/res/values/libs.xml file, including a lot of desktop qml files. The irony is that the "missing" file in question actually exists right where the error message insists it isn't, in android-build/--Added-by-androiddeployqt--/qml/QtQuick/Controls/Styles/Desktop/.

              Commenting out all the unnecessary files (or even just the one it complains about) breaks the build with random errors about QtWebKit/plugins.qmltypes.

              I hope they finally get around to fixing this in the next release - that and the broken support for custom plugin types with androiddeployqt.

                Have a similar problem in 5.4.1

                E/Qt (18743): Can't create main activity
                E/Qt (18743): java.io.FileNotFoundException: --Added-by-androiddeployqt--/qml/QtQuick/Controls/Private/CalendarHeaderModel.qml

                  Had a similar problem, the solution was the put build directory in the top of file system. lengthy paths seem to upset androiddeployqt.
