Can't create main activity after upgrading to Qt 5.3.2
-
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): 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,

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.

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.

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