Is this crash due to loading large Android expansion files as a Qt external resource file?
-
I have written my first app for Android with Qt and some ANR reports has been received. (They all look like the code at the end).
From the output I can see that the problem is related to the function:
QResource::registerResource()
and it throws because of the new operator. The file to be loaded as an external Qt resource file is very large (500MB+).
I am unable to reproduce the ANR on any of my devices, but I do not have any of the devices the ANR is reported on.
So far the possible problems might be:
- The QResource::registerResource() function might be slow and blocking (running in GUI thread) and therefor the application might crash?
- If, when using QResource::registerResource(), the whole file is loaded into memory and since the file is so large the Android OS refuses to allocate any more memory? (From Qt Doc: "When loaded at run time the resource file will be loaded as one big set of data")
I am sure that some other Qt developer deploying for Android must have had a large Android expansion file. How did you solve it? Any guidance is much appreciated!

Hi,
A qrc from 500MB ? I really doubt it, I'm even surprised that the files succeeded to compile. It looks rather like a job for Android's assets
-
@SGaist Android assets bundle the data with the app and Google has a 100MB limit of the executable (APK).
-
I reduced the qrc file to 420MB and it works. This is however NOT a solution, but this might mean that there is a limit on the Android OS? Or is it related to Qt?
-
The application is limited to 50MB but you can use APK expansion files
I'd rather go with a limit on the hardware/platform.
-
I am using APK expansion files! The expansion file is a Qt QRC file compiled with rcc tool...
