Google Pixel C Tablet again , Black screen on OpenGL apps?
-
Hi and welcome to devnet,
Since 5.6.0 just got out, can you test against it ?
-
Hi, thank you for your response. Sure I will do that today and report back. I have managed to cross compile Qt 5.5 for nVidia X1 development kit , DRIVEC X (which is the processor used in Pixel C) with nVidia provided 64bit toolchain running on Ubuntu and it is all good. It is only the Android builds that have the issue. I am wondering if this has to do with 64bit architecture! I will try this today on my Mac . Thanks again.

Hi,
Just uninstalled previous (5.5) version of Qt for iOS and Android and installed the 5.6. The same thing. I am trying the QtBase qopenglwindow example which is one of the simplest ones. BTW I cannot do debugging on the device as connection is refused. The helloGL2 sample in Android runs fine through Android Studio but even there I am not able to launch the debugger wither.
Also when I run the Qt sample in Qt Creator I see this on application out put pane:Starting remote process.I art : Late-enabling -Xcheck:jni

Just to be sure we're on the same track. You used the stock version of Qt or did you cross-compile it ?
-
It is stock out of the box on my Mac, Qt 5.6 downloaded this morning. On Ubuntu I have cross compiled Qt from source (5.5) for DRIVECX (Tegra X1) but even there the Qt Android builds are all stock. I just have a separate Qt libs that I have cross compiled for our development for my DRIVECX and that all work fine.
I am now trying to compile a 64 bit Qt app on my Mac by messing with Android-g++ config and it seems that a QtGui and and Qt5Core lib is missing according to the linker. This makes sense if the pre build libs are all 32 bit. I wonder is this is the issue. Maybe I need a set of 64bit Qt libs for android. This is the only difference I can think of , I also noticed that Android NDK platform 21 has 64 bit libs so I changed that in the projects ANDROID_MDH_PLATFORM build Environment variables as the default I think was 9. Do you think this is a 32 v. 64 issue or am I barking up a wrong tree here :)
-
That would make sense indeed.
AFAIK to you should only need to setup ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH in order to have 64 bit build of Qt for Android.
-
Yes After trying a few things and looking in the qmake.conf I did realize that I only had to set that one env variable to do a 64bit build and when I do trying to build the app I get this , do you know of anyone anyone who has ran a Qt OpenGL app on Pixel C ?

Sorry, I'm not aware of somebody owning a Pixel C around me.
Did you rebuild Qt for 64 bit ?
-
noticed that I had to set a few other Env variables
ANDROID_NDK_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX=aarch64-linux-android
ANDROID_NDK_TOOLS_PREFIX=aarch64-linux-androidNo, I am looking in to building Qt from source with the NDK 64bit toolchain, but what is puzzling is why non-opengl apps run?
-
Do you mean widget based app ?
-
Yes, so far any non-OGL app works. I am trying to cross compile with Android 64bit toolchain but in the configure command I seem not to be able to tell it to go to the aarch64 architecture. the qdevice.pri that is generated keeps listing
DEFAULT_ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH = armeabi-v7aSo I am not using the correct compilers. I have exported all the environment variable (BTW I am on Ubuntu) bit it seems that these environment variables are not set in the qmake.conf. What is the configure option to set these?
Thanks
-
Can you show your environment setup and configure call ?

Sorry for the delay , This website was flaky yesterday. I have it all building. I managed (and it took a bit ) to cross compile Qt for 64 bit android using the android-24 NDK platform and toolchains. No luck , but I see a more meaningful message now. The activity fails to start on the device and here is the message
W ActivityThread: Application org.qtproject.example.qopenglwindow can be debugged on port 8100...
E Qt : Can't create main activity
E Qt : java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/user/0/org.qtproject.example.qopenglwindow/lib/libplugins_platforms_android_libqtforandroid.so: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)I do have the ibplugins_platforms_android_libqtforandroid.so in the folder where the app is built. I saw some Qt bug report yesterday and some one mentioned they had the black screen and it was due to third party libs. I tried in the configuration to turn all third party libs disabled or use the Qt Bundle , Here is "final Qt Config report at the end of cross compiling. Is there something I am missing? Any ideas about third part libs or why I get this error on Activity start? Thanks

@SGaist So I did some more looking around and saw a blog post that explained how to use Android Studio to source level debug the Java Activity part of a Qt app. It seem that in createBundeleBinary methot in QtActivity.java
it looks for libqtforandroid.so in /data/usr/0/org.qtproject.example/q-reserved-files/plugins/platforms/android and it does not find it there, there is a msg in the code that I never see on the application window"This application requires Ministro service. Would you like to install it"
which makes sense if it does not find the .so . I never specified using Ministro in the kit. Also /data folder is protected and I
cannot look in it in the adb shell, I suppose unless I root the device which since it is not mine I do not want to do.
Do you have any idea why this so is not installed even though it is in the Android folder when I build, is this
a bug in androiddeplyqt? I have the code but was wondering if you know anything about this. I read in some other
bug reports or discussions that there maybe a bug. Again this happen ONLY on Pixel C , we run fine on other android devices. -
That might be something specific to the Pixel C OS setup.
One thing to check is the properties of your project. IIRC you can select whether you want to use Ministro or embed Qt with your application when deploying.
