Deploying on other platforms as well

tomy

I'm very new on both Qt, and Android programming so I spare it for latter to decide and for the time being I choose them separately for each type of codes/platforms.

I found this and had a look at the Running an App in the Android Emulator section and have this emulator.

Now I have that and also a folder named Andapp1 of the Docs example. There is no .apk extension file to run on an Android device!

I'm trying to find how to run that project using that emulator. (Rather complicated).

@tomy When you run your application does it pop up a window as to where to run the app?
The apk is created somewhere in the build folder. Check the build logs.

@p3c0
There is no Build folder. Have I gone wrongly? :-(

When I run Andapp1 project using Qt Creator, this window comes up and the OK key is grayed out and it's not possible to select Nexus-5 there!
By double clicking on Nexus-5 there, I get these errors at the bottom of the Qt Creator:

Error while building/deploying project Andapp1 (kit: Android for armeabi-v7a (GCC 4.9, Qt 5.8.0))
When executing step "Deploy to Android device"

@tomy Didn't you add new AVD as you checked here?

Do you recommend reading the instructions written that link please? Or you have used a more plain and clear tut for creating a virtual android devicd to test Android apps?

No, because in Kit section, The armeabi-v7a and x86 were on the list for the new project. And I simply chose armeabi-v7a.
AVD Manager cadre is still empty there!

@tomy You need to create new Android Virtual Device so that it will be listed in the manager. Choose it and deploy on it.
If you have a physical device then it is more easier. Just turn on USB Debugging, connect the device to your machine, run you app, choose your physical device from the list, wait for it to deploy and execute. That's it.

@p3c0
No I don't have an physical Android device (I use an iPhone).

So I need to firstly create a new virtual device so that it will be listed on the AVD Manager. Then adding it and running the app.

OK, I go for it, but what tut do you suggest me to follow. And please bear in mind it's the first time for me.

Yes.

Yes I do understand. Honestly speaking the Qt Docs are quite enough. What you are looking for is here:
http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-developing-android.html
And the emulator part on that page is here:
http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-developing-android.html#using-the-android-emulator

OK, thanks.
I follow them.

I tried, but no success on the issue unfortunately. :-(
