QNetworkRequest not working on qt 5.8 and android 7.0

GTDev

I'm not sure about the behavior when these libraries are missing, but in my opinion modern applications should be able to handle SSL so I suggest to include the libraries anyways.
If you want to avoid having to manually build and provide the SSL libraries for Android, V-Play Engine comes with already bundled SSL libs since version 2.10.0.

Best,

Hi,

I have the same issue in my android app when run on Android 7. The application not uses https, and the request is make by javascript with XMLHttpRequest in a qml component.

The android application crash when start a new request for the remote service.

Why Qt require openssl for http request?

I follow the tip described here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/opensslsupport.html, but not work for me.

Any solution for this?

I found a solution for this problem with OpenSSL in Android 7.

Create a sh file with the code below and execute in same dir of openssl tar.gz file. The version tested is 1.0.2. The file can be download here: https://www.openssl.org/source/. This script will generate the .so files: libcrypto.so and libssl.so.

#!/bin/sh
tar xzvf ~/Downloads/openssl-1.0.2g.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.2g
# path to android ndk folder
export NDK=~/qt/android-ndk-r13b
$NDK/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh --platform=android-9 --toolchain=arm-linux-androideabi-4.6 --install-dir=`pwd`/android-toolchain-arm
export TOOLCHAIN_PATH=`pwd`/android-toolchain-arm/bin
export TOOL=arm-linux-androideabi
export NDK_TOOLCHAIN_BASENAME=${TOOLCHAIN_PATH}/${TOOL}
export CC=$NDK_TOOLCHAIN_BASENAME-gcc
export CXX=$NDK_TOOLCHAIN_BASENAME-g++
export LINK=${CXX}
export LD=$NDK_TOOLCHAIN_BASENAME-ld
export AR=$NDK_TOOLCHAIN_BASENAME-ar
export RANLIB=$NDK_TOOLCHAIN_BASENAME-ranlib
export STRIP=$NDK_TOOLCHAIN_BASENAME-strip
export ARCH_FLAGS="-mthumb"
export ARCH_LINK=
export CPPFLAGS=" ${ARCH_FLAGS} -fpic -ffunction-sections -funwind-tables -fstack-protector -fno-strict-aliasing -finline-limit=64 "
export CXXFLAGS=" ${ARCH_FLAGS} -fpic -ffunction-sections -funwind-tables -fstack-protector -fno-strict-aliasing -finline-limit=64 -frtti -fexceptions "
export CFLAGS=" ${ARCH_FLAGS} -fpic -ffunction-sections -funwind-tables -fstack-protector -fno-strict-aliasing -finline-limit=64 "
export LDFLAGS=" ${ARCH_LINK} "
# the target of libraries files is armv7
cd ~/Downloads/openssl-1.0.2g && ./Configure android-armv7 shared

After run the script, open the Makefile and execute the step 5 described here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/opensslsupport.html. After edit the Makefile, execute the next commands (into openssl extracted folder) to generate the .so files.

make clean && PATH=$TOOLCHAIN_PATH:$PATH make

Now, move the .so files to your project.
To package the .so files into apk, add the below code into .pro file of the project:

    contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,arm) {
        # update the path of the libraries where you put in your project.
        # I put in: myapp/android/libs/openssl/armeabi-v7a/:
        ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS = \
            $$PWD/android/libs/openssl/armeabi-v7a/libcrypto.so \
            $$PWD/android/libs/openssl/armeabi-v7a/ibssl.so
    }

@Joseneas uups ... just did test running one of my projects moved from 5.7 to 5.8 on a Google Pixel C tablet with Android 7.0
and the same happens here: App is crashing

running same app from Qt 5.7 all works on Android 7
this app only uses http://

I'm trying to make it run - see discussion in https://forum.qt.io/topic/76978/android-how-to-install-so-file

Hi,

I compiled libcrypt.so and libssl.so (v1.1.0e). But, when i include in my app i have a crash in android 7.
If i put off this .so i can test my app in Android 7 but with this warning

W linker : library "libcrypto.so" ("/system/lib/libcrypto.so") needed or dlopened by "/data/app/pe.com.medicalint-1/lib/arm/libQt5Core.so" is not accessible for the namespace "classloader-namespace" - the access is temporarily granted as a workaround for http://b/26394120, note that the access will be removed in future releases of Android.

What can i do for do my App in Android 7?

@Tchaumont for me it works. see also here
https://forum.qt.io/topic/77150/qt-5-8-qnam-openssl-crash-openssl_threads
from comments seems to work for others too

jsulm

@Tchaumont said in QNetworkRequest not working on qt 5.8 and android 7.0:

i have a crash in android 7

What exactly happens? Error message?

m.abed

@Tchaumont whats NDK version u use?
i think should use for now r10e
