Qt 5.12 (Beta) + Android (Clang) = App Crash

koahnig

In here ist says
Note: If your Qt version is earlier than v5.9, use the SDK tools package v25.2.5 or earlier.

Not sure if ot makes sense to have the most recent sdk version even if it does not explicit say so.

Ray Gray

If I understand correctly, my Qt is > 5.9, therefore SDK tools > 25.2.5 should be fine .

@Ray-Gray you may consider Qt in [5.9 ... 5.12] a grey zone where clang is not well supported see this post for instance

@Pablo-J-Rogina

According to QTBUG-67464 and Markus' comment here, clang should be now fully supported.

Did you check already on google's qt on android group?

@koahnig

Checked there, but the group seems quite inactive...

I finally managed to fix the problem. App doesn't crash when compiled with NDK16b!

install Android Studio (if not already installed)
download NDK16b and extract it to any location (in my case 'D:\sdk\android-ndk-r16b')
start Qt Creator
select menu Tools > Options > Devices, tab Android
set proper android SDK paths:
click OK
open your project (.pro)
Important! Delete folder containing previous (shadow) build (see path under 'Build directory'):
under Projects (left bar) > Build & Run, activate Android configuration
compile & run

Great! Thanks for your feedback

hello,
I've got the similar problem when changing the Qt from 5.11.1 to 5.12.0
It seems like crashed when the Android App start openning.
After some tracing, I finally found that, the reason is, the App hasn't got the permissions of reading&writing local extra storage. After I add the according permissions mannualy (in system management) , the App runs OK.
The 'permission' also can be added by this way below:
