Device incompatible?

SGaist

Hi,

Did you do any update to your system in between ? For example: NDK, Android OS, Qt Creator ?

@SGaist I probably got an android update since the last time I used it. I didn't update Qt creator or NDK since the last time I used it.

@mvuori reboots did not fix this, unfortunately.

SGaist

Can you get it listed if you use the adb command directly ?

kgregory

@SGaist yes the adb devices -l command lists the device.

SGaist

Do you have only one adb executable in your system ?

kgregory

@SGaist that's the only one I know of. the adb command only works when I'm in the /AndroidSDK/platform-tools directory.

SGaist

It's the same that's is configured in Qt Creator ?

kgregory

@SGaist I'm not really sure. Where is that configured?

SGaist

I would say path to the NDK.

kgregory

@SGaist Yes its the same location that I have configured for devices > android

SGaist

I just realised, did you build your application using an API version which is higher than what your Android version supports ?

kgregory

I tried building for API level 24. It says my device is API level 24. I was building for API level 25 at some point but I think I may have switched it after I was finished testing in order to deploy to google play.

@kgregory I would also try a different USB-cable, I spend a couple of hours with a similar problem. Apparently my cable broke just enough that the device was detected, but I was unable to transfer any data in-between.

kgregory

@J.Hilk I tried a couple of different USB cables and ports to no avail.

I then thought it would be a good idea to update Qt, so I did (to 4.8.0). After that, creator will no longer launch at all. I get a brief 'busy' graphic and then nothing happens when I try to launch it. So I un-installed Qt and re-installed from scratch but I have the same symptom now. I also tried re-booting my machine.

@kgregory

Could it be you've hit QTCREATORBUG-21780.

Try starting QtCreator with -noload Android parameter and see if that helps.

kgregory

@aha_1980 yes I can successfully launch it that way, but I need Android. Sounds like I'm stuck waiting for a bug fix or a work around?

aha_1980

@kgregory it should be fixed in Creator 4.8.1

till then use the workaround described in the report.

kgregory

@aha_1980 ok I followed the work around and am able to launch QtCreator.

However, now I get the following messages when I select a kit:

The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
2019-01-04T22:34:33 Clang Code Model: Error: The clangbackend executable "C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\clangbackend.exe" could not be started (timeout after 10000ms).
clang++.exe: error: unknown argument: '-mthumb-interwork'
Project ERROR: failed to parse default search paths from compiler output

I had been using the mingw compiler previously. I tried to set up the mingw compiler and none of the Auto-Detected kits use it. I tried to create a kit manually and when I select that compiler for c++, the icon next to the kit turns to a red exclamation point. I don't see any messages about what the issue is there.

Thanks for the help so far... this is super annoying... Me right now >:-|
