Develop for android java issues

[KroMignon]

@Phips04 said in Develop for android java issues:

When I wanted to deploy the app in my mobile (running android 4.4.2), the process threw up several errors,
all of them related to java.

I think your Android version is too old, according to Qt wiki, Android API level 18 (Android 4.3) is required and API 21 (Android 5.0) is recommended.

[Phips04]

My mobile is a samsung galaxy S3 Neo running android 4.4.2, and I'm using QT 5.15.1.
However it told me, that the build process failed because of java. I just copied the details:

I'm not sure, but maybe its not android itself being responsible for the problems.

Did you read the post from @jsulm ?

[Phips04]

This post is deleted!

[J.Hilk]

@Phips04 It does not matter at all what device you attach to your PC,

what does matter is what minimal android version you set inside your manifest. Did you change it there ?

[jsulm]

[Phips04]

@J-Hilk Which file is that?

Do you mean the *.pro file?

[KroMignon]

@Phips04 said in Develop for android java issues:

Do you mean the *.pro file?

No, the Android manifest ==> AndroidManifest.xml
Double click on it in QtCreator to start the editor:

[Phips04]

This is how it actually looks like, the option to set the sdk is disabled.
I made sure, that the sdk's I want to use are installed. (Sry I'm new to qt)

[KroMignon]

@Phips04 Did you check QtCreator Android configuration?

In Tools/Option/Devices, select tab "Android":

[Phips04]

Java and android settings are ok, in the android settings there is no "ndk-bundle". But the second entry exists, as I mentioned OpenSSL is not set

[KroMignon]

@Phips04 said in Develop for android java issues:

in the android settings there is no "ndk-bundle"

This is your problem, ndk-bundle is mandatory for Qt!

Extract from the Qt documentation:
Use the sdkmanager command line tool to update the packages list and then install the essential packages:

cd <ANDROID_SDK_ROOT>/tools/bin/
./sdkmanager --update
./sdkmanager --install "platform-tools" "platforms;android-29" "build-tools;29.0.2" "ndk-bundle"

[Phips04]

Ok, I did it, but the cmd line reported some errors, and there was no effect in qt creator.

[KroMignon]

@Phips04 This seems to be a well know issue with Android:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60730615/sdkmanager-warning-could-not-create-setting-java-lang-illegalargumentexcepti
• https://medium.com/@s89707192/if-you-have-the-issue-652c7c1ad5d0

You can try:

cd <ANDROID_SDK_ROOT>\tools\bin\
sdkmanager --sdk_root="<ANDROID_SDK_ROOT>" --update
sdkmanager --sdk_root="<ANDROID_SDK_ROOT>" --install "platform-tools" "platforms;android-29" "build-tools;29.0.2" "ndk-bundle"

[Phips04]

It worked this way, the bundle is installed now, but I still can't change the minimal android version

[J.Hilk]

@Phips04 do it by hand than, open the android manifest.xml in a text editor
and change the version there

[Phips04]

The .xml can be evaluated and I set the entries. Min sdk is 21 (android 5) and target is 27 (android 8.1). The error still is the same

[KroMignon]

@Phips04 said in Develop for android java issues:

What do you mean with "you can't"? Is the dropdown combobox grayed out or is the list empty?
Do you have restart Qt Creator after updating SDK root?

[Phips04]

Yes the combobox was grayed (I set the entries in the xml file via text editor, now I can edit the boxes) and I restarted Qt creator.

[KroMignon]

@Phips04 I know how have written "Java settings are ok", but which JDK version are you using?

AFAIK, gradle do NOT work with JDK > 11, and recommended version is still JDK 8.
