error when trying to deploy Android application.

mzimmers

@JoeCFD from above:

Activity Manager threw the error: Error type 3
Error: Activity class {org.qtproject.example/org.qtproject.qt.android.bindings.QtActivity} does not exist.
08:32:06: 

"org.qtproject.example" died.

@mzimmers said in error when trying to deploy Android application.:

{org.qtproject.example/org.qtproject.qt.android.bindings.QtActivity} does not exist

What was the version of Qt you used before?

mzimmers

@JoeCFD same version (6.4.2). I had to reinstall because I messed up some file permissions in my original copy.

JoeCFD

@mzimmers the path org.qtproject.example/org.qtproject.qt.android.bindings.QtActivity seems not right. Is it org.qtproject.qt.android.bindings.QtActivity? Do you have a folder: org.qtproject.example? or do you have a customized QtActivity?

Honestly, I don't recall where I got any of the contents for my android folder. I think it was all auto-generated for me.

Are you suggesting that I remove the "org.qtproject.example" portion?

Do you have a folder: org.qtproject.example?

No.

or do you have a customized QtActivity?

No.

JoeCFD

@mzimmers Make a copy of your AndroidManifest.xml and delete it from your project.
Then create a new one to see if it helps. If you made changes in it, add them in.

Better to keep your working code inside git or svn. Then you will have fewer troubles.

mzimmers

@JoeCFD my AndroidManifest.xml is indeed under git, and it hasn't changed. I don't remember how I created it the first time; can you tell me how this is usually performed?

Thanks...

@mzimmers

"Create template" copy android project under your project.

mzimmers

@piervalli aha!

So, can I just give my package any name I want? It didn't seem to like "org.qtproject.example."

JoeCFD

@mzimmers Sorry. It seems ok. It is a default package name. I have a different one. But it should not matter. I guess it is something else.

The only thing I can remember is to enable this app run on the settings of tablet. You can try to copy your apk into the tablet and install it to see if it works. I guess you know where it is located.

mzimmers

@JoeCFD no, you definitely were on the right track. I went ahead and regenerated the templates, renamed my package and it works now.

Also, when I regenerated the templates, my new file had this line in it (FWIW):

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_CHECKIN_PROPERTIES"/>

Thank you both for the help...this Android stuff sure is complicated (and somewhat fragile).

JoeCFD

@mzimmers Do not upgrade Qt(especially 6) too often and keep working code. Now you know how to create xml file which will be changed more by you in the future

@mzimmers

Yes, you can change the name,changes logo and a customer permissions etc..
