    @ekkescorner said in Android app doesn't run:

    @mzimmers perhaps you run into this: https://forum.qt.io/post/785169

    This definitely helps. Combined with regenerating the android files, and deleting the build directory, I'm past that error. (I'm onto another error, but I think this is my doing. I'm posting the relevant output here.)

    E project.exampl: Not starting debugger since process cannot load the jdwp agent.

    I think this has to do with a recent restructuring of my project files and folders.

    So:

    • delete the build directory
    • clear your Qt Creator cache
    • use Creator to generate but NOT modify AndroidManifest.xml

    appears to be a successful procedure, if my above assumption about my project restructuring is true. I'll do some more experimentation and report back.

    Oh, I tried 12.0.2...no improvement. Thanks for the link, though.

    this lib is needed in your app. Add it to your build script.

        @ekkescorner @JoeCFD thanks for the suggestions.

        After fixing the problem in my project structure, I am now able to load the program through Creator, sometimes. Sometimes I get the original error. I am also able to load the .apk from the command line (outside of Creator), so I'm reasonably confident the problem isn't in how my .apk is built.

        I'm trying to ascertain why I'm still having only intermittent success with Creator. When I can determine a reliable procedure, I'll post it here.

          Hi all - I need to return my attention to this -- I've got to get this working.

          All my build setup items seem in place, and the project builds for Android just fine. But when I try to deploy and run, I get this same old error message:

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

          Can anyone give me an idea what's going wrong here? Thanks...

            what's your actual environment ?
            Qt version, QtCreator Version
            JDK, NDK, Java API
            QMake or CMake

                have you created (updated) Android Templates so all fits together ?

                    Google has changed this long time ago. Now Min and Target are managed by Gradle and not the Manifest.

                      That editor is badly broken. I recommend avoiding it: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-27119

                      As a quick sanity check, create a new "Hello World" project. Does that build and run correctly?

                          @JKSH OK, built a new project. I configured it for Android, but there's nothing in the CMakeLists.txt file about Android. (I didn't add any of the stuff that @ekkescorner mentions on his web page.) When I build, I get an error:

                          :-1: error:      aapt2.exe E 08-18 19:22:13 16988 23404 ApkAssets.cpp:149] Failed to load resources table in APK 'C:\Users\michael.zimmers\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platforms\android-35\android.jar'.

                          So, I'm not sure where to go from here. It's hard to tell whether the problem is in my Android setup, or my specific project settings.

                          @mzimmers running Qt Examples without changes this should work without creating and modifying templates.
                          If examples don't run there seems to be something wrong with your Android / QtC installation
                          BTW: you can verify the settings for min and target. go to your build dir and take a look at

                          build
                              android-build
                                    gradle.properties

                            @ekkescorner just to be clear, this error didn't come from one of the presupplied Qt examples. I created it using the project wizard.

                            Here are the version settings in my gradle.properties file:

                            androidBuildToolsVersion=33.0.0
                            androidCompileSdkVersion=android-35
                            androidNdkVersion=25.1.8937393
                            qtMinSdkVersion=23
                            qtTargetAbiList=arm64-v8a
                            qtTargetSdkVersion=31
                            

                            They don't seem to match what you indicated would be correct.

                            BTW: Is there a typo in this section of your page?

                            Qt supports these API Level:

                            Qt 6.8 MIn API 28 (Android 9)
                            see QTBUG-124890

                              this is from one of my 6.7.1 apps:

                              android.useAndroidX=true
                              androidBuildToolsVersion=34.0.0
                              androidCompileSdkVersion=android-34
                              androidNdkVersion=26.1.10909125
                              qtMinSdkVersion=26
                              qtTargetAbiList=arm64-v8a
                              qtTargetSdkVersion=34
                              

                              QMake or CMake - always the same for my projects

                              BTW: some examples from create (update) Templates I did:

                                OK, but...given that this file is built for me, clearly I don't want to just make changes to it. Where are the settings that populate the contents of this file when it's built? Is there something wrong with my Preferences -> Devices -> Android settings?

                                  don't know what's wrong
                                  seems you have built with android-35
                                  dont know if this works with 6.5
                                  have no experiences with 6.5 - started my Qt 6 development with 6.6
                                  you can try to change this to 33, what's supported by 6.5

                                    @ekkescorner I changed to 33; no success. I then deleted all my Qt project cache and rebuilt. It now works...sort of. I'm going to have a bunch more questions, but it's time to close out this thread and start a new one. Thank you for all the help.

                                      @mzimmers said in Android app doesn't run:

                                      I then deleted all my Qt project cache and rebuilt. It now works

                                      this is always the first thing if something wrong with build or if templates created or QtC changed: delete the build dir physically - not only build-clean in QtC
                                      sorry - forgot to ask you about ;-)
                                      good that it's working

                                        @ekkescorner just to be clear, for me it was not sufficient to delete the build directory. I had to go into home\AppData\Roaming\QtProject and delete all the files in there.

                                          this is the folder where QtC stores Settings on windows ?
                                          I never use the default settings location for QtC to avoid problems if different QtC versions are installed. I always start QtC with a specific settings folder for each installation.
