Thanks for the reply ,will certainly try the QtSpalshScreen thing when I get on the machine with the proper environment.I have noticed that when you start a new android project with Qt creator the project just runs fine. It is only when I import an external project in my instance of Qt Creator that the problem occurs.I decided to just learn a few basics on android native development ,deal with problems in the native environment ,and hopefuly it will be easier to deal with these on the Qt side of things.
