Not possible to deploy for Android

maydin

I cannot deploy my app for Android. It just does not build and APK and always gives me this error:


FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Error while building/deploying project AppV2 (kit: Android for armeabi-v7a (Clang Qt 5.12.1 for Android ARMv72))
When executing step "Build Android APK"

I removed "|mcc|mnc|density" from Manifest file, cleaned project, tried again but still same error. I am drying to build in debug mode. Also i choose Android-21 for both minimum and target SDK while using android-21 API.

SDK version: 26.1.1
NDK version: 18.1.5063045
Qt version: 12.1

maydin

I updated NDK to latest but didn't work.

Then I changed SDK to 28 from 21, then It compiled. There should be a bug in lower version SDKs I guess.

@maydin

I am using with Qt5.12.1 these versions
0_1552555954574_e867802d-8ce5-4571-925f-6dbb2721dcd9-image.png
Therefore I recommend to upgrade the ndk version

sierdzio

Can you post your manifest here? Or at least line 39 and line containing configChanges?

Cleaned project
Deleted android folder in project
Removed related lines from .PRO
Deleted build folder
Project Settings -> Create template -> Chosen API 21 for both minimum and target.

Hm, manifest looks okay. At runtime your main activity is not found, which might mean some missing app template code perhaps (I'm not sure, I haven't seen this error before). But androiddeployqt provides a default template if one is missing in the app code. So, I don't know, sorry.

Well I will try with newer NDK version then.

But I have a question. I used android-21 here but i dont know should I use android-28 and choose both target and minimum to 21 again.

And which version should I select at "target sdk". I dont get the purpose of that.

sierdzio

If you are compiling for ARM64, you should definitely use target API 28.

A very general hint:

target API - always use newest
minimal API - check which oldest Android version is still quite popular (~10% market share) and choose the corresponding API

I dont get the purpose of that.

Read Android documentation, then.

KoneTaH

Always run gradlew lint (or gradlew.bat lint on Windows) command in the build directory after any Android-related changes and look into HTML report file produced by this tool. It warns about many potential issues and inconsistencies (manifest issues, API version mismatches, invalid and unused resources, localization issues, general programming errors in your Android-related Java code, obsolete dependencies, and so on, and so on). Very useful.

maydin

I updated NDK to latest but didn't work.

Then I changed SDK to 28 from 21, then It compiled. There should be a bug in lower version SDKs I guess.

RoachLin

delete all the folders named "build-xxxxxxx"
delete ".pro.user" file
delete "android" folder, but keep the "AndroidManifest.xml" file for further configration
delete "C:\Users\your usernamexxxxxxx\.gradle" folder, but zip it first for insurance
make sure installed the correct version of Qt, SDK, NDK
open the project and create template for android, don't choose copy the gradle, and then modify it by the "AndroidManifest.xml" file you keeped
make sure your network works well
start compiling and wait for the latest gradle downloading, it should work
