QT & QML Compass

[BTSTOnline]

I have been trying to include an AR view in my application for iOS and Android. When using at QT or QML compass component, I get very good readings from an iOS device. However, on Android, I get readings that appear to be updating at about 100hz, and/or I get negative readings.

Anyone using Compass on Android? If so, how do you have it working?

@BTSTOnline
what Qt version are you using?
also see this: https://www.kdab.com/qt-sensors-just-got-better-on-android/

[BTSTOnline]

QT Creator 4.9.1
- Qt 5.12.3 (Clang 10.0 (Apple), 64 bit)

@BTSTOnline
that is the Qt version QtCreator was built with, not the Qt kit you are using in your application.

Apologies, @raven-worx. I'm a bit confused about what info you exactly want. Does this help?

@BTSTOnline
yes thats the info i requested.
But anyway you should try with Qt 5.14 since the QtSensors backend was rewritten as in the link stated i've posted

Will do. Looks like the Beta1 won't be released until mid-September.
Thanks for the info.

@BTSTOnline
yes, you would have to build Qt for android yourself from the sources if you want to test it now
