QT or Andriod for embedded app

[JagSingh]

Hi All,

I'm looking to build a prototype on a raspberry pi and happen to come across qt when searching on how to build embedded apps.

I wanted to know if qt can be used to build an app like the one in Mirror fit https://www.mirror.co/ which will run directly on the device.

Or

would it be easier to run Android OS on the device and then build an app that can access the hardware?

I would really appreciate any guidance please.

Regards,
Jag

I think it will be easier with Qt.

I depends, do you have C++ knowledge?
If you don't know anything about C++, using Qt can be difficult.

If you are confident with Android/Java, go with Android, there are many Android images available for RPi.
A quick search on internet gives me this link => https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-android-raspberry-pi/

By the way, you could also create an Android App with Qt ;)
