Kits selection for android development
-
Hi,
I am developing an application for android device. When I create a new project "Kit Selection" menu has come. I am confused which to add. And which kit I should use to build my application.
Can you explain what are the kits below:
Android for armeabi (GCC 4.8, Qt 5.2.1)
Android for armeabi-v7a (GCC 4.8, Qt 5.2.1)
Android for x86 (GCC 4.8, Qt 5.2.1)
Desktop-Qt 5.2.1 for Android x86

This will compile your code for the old ARM architecture, so you will get a binary that is compatible even with the oldest devices
This will compile your code using the newer ARM architecture, more performant and in general better ;)
This will compile for x86 android (for devices using x86 chips)
That entry is strange and does not look auto-generated. Hard to say what it does without seeing Kit setup detail

Hi,
If memory serves correctly:
- Android for arm slower but support a wider range of processors
- Android for arm with hardware floating point operation / newer cpu stuff support
- Android for x86 processor e.g. intel/amd
- Standard Qt for desktop coming with the Android installer
Hope it helps
