    I'm a bit confused regarding necessitas downloads after QtSDK 5.1 is out.
    Can I just use the official QtSDK release to build applications for Android? Or I still need to use the Necessitas project?

      In short: Necessitas is the name of the port for Qt4. Qt5 port is integrated into the repository and should be standalone. AFAIK only Ministro app is shared between both projects (as is most of the source code and dev power, of course, but that is not important on the "outside").

          Hope that Qt5.1 will release with a good document which show the developers how to deploy android apps by Qt.In my humble opinion, a good document and examples like that are crucial for the adoption of Qt on android.

            Documentation is already quite comprehensive, IMHO. See "Getting Started" at http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-stable/qtdoc/android-support.html -- it lists everything you need to download, and steps you need to take.

              Thanks, do these steps same on windows?As far as I know, Qt5.1 beta only support linux, and I am waiting for Qt5.1 which support windows.

                Digia is working on an Android package for Windows, but it's not working properly yet. You can find a partially-working package at http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/28191 (see seahumad's post on 27 May).

                Your try it out, and send bug reports to help Digia polish the Windows package sooner :)

                  Qt 5.1 RC should bring also the first iteration of windows host support for Android, so please wait for a few more days :)

                      What I have noticed so far about necessitas for qt5 is that its useless. The libraries seem to be outdated or whatever. Most of the app wont work correctly with them. So you should deploy your apps with all the libraries you need. Unfortunately that bloats them up as you know.

                      edit: replace necessitas with ministro

                        To expand on what sierdzio already wrote: Necessitas has been "absorbed into Qt 5":http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2012/11/08/necessitas-android-port-contributed-to-the-qt-project/, and then developed further. The technology that used to be called "Necessitas" is now called "Qt for Android". So, if you download "Necessitas", you're downloading old Qt 4 tech.

                          Excuse me I was talking about ministro, not necessitas
                          Ministro seems to be loading wrong/old libs. Of course my post does not fit into here anymore :P
