Qt Android client for Postresql

mbnoimi

Hi,

I've Qt client works fine under Linux & Windows desktops but when I deployed it under Android it didn't work!

I wonder is there Qt plugin for Postgresql under Android?

mbnoimi

I read ton of posts and articles about my issue and I found that the best way is building web service for it because no one could build Qt SQL plugin for Android.

This is really horrible news for me because:

I don't know which is the start point to write the web service app. for my Postgresql database. Does Fortune Server is the right start point?

I already coded a big Qt client so converting it to client compatible with web service means more code and I afraid it may a big :(

May you please help me to find the right start point for developing the web service? and what's your advice for decreasing the modification in the client.?

P.S. I feel very upset because when I created the desktop client I thought Qt is ready for Android I never expected that.

Hi,

This is not a Qt problem per se. The plugin needs a native build of PostgreSQL's library for android, which AFAIK doesn't exist.

However I've seen "this":http://code.google.com/p/psqldroid that might interest you.

hello. a newbie here so pardon me foor noob question but can you please tell me if i can use these pre-built libraries to my project or i'll have to build myself? next problem is that i don't know how to add these .so libraries to my project. I tried to add this line in .pro file but that didn't work. the apk doesn't include this lib in the "lib" folder when seen using winRaR
@LIBS += -L "e:\sqlib" -libpq.so@

"LIBS +=" is to link to libraries. If you want to include ".so" files in your apk you need to use the following line

@ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS=/path/to/libpq.so@

thanks. now that the .so files are included, the application exits with the error "your application encountered a fatal error and cannot continue" upon launching :( not sure what to do with it and as i said i'm a noob to to figure it out :P

The problem is this that it cannot locate 'sigemptyset'...

isgemptyset should be in libc.so but is missing in the older android builds.

The workaround that works for me was to staticlally link libc. I uploaded the changes and the lib is now 10x larger at 2MB. I'll update the wiki and include instructions to statically link.

with the new lib file the app crashes without showing any message. and application output is:

EDIT: The app seems to be working on my phone. However I don't know whether it should work the same way as described in Qt documentation or not. The code given under doesn't seem to be making database connection (hence else part is executed) :
@
QSqlDatabase db= QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QPSQL");

    db.setHostName("89.129.198.19");
    db.setDatabaseName("abcde");
    db.setUserName("activa");
    db.setPassword("X123xyz");
    db.setPort(5432);

    bool ok = db.open();

    if(!ok)

The first so file I uploaded was only tested against lollipop. The second one was also tested against KitKat. I'll look into it. My brother has a Jellybean phone.

Edit:

I uploaded libpq.so now compiled with android-9.
