4. Android QWidget app displays "application encountered a fatal error" after starting emulator?

Android QWidget app displays "application encountered a fatal error" after starting emulator?


  • Android newbie here.

    I used Qt 5.3.1 to make a simple "Hello World" Qt widgets application containing a single button. It runs on Windows, OS X, and iOS simulators.

    When I debug application on my x86 Atom on an Nexus 7 Android Virtual Device emulator, the "Hello World" title bar appears. The main screen below remains black. One minute later the following popup displays. Closing popup results in title bar disappearing:

    "Your application encountered a fatal error and cannot continue"

    All troubleshooting tips are appreciated.

    The AVD runs a Java app from Eclipse ADT just fine:

    • AVD Target: Android 4.0.3 - API Level 15
    • AVD CPU/ABI: Intel Atom (x86)
    • AVD Memory: RAM: 2048, VM HEAP: 64
    • AVD SD Card: Size 32 MiB

    1 - Could it be a libQT*.so dependency issue? How does Qt Creator auto-magically deploy libQT*.so dependencies to the AVD?

    2 - How do you debug Qt on an Android AVD? Is there a log file someplace?

    Thanks in advance,

    -Ed

  • I figured out to make Eclipse show me Android->LogCat view.

    I see the following FATAL EXCEPTION appear in LogCat near the time the error appears:

    LogCat displays sleep and pong messages for about a minute:
    @

    07-18 09:53:16.819: I/Qt JAVA(1671): DEBUGGER: waiting for pong at /data/local/tmp/qt/debug-pong-org.qtproject.example.qt_android_hello, attempt 147

    @
    Then after a minute the following exception appears in LogCat and fatal error message display in Android emulator:

  • Does Qt 5.3.1 widget apps work with Android? Should roll-back to Qt 5.2.1?

    The messages following the exception refer to QtActivity. Is that a useful clue or just means it crashed shortly after starting?
