Hi,
The thing I know is not yet supported on android are webviews.
Most of sensors are supported. If something is missing you can use java subroutines in qt.To create a service, i my optinion, the best thing to do is to create a service in Java then call qt functions.
Have a look to "this link...":http://www.gnuton.org/blog/2014/01/invoking-qtc-code-from-the-java-side-of-qt-for-android-application/. It talks about services.Regards

Well missing the webview component is the major problem and I must say in some cases deal breaker. Tomme mentioned that you can use java subroutines in qt that is correct but that doesn't quite cover the lack of native webview. You can create an overlay android activity that shows android native webview and is just fine when you're trying to create Gmail web based authorization etc. But in case you need to show i.e embeded google maps in your app w/o covering everything else you're pretty much screwed at this point. Well at least I'm at the moment and I haven't got any help from community that probably just mean that there's no way out. :(

thanks #Tomme and #DonRico for your help. I will use java subroutine to call android service.
