QTcpSocket windows vs android[SOLVED]

[puksec]

Hi,

I am aware of Qt-s way of dealing with sockets and threads, but I have managed to create app where I am using sockets in threads other than main thread. It works great on windows (no warnings, errors...).

BUT, when I build from same source for android (arm7) I get "Parent is QTcpSocket(0x5a356720), parent's thread is QThread(0x5a358d78), current thread is QThread(0x5d17f378)" error.

I know what error is saying, I am just wondering if anyone knows why I get this only on android and not on windows?
Thanks.

Hi,

Because they do not share the same architecture, i.e. android is a linux based system.

Anyway, you can use socket from another thread, you need to construct it the correct way e.g. following the threaded fortune server example.

Thanks for the reply SGaist. I was desperately trying to avoid signals and slots in communication protocols, but I guess there's a first time for everything :).
