How to install my app android on a Tablet

le_fonceur

Hello everybody,

I'm using Qt, i finished to build my first app and after i made a test by running it with the emulator, it's okey.
But now, i don't know how to install it on a tablet. Can you help me please ?

Thank you.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Setup your tablet to allow developer mode

Connect your tablet to your computer

Select it when you're asked to do so before running your application

Enjoy

Thank you SGaist, i'm trying to do all that you said. In the settings's pannel of the tablet, i don't see developer mode in order to enable it.

After you have deployed the app on the emulator or on a real device using developer mode, you can also install it on other devices by using the
QtApp-debug.apk installer file
you will find in YOUR_BUILD_FOLDER/android-build/bin
(of course only on devices that are configured to allow sideloading).

At least up to Qt 5.3.1 the name is always QtApp-debug.apk but the manifest inside it contains the actual name of the app and you can rename the .apk so they are the same.

A toi aussi SGaist, merci. Le lien que tu m'avais donner est nouveau pour moi et je vais apprendre beaucoup. Je vais me lancer a fond.

Hello L.MCH,

It's okey now, thank you so much. I instaled it in the tablet. I'm going to create a resource folder and put an image.
To you also, SGaist, thank you so much. The links that you share with me helped me.

The solution is :
Setup the tablet to allow developer mode

connect the Tablet with USB cable to the computer
I copied the QtApp-debug.apk file from my computer installer file that we can find in YOUR_BUILD_FOLDER/android-build/bin
Choose the QtApp-debug.apk in the tablet and install the app by clicking on it
restart the computer or not
Each time you modify your app in the computer you save it, when you run it, it will run directly in you tablet.

Good luck to everyone
