Porting desktop QWidgets application to Android

[Vadi2]

Reading http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android-support.html, it seems like it is possible to port a desktop QWidgets application to Android. Is this really true? Finding it a little hard to believe. Are there any desktop QWidget-based applications I could have a look at?

Hi!

Is this really true?

Yes.

Finding it a little hard to believe.

Why? :-)

Are there any desktop QWidget-based applications I could have a look at?

Yes. E.g., see: Qt Widgets Examples.

Awesome, thanks. If anyone has any real-world desktop QWidget-based applications they've ported to Android, would love to hear feedback and see the result.

[Vadi2]

Has anyone done this at all?

I've done some more research and was advised that porting a desktopnQWidgets-based app to Android is not something you want to do just yet. Failing to find any examples of anyone successfully doing so strengthens those suspicions.

Of course people have done it. I have done it. There's nothing special or problematic in it. Just do it.

Show proof?
