No longer able to compile QML application for Android

[Celal]

Hello,

I am using Qt 5.8 and Qt Creator 4.2 and I am not able to run QML application on Android device on both windows 7 and Ubuntu 16.04.
I read on the internet that new Android API break a lot of things. Does Qt solve this problem yet?

I could not find the previous working version of Android SDK. So I am not to able compile. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

@Celal What does not work?

Qt Creator is not able to generate the .apk and installs on Android device.

Here is the my Qt Creator setting

Here is the output when I try to run QML application.

I also have a problem when creating a simulation device, it does not allow me to so. Here is the screen shot for that

In this dialog, I am not able to set Target API.

@Celal said in No longer able to compile QML application for Android:

sh: 1: ant: not found

There's your problem. It's trying to use ant to build and can't find it on your system. Has nothing to do with Qt at all. Install ant using your distribution's package manager and you should be good to go.

I fixed the ant and still have the problem with creating the android packages. This is happening when I use Qt 5.8.

Anyway, the good news is I am able to compile and create android package with Qt 5.9, I am using grandle instead of ant and everything working great.

So, I am still not able to create a virtual device but I can deploy the application on my android device.

I will close this problem since I have no idea what is the problem.

Thank you so much for your time.

@Celal Glad you got it working. That is weird. It could be a 5.8 bug but I know others have deployed with 5.8 just fine.

Maybe something with your configuration. Either way it sounds like you figured it out so no worries. I hate not knowing why something broke though. :)

@ambershark

Thank you. I feel you, I hate it too. But you know I, know something wrong with 5.8 configurations. Because I have tried many different kinds of things so somehow I messed up the conf. Anyway, my plan is to try same things on fresh install Linux machine and see if I am still not able to compile with 5.8.

These days, I do not have time to do so. When I try it I will post here, hopefully, I will not forget.
