No android build step with Qt + Android + CMake in Qt Creator
-
Hello,
I'm able to create a project for android using QMake, it works fine. However, if I try to build using CMake, builds works but only the code. No android build step are generated.
I get the following error:
Cannot find the android build step. Error while building/deploying project untitled (kit: Android for x86 (GCC 4.9, Qt 5.10.1 (x86))) When executing step "Deploy to Android device"What should I do?

Hi,
Thanks for your helpI'm the author of this post ;)
Well in this topic my problem is that I tryed to debug the apk with QtCreator
As androidqtdeploy step has been handled in the cmake scripts QtCreator does not know that apk has already been deployed and try to do it without successSo now I compile and generate apk with dos scripts and cmake and all necessary things, and I debug the apk using Android Studio
It works well but I'm not able to debug QML code, so I use lots of console.log in the source code ! -

Hello,I use Android Studio for debug
I'm not able to debug QML code but for c++ part I can set breakpoints and see content of some variables
I use also lots of qDebug
It's not perfect but at least it works
I compile / generate the apk, and in Android studio I choose "profile or debug apk" and gives the path / file of my apk previously generated
