Android service

[Montjet]

Hi,
I am trying to implement android service.
This service should start at boot time what is descripted on: https://www.kdab.com/qt-android-create-android-service-using-qt/
My application is crashing and I don't know why.
What's wrong with my code?

Qt: 5.11.1

Example.pro:

TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS += Application.pro Service.pro

Service.pro:

TEMPLATE = lib
TARGET = Service
CONFIG += dll
QT += core
QT += remoteobjects
QT += androidextras


SOURCES += \
    sources/Service.cpp

REPC_SOURCE += \
    replicas/ServiceMessenger.rep

Application.pro:

QT += quick 
QT += remoteobjects
QT += androidextras
CONFIG += c++17

# The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use
# any feature of Qt which as been marked deprecated (the exact warnings
# depend on your compiler). Please consult the documentation of the
# deprecated API in order to know how to port your code away from it.
DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS

# You can also make your code fail to compile if you use deprecated APIs.
# In order to do so, uncomment the following line.
# You can also select to disable deprecated APIs only up to a certain version of Qt.
#DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000    # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0

SOURCES += \
    sources/Application.cpp

REPC_REPLICA += \
    replicas/ServiceMessenger.rep

Help :(

Hi,

I haven't work with QtRemoteObjects yet but some things you should do:

• Check the return value of connectToNode
• Connect the error signal to at least print something if it's called
• Check lastError if the connection failed
