unknown modules serialport android 5.12
-
Hello.
I have an application that uses QtSerialPort module. It was working on framework version 5.11.3 but, with 5.12, QtSerialPort is not present (checked both framework folders and on folder /opt/Qt/5.11.3/android_armv7/include there is a folder QtSerialPort and on folder /opt/Qt/5.12.0/android_armv7/include/ no QtSerialPort folder found).
Why was it removed from 5.12?
Will it be available again in 5.12.1?
How can I make it work again with 5.12?
Thank you for your time.

hi @behopibraun and welcome,
To be honest, I'm surprised it was included in 5.11 in the first place.
Officially the Qt Serial Port model is not supported for android and iOS:
This is something you should rather take to the mailing list
https://lists.qt-project.orgthat's where you'll find people actively working on the framework, this is a more of a user orientated forum
or the bugreport-dashboard, that's not only for bug reports but also for feature requests.

@aha_1980 Thank you.
Can I compile this specific module and include it to my project? If yes, how? I'm using linux.

Hi,
If you really want to do that, then revert what that patch did. However, as already noted, it is mandatory to have a rooted device for the serial port to work.
