Qt is native on Android/Ios/Windows Phone?
-
Hi!
I've been searching for a tool that lets me build mobile multiplatform apps, I found Xamarin, AppCelerator, Cordova/phonegap, and surprisingly Qt. I've tested some little QML examples in my Android Tablet and they work very fine, but my question is: When I develop a QML app (that can run on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android...) and I build it in a specific platform, it generates native code for that platform?
For example, Cordova creates web application, so, the application is not native, but a web app..
Qt creates native code or creates a "container" (like cordova) and it display the app inside it?
Sorry for my poor english

Hi,
No, no container here. Qt uses plugins to talk to the underlying platform. Each has it's own specificity like e.g. Objective C/C++ for iOS or Java for android. But for you basically it doesn't change anything, you write code either in C++ and/or QML (unless you need some platform specific stuff in which case you'll do write e.g. a bit of Objective C/C++ for iOS). You don't have to worry about the underlying stuff.
Hope it helps
