Develop for android java issues

[J.Hilk]

@Phips04 do it by hand than, open the android manifest.xml in a text editor
and change the version there

[Phips04]

The .xml can be evaluated and I set the entries. Min sdk is 21 (android 5) and target is 27 (android 8.1). The error still is the same

It worked this way, the bundle is installed now, but I still can't change the minimal android version

What do you mean with "you can't"? Is the dropdown combobox grayed out or is the list empty?
Do you have restart Qt Creator after updating SDK root?

[Phips04]

Yes the combobox was grayed (I set the entries in the xml file via text editor, now I can edit the boxes) and I restarted Qt creator.

@Phips04 I know how have written "Java settings are ok", but which JDK version are you using?

AFAIK, gradle do NOT work with JDK > 11, and recommended version is still JDK 8.

[Phips04]

I meant qt Creator says Java settings are ok.
I didn't remember that version 8 is the recommended one, installed 15.
I will replace it by 8 now

Yes, it is no clearly defined ==> https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android-building.html.
JDK 8, still recommended for best compatibility, but starting with Qt 5.15 JDK 11 could be used.

Side note: if you search on internet java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7, all matches you will found will clearly detail the issue. The gradle version is not compatible with the selected JDK.
For Qt 5.15, the used gradle version is 5.6.4 (just check in <QT_DIR>/5.15.0/android/src/3rdparty/gradle/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties)

Ok, now finally it works. This is my very basic UI for testing

This is the sourcecode:

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15

Window {
Rectangle {
id: rectangle
color: "#09a4cc"
anchors.fill: parent

    Rectangle {
        id: rectangle1
        x: 220
        y: 117
        width: 200
        height: 200
        color: "#4facfe"
        radius: height / 2
        gradient: Gradient {
            GradientStop {
                position: 0
                color: "#4facfe"
            }

            GradientStop {
                position: 1
                color: "#00f2fe"
            }
        }
    }
}

}

What it shows is simply a white screen.🙄

@Phips04 I think you have to set property visible to true of top Window:

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Window 2.15

Window {
    visible: true // ==> default value is false!
    Rectangle {
        id: rectangle
        color: "#09a4cc"
        anchors.fill: parent
      ...
   }
}

[Phips04]

Ok, QT creator does not recongnize the property, but it compiles, and now it works the way it should,
thanks for your help👍

@Phips04 Your welcome
