STILL unable to deploy/run on Android

[J.Hilk]

What version of Qt/ Qt6 are you using, QtActivity was deprecated and is no longer accessible in the later versions

[mzimmers]

@J-Hilk 6.5.3. If it will simplify this exercise, I can update.

[J.Hilk]

@mzimmers you should potentially downgrade :D

anyway, just create a new empty project -> apply android kit -> click create android templates -> build and run

that should work.

[mzimmers]

@J-Hilk same error. (I didn't create a new project; instead I re-used the accelbubble example, but I deleted the Android build directory as well as the android directory in the project.) When I create the templates, I do get this error:

And, I'm not changing anything in AndroidManifest.xml, partly because I'd been told this editor was broken (though it may be fixed in Creator 14), and partly because I really don't understand what is supposed to go in here.

@mzimmers said in STILL unable to deploy/run on Android:

I'm not changing anything in AndroidManifest.xml,

and thats exactly the problem, org.qtproject.qt.android.bindings.QtActivity is referenced in the AndroidManifest, part of the <activity> tag

There's a reason why I suggested a clean new empty project .

[mzimmers]

Just tried a new project (used the accelbubble example again). When I create the templates, it inserts the problematic QML line:

        <activity android:name="org.qtproject.qt.android.bindings.QtActivity" android:configChanges="orientation|uiMode|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|layoutDirection|locale|fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation|mcc|mnc|density" android:label="-- %%INSERT_APP_NAME%% --" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:screenOrientation="unspecified" android:exported="true">

So, I'm back to the same problem.

I suppose it's too much to hope that I could just delete this line from the XML file...EDIT, yes, that line is necessary.

my non native speaking brain finds this contradictory ^^
Maybe I'm confusing things as well, your accelbubble link seems more like a guide on how to setup a new empty project instead of one of the pre made examples you get from QtCreator!

Anyway, what version of creator are you using ? IIRC the androidmanifest template is part of QtC and not necessarily of the QtLibrary used.

[mzimmers]

I’m using the project wizard to create the project but using the crake, Qml and svg files from the example. Is this not what you wanted me to do?

Using Creator 14 .0.2.

[J.Hilk]

@mzimmers sounds about right.

And I have to apologise, I just created an android project with 14.0.2 and 6.8

The AndroidManifestFile still has the QtActivity reference. But it does compile fine for me despite that!

the android settings I'm using:

[mzimmers]

It compiles for me, too, but it doesn’t run.
