Android first Activity

[romsharkov]

Hi,

I've noticed a slight visual inconvenience when deploying a Qt app on an android device. What I am complain about is the first Android activity popping up when starting the app. IMHO it's simply hideous and slightly damages the overall user experience right away.

I've recorded it on my Samsung S6 running Android 6.0.1 and uploaded it to YouTube for you.

BTW here is the frame extracted from the Video showing the unwanted effect I'm talking about.

For me the solution would be to have a color filled blank screen at startup, or even at least a white/black blank screen, though I have no idea how to achieve that. I know Android's offering different kind of activities and I know there are blank activities, I just don't get how to make Qt start the App in such an activity.

May anybody help?

So there's really no one being able to answer this?
Is there any way to make the Qt developer team pay a little attention on this cosmetic issue?

Hi,

That's something you can bring to the Android development mailing list. You'll find there Qt's developers/maintainers. This forum is more user oriented.

@romsharkov You may use a custom theme to turn off the ActionBar.

Example:

quickandroid/apptheme.xml at master · benlau/quickandroid

quickandroid/AndroidManifest.xml at master · benlau/quickandroid
