Hello everybody, My name is BogDan Vatra, I'm the guy behind Necessitas project (Qt port on android), before I go further I want to express my gratitude for all of you who worked, working and will work for Qt !
Lighthouse project made my life a heaven, without it this port would be very very difficult to do it, but I've found a few missing pieces which prevents us to create a fully featured port for Android. I'll list the most important ones which need a little more time to investigate and implement. - Menus, on android the menu bar is completely different from other platforms , it is always hidden, and to make it visible the user must press the menu button. Currently there is no way to do it, because QMenuBar is a widget and even more is part of your application window. - QMake build system. Android supports more than one platform bundled into your application package (currently they are three platforms), android build system compiles this platforms at once, sadly qmake build system doesn't support this feature. QMake is ok for most of the platforms out there but for Android it needs more love. Somebody blogged about a new build system [1], and I must confess that I was very impressed by the approach, but sadly, two years latter, nothing happened ... This is a very important feature for this port, without it we can never say we have a *complete* port for Android. That's all folks, Merry XMAS everyone! >From Romania with love, BogDan Vatra [1] http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2009/10/12/to-make-or-not-to-make-qmake-and-beyond/ _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
