Just doing my first AndroidForWork Qt App for one of my customers. (QtQuickControls2) Will blog about the details later.
With AndroidForWork (AfW) your Android device is managed by IT and there are private apps and work apps. I managed to deploy app to Android Device from QtC. Sideloading Apps to AfW devices the app will be installed as private and work app. https://developer.android.com/work/managed-profiles.html#testing_apps QtC does this well. But then QtC runs the private App. This is because QtC uses the default User. With AfW there are 2 users. You can list them: |adb shell pm list users | private user has always ID 0 and Work User will have another ID - I always have seen ID 10. I can run the Work App I deployed using QtC from this command: |adb shell am start --user 10 -n my.package.name/org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity | So my question: HowTo tell QtC to use an extra argument *'--user 10'* while starting the APK ? As a mobile business app developer I don't have so much knowledge about QtC Android BuildProcess. >From QtC developer list I got a hint to use a custom Run Configuration. So I entered: Executable: adb Arguments: shell am start --user 10 -n my.package.name/org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity <http://my.package.name/org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity> WorkingDir: %{buildDir} Tried with or without checking the 'Run in terminal box' but getting an error: |Cannot find the androiddeploy Json file. Error while building/deploying project my_project (kit: Android for armeabi-v7a (GCC 4.9, Qt 5.7.0)) When executing step "Deploy to Android device" | curious: I did no changes to deployment. it's still saying 'Deploy to Android Device' would be cool to manage AndroidForWork completely from inside QtC. BTW: I'm on OSX and Device is connected via USB At the moment my workflow is something like this: * deploy and run from QtC (deploys private and work app and runs private app) * exit the private app on Android Device * run work app from my Mac (adb start --user10 - see above- * Terminal: adb start-server * Run OSX App LogRabbit (http://lograbbit.com/ ) to monitor the Android LogCat output Of course would be much easier to run the work app from QtC and to watch logs from ApplicationOutput Pane in QtC Perhaps I should create an Issue to place a AndroidUserId variable into .pro and the Android Build process can add --user nn to the adb start cmd ? thx for any help also asked at Android list and in forum -- ekke (ekkehard gentz)
