Hi, Qt port for Android was developed by the great and efforts of Bogdan, Eskil and many others where I mem it was Qt-5.2 and 5.3 where it has started to be usable and Qt-apps were developed.
It was steadily improving by Qt-5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 with many new features, options and native elements added. Unfortunately, my widget apps have been broken by the good intentions feature: Selection Handles - which appeared first in Qt-5.8, and it is still broken in the LTS intended Qt-5.9. Unlike most other features, it comes not on demand, but as a part of any text area, and breaks the existing Qt-apps. Needless to say that expectation of any developer could be an option to exclude such an intrusive feature. However, this is not the case - there's no any API to get rid from it. Android Text Editing Widgets are totally broken: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-62426 and Selection Handles with QML have many issues opened with many workarounds proposed, like: https://appbus.wordpress.com/2017/03/25/text-selection-handles-qt-5-8/ and issues: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-58700 and some more. Rock&Roll is dead, but we and QWidgets are not, not yet. Android apps are coming to Chromebook Desktop and look there superior when based on QWidgets. With other people joining me as seen in the tickets above, I'd like to ask the maintainers to consider giving priority to: 1. Option to exclude Selection Handles from the appearance; 2. Fixing the issues with Selection Handles; 3. Optional, making an option to customize their appearance. Thank you in advance! Kind regards, Robert
