How I built QT 5.11.1 for Android on Windows

Posted by | Android, QT, Windows |

I tried to build QT 5.11.1 for Android on Windows, and “configure.bat” completed successfully, but “mingw32-make” failed with with the following error:

No rule to make target 'vulkan/qvulkanfunctions_p.h', needed by '.obj\qvulkaninstance.obj'.

It is the bug fixed in QT 5.11.2 that is planned on August/September 2018.

When I build the master branch and copied the following files from it to \qtbase\src\gui\vulkan manually:

qvulkanfunctions.h
qvulkanfunctions_p.cpp
qvulkanfunctions_p.h

and started “mingw32-make” again I got another error:

Setting up QT Creator 4.6.1 for Android development on Windows 10

Posted by | Android, QT, Windows |

First I installed Android Studio. When it started I set an option to create the application with Native C++ support and Android NDK was automatically installed to C:\Users\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk-bundle, also I added Android-19 API level and somehow CMake was installed to C:\Users\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\cmake\3.6.4111459.

Building QT 5.10.1 from sources with VS2017

Posted by | QT, Windows |

I am not sure it is a correct way, but I was able to do this:

git clone --recursive https://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git --branch v5.10.1

and all the submodules were checked out with commit hashes tag v5.10.1 points to:

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
...
Submodule path 'qt3d': checked out '31f424bb81cd2583920d3d521e1e01f01c2d28e2'

Installing Google Play Services on a Windows 10 with MS VS2015

Posted by | Android, QT, Windows |

If Android support is enabled in MS VS2015, it installs Android SDK without Google Play Services and I did not find an option in SDK Manager that installs them. When I started “C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\SDK Manager.exe” with admin privileges, it automatically offered to install some 9 packages:

Qt Quick Controls 2 does not support TableView

Posted by | QML, QT |

Qt Quick Controls 2 does not support TableView and looks like they are not going to support it, some notable missing features from Qt Quick Controls 1 also are Action, SplitView and TreeView, so the following QML code would not work:

TableView {

    TableViewColumn {
        role: "time"
        title: qsTr("date/time:")
        width: parent.width - 30
    }

    TableViewColumn {
        role: "score"
        title: qsTr("result:")
        width: 30
    }

    model: boardModel.list

    ScrollIndicator.vertical: ScrollIndicator { }
}

But there is a solution with ListView, so there can be something like this:

QML DropShadow is an interesting effect that acts in a very simple way. It works fine in my application and produces the following result:

QML DropShadow is very slow

The only disadvantage of DropShadow effect is that is slows down my application from 60 FPS to 30 FPS on Android Phone. The following code demonstrates how I use it with StackView:

How to compile QT with VS2015 and GCC

Posted by | C++, QT, Win32 | Tagged |

Below I provided a simple step by step instruction on how to compile QT 5.7 with VS2015 assuming you already have VS2015 and Git client installed on your Windows machine.

Install Perl, Python and Ruby.

To get QT 5.7 sources open Git Bash and run the following command (the repository has some submodules, so “recursive” option is required), see the list of possible clone here at the bottom of the page:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/qtproject/qt5.git --branch 5.7

Create a bat file called configureqt.bat with the following content:

set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files (x86)\Portable\ruby-2.3.0-i386-mingw32\bin";C:\Perl\bin;C:\Python27
D:
cd D:\Repos\qt5\
set _ROOT=D:\Repos\qt5
set PATH=%_ROOT%\qtbase\bin;%_ROOT%\gnuwin32\bin;%PATH%
set QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2015
set _ROOT=
configure -debug -nomake examples -opensource
