Skin : HVGA Press the button Create AVD and the name you choose appears in the list.
Android Qt Creator settings
You only have to set the path to ant.bat. The other fields are filled in automatically. You can see your AVD target you made earlier.
Compiling
Debug version
In Qt Creator select the build …Arm v 5 Debug and start using the green arrow bug button "Start debugging" or F5. This will make the libYOURPROGRAMNAME.so which you will need later for the next step. It is possible that Qt Creator cannot get through, but that's no problem. The most important is you have the .so file.
Build version
The next step is to choose for build …Arm v 5 Release.
On Tab Manifest
choose for Android 10
On Tab Permissions
android.permission.INTERNET android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
On Tab Libraries
Click the button "Read information from application (must be compiled)" This will read the necessary libraries like libqtCore.so. You don't have to click the libraries, even if the checkboxes are not checked it will work…
Check the option : "Install Ministro system wide qt shared libraries installer" and click the button "Choose apk" to point to the Ministro-2.0.apk file you installed earlier.
Click Run or CTRL + R Then you see your app icon, it launches and wants to download files (only the first time). Your app will start automatically now.
Have fun!
