=OpenHarmony Introduction=
=Code management for OH=
OpenHarmony is an open-source project incubated and operated by the OpenAtom Foundation, with the goal of building a framework and platform for intelligent terminal device operating systems. It aims to cater to the era of full-scenario, full-connectivity, and full-intelligence, and promote the prosperous development of the Internet of Everything industry.

=HUAWEI DevEco Studio Installation=
If you want to develop Qt for OpenHarmony applications, apart from using Qt Creator, you also need to rely on DevEco Studio.
 
https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/cn/deveco-studio/
 
In general, there is no need to configure the sdk version used by DevEco Studio because DevEco Studio comes with one sdk by default.
 
However, if the included sdk does not meet your needs, you can set the sdk version you want to use by using the following method:
 
For OpenHarmony 5, you want to install API Version 12 SDK:

= Building Qt Application for OpenHarmony in Windows =
 
The following parts of the instruction, that you have installed DevEco studio, OpenHarmony toolchains,already have the device of OpenHarmonyOS.
 
Be aware that Qt5 build + multiple options, currently Arch is arm64-v8a.
 
=== Preparing Qt Creator as a Qt IDE ===
Download Qt Creator,create a kit for OpenHarmony manually
 
=== Creating development kit for OpenHarmony in Qt Creator ===
Go to Edit →Preferences→Kits
 
=== Configuring Qt Version ===
Go to Qt Version tab. Click the button Add…
[[File:Add kits.png|none|thumb|927x927px]]
Go to the folder in which Qt 5.12.12 for OHOS was installed (it should be installed in a path specified with PREFIX), then go to the bin folder, and select the qmake application and click Open. For example, I compiled the Qt source code with PREFIX=C:\Qt\qt-5.12.12-ohos, so qmake will be in C:\Qt\qt-5.12.12-ohos\bin\qmake.
Set Name to Qt %{Qt:Version} for OHOS.
At this point, there should be information, that there are no compilers that can produce code for this Qt version.
[[File:Add qt version.png|none|thumb|986x986px]]
 
=== Configuring Compilers ===
Go to the Compilers tab. Click on the button Add, then select Custom→C
 
Set Name to OHOS Clang.
 
Assuming you have followed the instruction to build Qt 5.12.12 for OHOS from sources, you should have llvm-mingw already installed. If not, please follow the MinGW toolchain installation step[[Qt for OpenHarmony#Preparing the Build Environment]]
 
Set the Make path to mingw32-make.exe executable shipped with your MinGW toolchain. It should be located in <path-to-MinGW-toolchain>\bin\mingw32-make.exe. Do not forget to substitute <path-to-MinGW-toolchain>with the actual path.
 
Change the ABI to '''arm - linux - generic - elf - 64bit'''
[[File:Add clang c.png|none|thumb|993x993px]]
Follow the above steps for the c++ compiler. However, this time, make sure to set Name to OHOS Clang++ and in Compiler path select the clang++.exe instead.
[[File:Add clang c++.png|none|thumb|994x994px]]
 
=== Configuring Kits ===
Go to Qt kits tab. Click the button Add…
 
Set Name to OHOS Clang
 
Set Sysroot to D:\oh\DevEcoStudio\sdk\HarmonyOS-NEXT-DB6\openharmony\native\sysroot. In Compiler section, select previously configured compilers for C(OHOS Clang) and C++(OHOS Clang++).
 
In Qt version select previously configured Qt 5.12.12 for OHOS.
 
Set Qt mkspec to ohos-clang.
 
The complete Kit should look like this:
 
[[File:Add ohos clang.png|frameless|991x991px]]
 
=== Setting required environment variables in Qt Creator ===
Go to Edit→Preferences→Environment→System and click the Change…button in Environment section.
 
Add a new environment variable by adding a line NATIVE_OHOS_SDK=D:\oh\DevEcoStudio\sdk\HarmonyOS-NEXT-DB6\openharmony\native
[[File:Add environment.png|none|thumb|981x981px]]
 
=== Obtaining a template DevEco project ===
Contact us to obtain a template DevEco project for building final OpenHarmony Qt applications. This will be used to run the Qt application on the OpenHarmony device.
 
Put the template DevEco project into a known location. Let’s call it <deveco-project>
 
Go to folder<deveco-project>\entry and create a folder<deveco-project>\entry\libs\arm64-v8a
 
=== Compiling a simple Qt project ===
To simplify this instruction, we will not create an application from scratch, instead we will use an existing example from widget.
 
Go to your Documents folder and create a new folder called qt_creator_projects. Then go to<qt5-root>\examples\widgets\widgets folder in explorer and copy the whole calculator folder into the qt_creator_projects folder
 
Then, in QtCreator, click on '''File'''→'''Open File''' or Project, then go to the qt_creator_projects\calculator and select the calculator.profile.
 
In Configure Project tab select the '''OHOS Clang kit''' and click the '''Configure Project''' button.
 
Trigger the compilation by clicking on '''Build'''→'''Build Project “calculator”''', or use shortcut: Ctrl+B. The project should compile without errors.
 
You should be able to find the compiled '''libcalculator.so''' file inside the Documents\qt_creators_projects\build-calculator-OHOS_Clang-Debug folder.
 
=Run the Qt for OpenHamony application to the hardware=
 
=== Building the final OHOS application ===
Copy the libcalculator.so file from the previous step into your<deveco-project>\entry\libs\arm64-v8a folder
 
Then copy the needed library from <qt-install-path>\lib\ to <deveco-project>\entry\lib\arm64-v8a\
 
For example, for libQt5Widgets.so library it will be (Powershell):<syntaxhighlight lang="bat">
Copy-Item "<qt-install-path>\lib\libQt5Widgets.so" -Destination "<deveco-project>\entry\libs\arm64-v8a\"
</syntaxhighlight>Similarly, you can find all dependencies of the OHOS qpa plugin, to make sure, you have all necessary libraries.
 
=== Modifying the starting point in ets part ===
Once all libraries are copied, we can modify the eTS source code,
 
Open the <deveco-project> in DevEco:
[[File:Open template app.png|none|thumb|668x668px]]
 
Open file <deveco-project>\entry\src\main\ets\common\QtAppConstants.ets. Change the APP_LIBRARY_NAME variable to the name of our library( libcalculator.so ):
[[File:Modify the APP name in ets file.png|thumb|none]]
 
=== Build and run the application ===
Make sure the device is connected. Once it is connected, it should be visible in DevEco Studio
[[File:Device .png|none|thumb|901x901px]]
Then adding the signing configs,open '''file--project structure--signing configs''',check all the items,and click the OK.
[[File:Tempsnip.png|none|thumb|900x900px]]
 
Once the device is selected in DevEco Studio,you can build and run the application directly:
[[File:Run APP successfully.png|thumb|514x514px|none]]
 
After '''BUILD SUCCESSFUL,''' you can see the  the application is running on the target device.
