[gentoo-user] android development with Qt in a Gentoo box

Hi,

I am new to android development. I know a bit of C++ and Qt, but almost
nothing about Java.

Which would be the needed packages, besides the ones listed on
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Android

Any hints, please?

Thanks!
Francisco

I think `emerge android-studio` should pull in whatever you need.

On my system it certainly seems to want virtual/jdk, which is fulfilled by dev-java/icedtea-bin (or, I think, other Java versions).

Also, could you possibly set your mailer to use plain text when writing the list, please? 

Stroller.

A bit ago I was surprised to find out that
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android-support.html exists. You might look at
it, I can't personally recommend it.
See also http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/platform-notes-android.html.

I tend to suggest people at least look at the Google provided
workflow. There are "issues" if you attempt to deviate from it which
inevitably go back to the design of Android. Your device wasn't meant
to do a lot, sadly.

There are many fronts related to Android and the intersection with
Gentoo. Here are a few links to get ideas on how to proceed:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Android

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/embedded/287663

https://github.com/gentoid

https://code.google.com/p/gentroid/

hth,

Thanks for the tips, it seems that, for the Gentoo's mainstream Qt-4.X ,
the solution for android development goes through "Necessitas"/"Maestro",
but with Qt-5.X, it is already built-in.
