Munich<br></font><br>
Slides and pictures (some showing Android related stuff here)<br>http://wp.me/pPoYq-cw<br><br>Audience Q&A (My answers, feel free to correct me):<br><br>Q: Can one create completely native Qt apps?<br>A: Yes, but this port has at the moment decided to stay with the Java<br>wrapper because of several reasons (needs Java bindings anyway for<br>some parts, and also older API level support)<br><br>Q: What about a commercial license?<br>A: There is no commercial license for Qt for Android at the moment<br><br>Q: How big is Qt?<br>A: For my example 16Mb, I think a "complete" version is around 20ish<br><br>Q: What will Ministro do when one application needs a newer version of<br>Qt than an already installed one?<br>A: This can't happen at the moment. There is _one_ Qt version that<br>Ministro servers (to normal end users), and for every app launch<br>Ministro checks if there is a newere version. This means Qt is always<br>updated to your latest
version.<br><br>Q: What about internationalization?<br>A: I haven't tested it yet, but tr() and qstr() should work out of the<br>box as for other platforms<br><br>Q: Does Qt provide any special ways to deal with the different screen<br>resolutions on Android?<br>A: Not that I know of.<br><br>Audience comments:<br><br>Comment 1: There seems to be a big risk of potential regressions with<br>Qt (through Ministro updates)<br>I agreed this was true, but also explained how the setup with Ministro<br>config and stable/testing/unstable is supposed to work.<br><br>Comment 2: The audience in both sessions gave a spontaneous applaus<br>when seeing Qt Creator building, deploying and running Qt on an<br>Android phone :D<br><br>Comment 3: Thumbs up, lots of positive feedback.<br><br>The first session was more than full. The second one was 90% full.<br>Basically I believe around 200-300 more people now know about<br>Necessitas :D<br><br>Also I did see senyk show of
the OpenGL plugin for Qt in another talk<br>(see pictures) and also a company e-gits showing of some demo on Qt<br>for Android/ Necessitas as well.<br><br>It is clear that the Qt community is really interested in this. One<br>even said to me (after having talked about Qt's potential to reach<br>Android, iOS and now BBX/QNX) that we rekindled his beliefe in Qt<br>everywhere for the mobile.<br><br>I did not have time to be at the Qt Contributor Day session on<br>Android, so someone else please summarize that one.<br><br>I also said that alpha3 would probably be available by end of next<br>week(?) and that at the moment there is no BIC promise with alpha2.<br><br>espen<br>_______________________________________________<br>Necessitas-devel mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Necessitas-devel@kde.org" href="mailto:Necessitas-devel@kde.org">Necessitas-devel@kde.org</a><br><a href="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/necessitas-devel"
