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