qt 5.1.1, android, and tricks

Update, qt 5.2 works fine with build-tools r19. Tested with prebuilt qt, both on win8.1 and archlinux. Some old demos do not run. Bad news is the qt 5.2 I compiled from source did not work.

I finally got hellogl_es2 demo to run, after 3 days trying. So far it works on my archlinux. I guess I can make it work on win8.1.

Qt is not that ready for android in my option, at least 5.1. I am not sure about the coming 5.2. There are too many tricks. You need to get right versions of jdk, jre, apache-ant, android-sdk, android-ndk, and so on.

I try to list my settings as detailed as possible.

archlinux 64bit rolling updated.
offical package:
extra/jdk7-openjdk 7.u45_2.4.3-1
extra/jre7-openjdk 7.u45_2.4.3-1
extra/apache-ant 1.9.2-3

aur package:
android-armv7a-eabi-system-image-15 4.0.4_r02-2
android-armv7a-eabi-system-image-19 4.4_r01-1
android-ndk r9b-3
android-platform-10 2.3.3_r02-2
android-platform-11 3.0_r02-2
android-platform-15 4.0.4_r03-1
android-platform-16 4.1.2_r04-1
android-sdk r22.3-1
android-sdk-platform-tools r19-1
android-udev 67-1
(archlinux split sdk into small package, you can also install and manage them through the android-sdk interface)

custom package:
android-qt5 5.1.1-1(I compile qt 5.1.1 for android from source)
android-sdk-build-tools-18.0.1 r18.1.1-1(critical part, latest r19 is not supported by QT5.1. You will have build.xml error with r19)

win 8.1
Make jdk, jre, apache-ant, android-sdk, and ndk up to date.
In the android package managing interface, remove build-tools r19, install r18.1.1.
Double check your system environment variables, ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME.
If ant works, qt for android should work out of box via qt-creator.
