Build the gallery example app on Android:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/share/ECM/toolchain/Android.cmake -DQTANDROID_EXPORTED_TARGET=kirigami2gallery -DANDROID_APK_DIR=../examples/galleryapp/ -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/Qt5.7.0/5.7/android_armv7/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/dummy/install/prefix -DECM_DIR=/path/to/share/ECM/cmake -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=ON
You need a -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to somewhere in your home, but using an absolute path
If you have a local checkout of the breeze-icons repo, you can avoid the cloning of the build dir
by passing also -DBREEZEICONS_DIR=/path/to/existing/sources/of/breeze-icons
make
make install
make create-apk-kirigami2gallery
kirigamigallery_build_apk/bin/QtApp-debug.apk will be generated
to directly install on a phone:
adb install -r ./kirigami2gallery_build_apk/bin/QtApp-debug.apk
- Build kirigami
use the same procedure mentioned above (but without BUILD_EXAMPLES switch
cd into kirigami sources directory.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/share/ECM/toolchain/Android.cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/Qt5.7.0/5.7/android_armv7/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/dummy/install/prefix -DECM_DIR=/path/to/share/ECM/cmake
make make install
(note, omit the make create-apk-kirigami2gallery step)
2) Build your application
This guide assumes you build your application with CMake and use Extra-cmake-modules from KDE frameworks.
cd into your application sources directory.
mkdir build cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/share/ECM/toolchain/Android.cmake -DQTANDROID_EXPORTED_TARGET=yourapp -DANDROID_APK_DIR=../examples/galleryapp/ -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/Qt5.7.0/5.7/android_armv7/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/dummy/install/prefix
Note, -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX folder will be the same as where kirigami was installed, since you need to create an apk package that contains both the kirigami build and the build of your application.
make
make install
make create-apk-yourapp
where make create-apk-yourapp dependes from the actual name of your application
- Base upon the example in examples/minimalqmake
- on android, it builds it statically, on desktop systems it uses the one distribution provided (static linking mode may be useful for other systems such as iOS or Windows)
- in order to have static linking working, clone kirigami.git and breeze-icons.git under the 3rdparty folder
- in your main.cpp you'll have, only on android KirigamiPlugin::getInstance().registerTypes(); which will make the import work
- qtcreator should be able to do deployment on android out of the box
