A glimpse of future – hbdbu on android

Just to confirm that it is possible to run a Harbour application using QtContribs on android I post a screenshot taken from my Nexus mobile.

Not one line of QtContribs (hbqt/hbdbu/harbour) has been modified to build the android version.

Some changes may be needed since message boxes are implemented natively and don’t support html code… pressing the (i) button shows html text….

In the third part of the series I will describe how to build hbdbu for android. Pritpal is also creating a tutorial: we share the same goal but we are taking different roads.

Please also keep in mind that Qt5.2.x and Qt5.3 BETA have problems with latest Android SDK so if you are following Pritpal tutorial and want to deploy to the virtual device you will probably need to set the enviroment variable

ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH     default/armeabi-v7a

If you want to deploy to a real device, you probably need to unset it.
