Targeting Android with Qt
summary
Shows how to get a real Qt Quick app onto Android: install Necessitas (Android SDK, NDK, Qt libs), use OpenJDK/Ant, add Declarative and set API level 7, embed QML in resources, fix a font bolding glitch, add three icon sizes and a reverse‑domain package name, set min SDK, run ant release, sign the APK and upload. Alternatives: bundle Qt (adds ~16 MB) or use Ministro to share libraries. Debugging with GDB is flaky; market upload and instant publishing work.
