It depends what you want to implement.
Hello Wysota,
i already said that its a chat application for example lets say a lite version of whatsApp , just a chat application between different clients over the internet
so i was wondering if Qt for Android has more or extra features most likely in the general android framework or any other specific sites of android development regarding this
as i said before

You make it sound so easy , you give a person an optimistic spirit to try it even though the person has no clue about it.Originally Posted by wysota
would you suggest or recommend any references, documentations, or examples ? anything for a start up
I have never tried Qt for Android and i have a project , so i was hoping to build it using Qt instead of the usual java and eclipse programming.
Thanks.
I would recommend to first think what you want to do and only then start wondering how you are going to do it. If you say "I want to develop an app just like X" then I will say "why do it if X already exists?".
I know what i want to do, the application will have features that is not found in a lot of apps.
im not planing on deploying it, i just want to make it for my university project.
so any recommendations about Qt for Android and the QStandardAndroidChat class passing the thinking phase?
Great, however we don't so how do you want us to help you?
If you are asking whether you can write a chat application using Qt then I will say "yes, you can". If you ask whether you can write a chat application with Java then I will say "yes, you can". If you ask which one you should use, I'd say "use the one you feel more comfortable with".
Thanks for the reply.
I kinda asked it that way at first but then i added that i mean does Qt have or add extra features to android developmemt. If you i would start right away with Qt for Android otherwise, i would just use java and eclipse for that.
Thats exactly my question.
Extra fratures such as more android widgets, more styles, good looking GUI. like would it be more facilitated using Qt for android ?
Im confortable with using Qt and java. I usualy use java for android but if Qt offers more regarding android developmemt, features, UI,s, custome widgets, etc... i would be more than ready to use Qt.
hope this clears my idea.
Just a general idea for what i asked.Great, however we don't so how do you want us to help you?
For example you suggested QStandardAndroidChat
Suggest some examples or documentaions or references regarding my case
Thanks.
What kind of "extra features"? Does it make your phone brew coffee? No, it doesn't. But it has Qt Quick you can use for your UI. I don't know if you consider it an edge or not.
No, no "more widgets", no "more styles". As for "good looking GUI" I guess this is kind of personal preference.Extra fratures such as more android widgets, more styles, good looking GUI.
I don't know what "your case" is. As you said yourself it is you who knows what you want to do, not us.Suggest some examples or documentaions or references regarding my case

Alright thanks for your fast reply. staright to the point answer, i appreciate that.
Btw nice joke or sarcasm there * does it make your phone brew coffee * good one :P
Best Regards.
You are asking a Qt forum group,, so we would anyway suggest you to use Qt,,,
you can search on net for advantages of Qt and decide if you want it.
Also for your understanding, Qt for Android was not a primary target. So you may not even find 100% features of Qt on Android.
But then why use Qt ? Because you may be able to deploy your application to other supported platforms like Symbian, MeeGo, SailFish in future. [Unless you dont use platform specific code]

Stick to Java. Qt is not mature enough on android. Specially for the case of a university project, you will waste more time setting up you environment then actual code.
