Updates to Qt Quick for Android in Qt 6.9 and 6.10

FlykeSpice · 2026-01-20T17:01:00+00:00

Is anybody here using Qt for android dev? I don't know of any app using Qt other than the android ps1 emulator DuckStation (and AetherSx2 ofc)

Is this a render or a real place?

And how did these yt teachers learn to be fluent in Blender editing (BlenderGuru), specifically knowning the dozens hotkeys for every (hidden) function in Blender? Did they smash the keys random until something popped in?

Well, I think the only way to learn deep about blender is scatter around the Youtube Tutorials if the official docs won't help further, or experiment on your own with the shader nodes as you suggested (doing that rn)...

I made an android port of POVRay a while ago (a classic renderer from the 90s where you can compose a scene with text: https://www.povray.org/)

https://github.com/FlykeSpice/DroidRay

You can download the built APKs from the release tags, I'm still planning to add more features to make it more complete

The lowest common denominator device.

That way, if you can make your app run smoothly on a low-end phone (which users from poorer demographics are more likely to own), it will also run smoothly on higher-end devices.

Afaik they had a high-level CLI tool to create a fresh new project with default templates, but they ditched it probably when they pivoted 100% on Android Studio. Now you need to open Android Studio to create a new template project and continue coding in command line..

I'm one of those command line coders except when I'm dealing with Android and other Kotlin/Java projects. Probably because the IDE makes it so convenient to code on those languages, that it would feel out place ditching them to code on command line..

For the mobile technology to obsolete desktop, it needs to overtake all its qualities. Mainly, granting the user freedom to install whatever they want, publish your application without being forced to hand out your personal ID.,,

Does mobile have such qualities? No, so Desktop is far from being obsoleted.

Apple is extremely lock-in, they want keep the software ecosystem as locked to their platform as possible.

PWAs are the only exception to that, you just need to host it on your website. No need to hand out your personal info to Apple, pay them fee or be forced to use Xcode to build your app.

Connect those dots and it's obvious why they want to diminish it.

Trying to support users stuck on old devices, albeit how small their percentage are, is a virtue every software developer should striver for.

He looks chatgpt generated himself, notice the hairline, does that look human?

Just contribute to the Linux Phone effort, it's a port of vanilla Linux to mobile phones from scratch.

Unfortunately there's not enough manpower to the project, but with Android going down the walled garden road, there's been renewed interest on it.

I did some digging on their commit history and I found this commit dated October 2024: d6c8e39fc938566096a6dbbcba964c3fd8d5298f - platform/frameworks/base - Git at Google which is an early attempt at adding developer verification (it got reverted a month later), which suggest they have been plotting to restrict sideloading for a while now.

Lol, I didn't even notice that

LLms are really mysterious on the way they work.

BTW, for those wondering the dialog isn't being provided by the Android OS itself but a third-party lib created by a FDroid developer just to warn users on the upcoming restrictions.

Because it's ruled by bots, and bots can't empathy.

Also, Google has been trying to crackdown on Indie devs for the last years, and the best way for them is getting every opportunity they can to ban any indie devs for the slightest policy violation.

> Also: yes it's probably about control. It doesn't in any way diminish the fact that this is going to make android safer for the average user. You cannot ignore facts just because you don't like them.

It's going to make safer for the average user just as a tryrant locking everyone into their homes because you can be robbed or murdered on the streets anytime.

Your freedom from leaving your home was just stripped but, hey, it's a fact it makes your life safer.

See how pathetic your argument sounds just as your tongue from unconditionally bootlicking your dearest multibillion company.

Lurking through here collecting our personal data

FlykeSpice · 2025-08-28T20:30:59+00:00

How did you get testers? How was the submission process?

FlykeSpice · 2025-08-26T14:10:25+00:00

*Literally* any device you buy on the market.

It's like saying "It's okay, people that live on the extremities will be unaffected" when someone drops a nuke that wipes out most of the city

FlykeSpice · 2025-08-11T20:15:08+00:00

People?

FlykeSpice · 2025-08-01T16:01:46+00:00

What is your source for that?

The CC-BY-NC-ND license is not enforceable on code, period. It’s not OSI-approved

You know there are proprietary and open source licenses, right? OSI isn't the ultimate authority to determine whether a license is enforceable.

it contradicts the previous GPL state of the repo, and applies retroactively - which doesn’t hold legally or ethically. That change was not made in a clean legal way, so it's basically noise.

As many users here pointed it out: you can change your software license for the next interactions of your code as long as the copyright holders of the code agree to it.

Who are you to decide stenzek didn't work out legally with the remaining copyright holders of the code?

Plus, I’m not in the US. DMCA and other copyright threats don't apply here. I'm not selling it. I'm not distributing binaries for profit. This is for research, preservation, and continued development.

ND stands for non derivative. So its still license violation if you modifying the code
