The qt examples work on the Android. That is many - most of those I have tried - of them start ok.
Many do need win like interaction and then the Android may not show the menus or places for mouse action. In general the qt is far from ready on the Android and only an interesant first attempt. The JHS on the Android is also sometimes expecting some win action. Like the jtable opens with editing option on win but on the Android it opens the cells like on win but no keyboard appears. Strangly the similar grid demo6 opens for editing cells and keyboard appears. The console for Android is very good but adding addons make things go wrong. As important I think the Android is the J workings are somewhat disappointing.
