Re: [Development] Help needed to test Ministro 10.3, needed for Qt 5.4!

[Thomas Senyk]

That's a real shame!

Just to clarify / for the record, is the following a result of 
MODE_WORLD_READABLE not working any more:

D/AndroidRuntime( 9159): Shutting down VM
E/AndroidRuntime( 9159): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
E/AndroidRuntime( 9159): Process: org.qtproject.example.foo, PID: 9159

... or is it (as I first though) about a the deployment folder mismatch?
(within the apk it's lib/armeabi-v7a, but the device looks for it in 
lib/arm/)

[Harri Pasanen]

Hmm... looking at the issue it seems to me that it is not going to be 
fixed, it is an intentional change.   They are tightening the platform 
from security point of view, and this change is similar to change that 
made removable SD cards much less useful in KitKat: 
https://plus.google.com/+TodLiebeck/posts/gjnmuaDM8sn


http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#MODE_WORLD_READABLE 
says it has been deprecated since API level 17, so I doubt they'll bring 
it back.


Ministro has had a good run, but unless I'm mistaken this basically 
kills it?

Hello folks,

I have some bad news about Ministro on Android 5.0. Due to a bug
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79478 introduced by
Google in Android 5.0 final release apps that are using Ministro
are not working anymore, on Android L preview it worked just fine.
I hope in the next Android version Google will fix this problem.

New stuff added to Ministro 10.
- application startup up speed improvement, I've cuted +150ms from the
time that your application needs to wait for Ministro's response, now
your application waits 2-4ms (of course if Ministro doesn't need to

- extract Qt 5.4 QuickControls style info
- speed up the theme extraction (now it needs 2/3 of the previous
time).
- extract InsetDrawable. On Android 4.4.4 it seems this Drawable is
used and will crash QWidget based apps if is not extracted.

New stuff added to 10.1
 - bumped MINISTRO_MAX_API_LEVEL

New stuff added to 10.3

 - extract default palette & fonts, needed by Qt 5.4
 - extract some Android 5.0 specific look and style info.

 - I bumped the version to 10.3 by mistake and I pushed it, so
there was no 10.2 :).

How to test it:

Re: [Development] Help needed to test Ministro 10.3, needed for Qt 5.4!

[BogDan]

Hi,

  Well the bug-type is Defect and is still opened, so, we'll have to wait for 
the next version and see what happens. A similar problem I've had with Android 
3.0, back them they've screwed .dex class loading, but they've fixed in the 
next version.

Cheers,
BogDan.

Please "star" the android issue so that Google developers understand the
severity of the problem.

It's not like only six people are affected by this.

[Development] Help needed to test Ministro 10.3, needed for Qt 5.4!

[BogDan]

Hello folks,

I have some bad news about Ministro on Android 5.0. Due to a bug 
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79478 introduced by Google 
in Android 5.0 final release apps that are using Ministro are not working 
anymore, on Android L preview it worked just fine. I hope in the next Android 
version Google will fix this problem.

New stuff added to Ministro 10.
- application startup up speed improvement, I've cuted +150ms from the
time that your application needs to wait for Ministro's response, now
your application waits 2-4ms (of course if Ministro doesn't need to
download/extract anything).
- extract Qt 5.4 QuickControls style info
- speed up the theme extraction (now it needs 2/3 of the previous time).
- extract InsetDrawable. On Android 4.4.4 it seems this Drawable is
used and will crash QWidget based apps if is not extracted.

New stuff added to 10.1 - bumped MINISTRO_MAX_API_LEVEL
New stuff added to 10.3 - for more exceptions on Android 5.0 - extract default 
palette & fonts, needed by Qt 5.4 - extract some Android 5.0 specific look and 
style info.

What happen with 10.2? - I bumped the version to 10.3 by mistake and I pushed 
it, so there was no 10.2 :).
How to test it:
- make sure the previous version is installed and your apps are using it.
- install over the previous version ($ adb install -r Ministro\ II\ v10.3.apk).
  * Ministro will extract again *ONCE* the style.
  * Trying your existing apps should *NOT* trigger any new downloads.
- after you test your applications with Ministro installed on top of
previous Ministro version, please test in on a clean installation. So,
go to settings -> apps and remove Ministro, then install it again ($
adb install Ministro\ II\ v10.3.apk).
  * Ministro should extract style info and certificates and it should
