    Default Re: Qt on Android - where is Qt own effort in it?

    One of the major problems with mobile development presently - is a horrible fragmentation. It's very hard to write a decent application in a cross platform manner (unless one limits it to HTML/JavaScript and some other Web technologies with something like Rhodes mobile or JqueryMobile). One is basically forced to rewrite it for each platform independently, which hugely duplicates the effort.

    Qt could really be a big help here, if it would allow real cross platform development. Come on, Android and iOS are major players, saying 31+ platforms but without Android and iOS really greatly diminishes the value of Qt for mobile development (for desktop it's unquestionably the great solution). On the other hand, Qt for Android project looks pretty active, as well as Qt for iPhone. I was just asking if anyone here evaluated how mature they are.

    About treading on someone's toes - it's a political issue. Real open source projects should not be tainted with politics (alas, it's rarely the case). Using Qt on Android or iOS will not decrease the number of apps for these OSes. If something it will only increase them. However corporations are preoccupied with controlling the market through development tools, but development tools IMHO should be neutral.
