Building APK suggestion

Post by Gale FORd »

If you are building and testing FiveTouch apk this might save a couple of steps.
Previous steps to get updated apk on phone.
  • Build apk with qtcreator
    locate and copy apk to new location and name.
    create email and attach apk.
    then wait for phone to read email and install app.
New steps
  • Build apk with qtcreator
    click link on phone
    download and install new version
I added a custom make process to copy apk to new location with new name.
The new location is actually a virtual directory on web server.
So after the build I just have to click link on phone and it downloads new apk.
Here is the custom make process.

This is the copyapk.bat in c:\fivetouch

In order to download apk from web site you may need to add mime type for .apk
Here is the mime type info.
Extension: .apk
MIME type: application/vnd.android.package-archive

Now i can just build, click on link to download, and install new version.
