Qt Android Automotive 6.7 is released

The latest release of Qt for Android Automotive (QtAA) is out, based on Qt 6.7.

What's new

• There is a new Qt Quick implementation of ActivityView

  • ActivityView is a handy API for displaying Android's Activity inside Qt applications. This version added TexturedActivityView as the default back-end of the ActivityView module. With the new back-end, QQuickActivityView supports resizing, z-ordering, and transformation as with any other QQuickItem. At the same time, several known issues of previous versions of ActivityView have been solved.

    Example 1. Two native Android apps hosted inside the Qt Quick UI

• • Example 2. A more sophisticated example of a blending native Android app (Clock) with Qt Quick and Qt Quick 3D HMIs.

• Support for Android Studio workflow

  • With Qt 6.7 as a base, users of Qt Android Automotive 6.7 can create hybrid Java and Qt applications with an Android Studio workflow. This enables use cases where an existing HMI project is Java based, but there is a new requirement to add e.g. real-time 3D rendering mixed inside the same application.
