This information is still here for reference:

In case of problem it is usefull to have a look at the adb logcat, to get it instal the android SDK on your pc (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/logcat.html) an easier alternative might be free application aLogCat on the android market (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat).

QGIS android APK package:

• Install and run the QGIS installer
• The whole installation process takes around 10min, you will be downloading around 100+Mb of qgis + 25Mb of Qt libraries, so maybe doing it on a wifi is better.
• you might be prompted to install Ministro II by BogDan Vatra via the market, this is the Qt libraries manager.
• Once ministro is installed hit the back button twice to go back to qgis or start QGIS again and you will be asked if you want to install the Qt libraries. Say yes.
• Once ministro is done, QGIS should start.

QGIS android dev setup:

• git clone https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Android.git or fork an clone
• Install Necessitas (http://necessitas.kde.org/necessitas/necessitas_sdk_installer.php http://files.kde.org/necessitas/installer/release/linux-online-necessitas-alpha4.1-sdk-installer )and choose at least:
  • NDK r8b (DEFAULT)
  • Qt 4.8-armeabi (DEFAULT)
  • Android api 15
• get QGIS master from https://github.com/mbernasocchi/QGIS #or if you only want upstream code git://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git either by cloning or forking and cloning)
• git checkout android-master
• copy and configure QGIS-Android/scripts/config.templ to QGIS-Android/scripts/config.conf
• run scripts/build-all.sh OR
  • run scripts/setup-env.sh
  • run scripts/build-libs.sh
  • run scripts/build-qgis.sh -c
  • run scripts/update-apk-env.sh
  • run scripts/build-apk.sh
  • setup the device or emulator (see http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/index.html)
  • run scripts/run-apk.sh

example copy paste code: GITHUBUSERNAME="myNAME" GITHUBPASSWORD="myPASS" cd dev #get necessitas wget http://files.kde.org/necessitas/installer/release/linux-online-necessitas-alpha4.1-sdk-installer chmod +x linux-online-necessitas-alpha4.1-sdk-installer ./linux-online-necessitas-alpha4.1-sdk-installer

see below for adding a remote instead of cloning

#fork QGIS curl -u "$GITHUBUSERNAME:$GITHUBPASSWORD" -i -d '' https://api.github.com/repos/mbernasocchi/QGIS/fork git clone [email protected]:$GITHUBUSERNAME/QGIS.git cd QGIS git checkout android-master cd .. #fork qqis-android curl -u "$GITHUBUSERNAME:$GITHUBPASSWORD" -i -d '' https://api.github.com/repos/qgis/QGIS-Android/fork git clone [email protected]:$GITHUBUSERNAME/QGIS-Android.git cp QGIS-Android/scripts/config.templ QGIS-Android/scripts/config.conf nano QGIS-Android/scripts/config.conf #configure to your wishes ./QGIS-Android/scripts/build-all.sh ./QGIS-Android/scripts/run-apk.sh

adding a remote git remote add qgis git://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git git checkout -b android-master git pull mbernasochi android-master
