How to install the application on an ubuntu Touch device

Question

I looked in Ubuntu Touch.

So, I installed ubuntu on Nexus 10 according to the instructions here

I built a sample application following the instructions here

So now I have a device using ubuntu touch and an application, how can I put the application on the device?

Answer 1

You can use Qt Creator : connect your Ubuntu Touch Device via a USB port, open your project and just press Ctrl+F12 .

This only works if you once installed an ssh server on the device.

Alternatively, you can do this manually . Copy the necessary files (* .qml and * .desktop) to the device and run the application via ssh

 qmlscene --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/qmlscene.desktop YourApp.qml

Remember that this is a beta version, and if you are not a developer, then at this stage you will not have much benefit for Ubuntu Touch. In the end, Ubuntu Touch will have its own app store, where it will be much easier to download applications and install them on your device.

Answer 2

If you are using sdk provided by Ubuntu then you only need to go:

Build → Ubuntu Touch → Install the application on the device

This will actually install the application instead of launching it. Now you can bring your prototypes with you =)
