Android

Will Android support ever come back? On my tablet running an old version of Android it opened up fine. I transferred the apk to my new tablet and I just get a white screen, if it was supported for later Android it may partially function.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in Android. So the problem why Android isn't supported yet, is because of Qt.

Porn Fetch is developed using Qt's PySide6. Usually the graphical user interface is done with C++ but PySide6 allows you to use Python for it. However, there are some problems with it when it comes to Android. Qt started to officially support Android on PySide6 2 years ago and since then I have always tried very hard to get Porn Fetch on Android. Some older versions of Porn Fetch e.g. 3.1 does have a working Android version, but every new release of PySide6 often breaks things, that I cannot control.

Currently the issue is that UI Widgets aren't responding or they respond too slowly. For example you click on one of these Line Edits and if you write something it takes some seconds until the text appears and it's very buggy in general.

I have tried a lot of things to fix these issues by reverting to an older version of PySide6, using other compilers, Android SDKs and so on, but nothing really worked.

I can only wait until Qt has fixed those issues.
But I also would need to make a separate layout for Porn Fetch and it is a lot of work in general. I currently don't have time, since school is really tough nowadays and I just don't have the resources like back in the days.
I'll probably release Porn Fetch version 3.5 at the end of February, maybe even March and then I can focus on the Android version.

Edit: I will open a detailed discussion about that :)
