A simplified touch optimized interface for QGIS.

Perfect for field work on portable touch devices.

QField is an open source project, licensed under the terms of the GPLv2 or later. This means that it is free to use and modify and will stay like that.

We are very happy if this app helps you to get your job done or in whatever creative way you may use it.

• Sponsor a feature
• And just drop by to say thank you or have a beer with us next time you meet OPENGIS.ch at a conference

We automatically publish the latest master build to a dedicated channel on the playstore at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.opengis.qfield_dev. You'll need to join the beta program (https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ch.opengis.qfield_dev) to start getting the latest version.

Please remember that this is the latest development build and is not tested much.

Use the dockerized QField SDK.

# get the latest tag from https://hub.docker.com/r/opengisch/qfield-sdk/tags/
TAG=20191001
cd QField

git submodule init
git submodule update

docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/src/qfield docker.io/opengisch/qfield-sdk:$TAG /usr/src/qfield/scripts/docker-build.sh --rm

This will put the apk into a subfolder build-docker/out/build/outputs/apk

Build OSGeo4A

cd QField

git submodule init
git submodule update

cp config.pri.default config.pri
# Edit config.pri

The advantage of this is, you will be able to build and deploy directly from QtCreator.

• Get QGIS 2.99 (3.0) development libraries.

cd QField
git submodule init
git submodule update

cp config.pri.default config.pri
# Edit config.pri

• open QField.pro with QtCreator (installed during OSGeo4A installation)
• hit build

add the following variables:

• QGIS_INSTALL_PATH: the same value than in the config.pri (could be /usr/local/opt/qgis3/ or the installation folder of a local build)
• DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH add _QGIS_INSTALL_PATH_/QGIS.app/Contents/Frameworks (replace _QGIS_INSTALL_PATH_)
• DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH add :_QGIS_INSTALL_PATH_/QGIS.app/Contents/Frameworks/qgis_core.framework/Versions/Current (replace _QGIS_INSTALL_PATH_)

If you get the error invalid version number in '-mmacosx-version-min=', you need to hardcode the minimum deployment target by setting version_min_flag = -m$${version_identifier}-version-min=10.10 in /usr/local/opt/qt/mkspecs/features/mac/default_post.prf.

One line command:

gsed -i "s/version_min_flag = -m\$\${version_identifier}-version-min=\$\$deployment_target/version_min_flag = -m\$\${version_identifier}-version-min=10\.10/" /usr/local/opt/qt/mkspecs/features/mac/default_post.prf

• Check Use debug version of frameworks
• Add a custom deployment step: _QField_SOURCE_DIR_/scripts/mac_deploy.sh with ${QGIS_INSTALL_PATH} as argument.
• In Debugger settings, check Enable QML

If you have any issue with qmake not finding the proper SDK, in /usr/local/opt/qt/mkspecs/features/mac/default_post.prf, replace $$QMAKE_MAC_SDK_PATH (3 occurences) by /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk
