How to custom qml virtual keyboard ?

[raven-worx]

@small_bird
my "fault". but anyway again this is described in the link i've posted.

In the given import path Qt expects the style to be in the path /QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/Styles
So add your style.qml into the following qrc path (where STYLENAME is the name you provide in the QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_STYLE env variable):
:/kbstyles/QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/Styles/STYLENAME => so it becomes :/kbstyles/QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/Styles/STYLENAME/style.qml

So QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_STYLE determines the folder name (which contains a style.qml) not the name of the qml file itself.

@small_bird
last time...
engine->addImportPath(":/kbstyles")

@raven-worx Does not work, thanks all the same!

@small_bird
if you follow the instructions in my post it definitely works, i used it myself already.
If not you are still doing something wrong.
Only advice left i can give is try a full rebuild (clean, rerun qmake, build again)

The problem may be in the order of the addImportPath and engine.load actions. I found that

engine.load(QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"));

must be executed only after

engine.addImportPath("qrc:/kbstyles");
qputenv("QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_STYLE", "mykbstl");

So the code must be something like this:

QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
engine.addImportPath("qrc:/kbstyles");
qputenv("QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_STYLE", "mykbstl");
engine.load(QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"));

The correct path for styles is actually not just QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/Styles.
In the documentation it states it is: $$[QT_INSTALL_QML]/QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/Styles.
If the path to QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/Styles is qrc:/kbstyles as above then to include the [QT_INSTALL_QML] portion for QML >= 2.0.0 put in main.cpp:
qputenv("QML2_IMPORT_PATH", "qrc:/kbstyles")

The code should look similar to this:

QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
qputenv("QML2_IMPORT_PATH", "qrc:/kbstyles");

engine.addImportPath("qrc:/kbstyles");
qputenv("QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_STYLE", "keyboardStyle");

qputenv("QT_VIRTUALKEYBOARD_LAYOUT_PATH",
"qrc:/kbstyles/QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/layouts");

engine.load(QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"));

@dmendez thanks, it worked!
