How to set icon for Qt Android app in CMake?

SGaist

What exactly did you do ?

Akshai

@SGaist Please see steps below.

Created Qt android project in CMake and build in release mode.
Created a folder named "android" in project folder (Where CMakeLists.txt file exist)
Copied "AndroidManifest.xml" from "android-build" folder and paste it to "android" folder which already created in step 2.
Open Projects option Qt , and under "Build Android APK" option selected "Create Templates" and edited "AndroidManifest.xml" (Added icon)
Build again and deployed. The icon not updated.!

Please see my edited "AndroidManifest.xml" file below.

Check the xml file in the build folder to see if it has changed. If not, delete the build folder and start anew.

@SGaist I checked "AndroidManifest.xml" file in the build folder, it is not changed. "AndroidManifest.xml" file in the build folder will update everytime when we building. So if i modified the file, it will not reflect in the build apk.

SGaist

It's not that one that you have to change. It's the one you copied into your sources. It should then be used when building your application.

Akshai

@SGaist I could not set the modified "AndroidManifest.xml" path which should be used when building your application. How can i set through "CMakeLists.txt" file?

SGaist

Did you already do what is described here ?

Akshai

@SGaist Yes i did it in the way. But no result. Please see my attached screenshot.

SGaist

Which version of Qt are you using ?

Akshai

@SGaist Latest one.

SGaist

That's Qt Creator. I am asking which version you use to build your application.

Akshai

@SGaist This one.

SGaist

So you put your Androïd related changes in the else clause that concerns Qt 5.

Akshai

@SGaist What to do? please guide me.

SGaist

Move your changes to the Qt 6 part of the if.

Akshai

@SGaist Done as mentioned. But there is no change found. Please see screenshot.

Remember to do a full rebuild (clean, run cmake, rebuild) when you change cmake code.

@Akshai also, delete the app from your device, let it install fresh

Akshai

@sierdzio @J-Hilk I have done as you guys mentioned. Couldn't found any change.

I have exactly same problem. Can't set icon and force portrait mode.
AndroidManifest.xml from android directory and from build directory not same.

Qt 6.4, QtCreator 8.0.2
