How to set icon for Qt Android app in CMake?

[SGaist]

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.

[J.Hilk]

@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

I just yesterday figured this out for my app.

• I use QT_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR instead.
  See the full CMake snippet here;

    set_target_properties(pay_mobile PROPERTIES
       QT_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/android
   )

• The XML file is in my subdir 'android' (as the above shows). It includes the property android:icon="@drawable/icon"
  Example here.

• In that same 'android' directory there is a `res/drawable' set of directories which contain the icons with the 'icon' base for the filename. Both of those you can see reflected in the above point. link.

Hope that helps!

@TomZ Thank you !
Adding this solved the issue ! Now everything works like a charm.

if (ANDROID)
    set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES
        QT_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/android
    )
    qt6_android_generate_deployment_settings(${PROJECT_NAME})
    qt_android_add_apk_target(${PROJECT_NAME})
endif ()
