Qml deploiment to Android, in a sub project architecture

drenghel

Hi there !

I've run into quite the pickle, I'm deving an app that's quite large, meaning that I want it to be unit tested so I divided it in 3.

projectName/
├── app/
│   └── app.pro (lib template)
├── projectName_app.pro (<- subdir template )
├── run/
│   └── run.pro (app template, containing the main)
└── tests/
    └── tests.pro (test template)

I have 99% of my code, qrc included, in a lib qmake template (called 'app') , that's gets linked against a run (app template) project and against a test project.

All that works fine on Desktop (Linux/Win) but trouble arrives when I try to deploy to Android, I'm getting messages saying that all my QtQuick imports of the top of my Main.qml aren't found....

"org.qtproject.example.run" died.

I tried deploying while having only the app project (moving my main.cpp there), works like a charm, but it kinda defeat the whole point.

How can I tell the whole blockchain to handle the Qml imports correctly, while keeping that architecture ?

EDITS:

Wild guess, I feel like androiddeployqt is supposed to do the job, copying qml files to the asset folder, but I doesn't do it in my configuration
ANDROID_EXTRA_PLUGINS looks interesting too

Looks like I can trick androiddeployqt into copying qml files needed, by adding a file at run folder's root:

#imports.qml

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.5
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.12

Item{

}

But it doesn't work all the way, some dependencies further down the way doesn't get resolved...
(And it's pretty ugly ^^")

Cheers ;)
