Android asset folder deleted

MartinD

Hi,
I install some resources into asset folder during my Qt 5.11 Android app build. I noticed the asset folder is deleted during every build.

I install several hundreds MB of resources to asset folder. Is it possible to make asset folder persistent? Also I want Qt to install resources into asset folder only when a destination file do not exist or when it is older than source file. Is that possible?

where is that asset folder located exactly?
The assets folder should rely in the path you specified via ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR qmake variable in your .pro file

@raven-worx It is build-MyProject-Android_for_armeabi_v7a_GCC_4_9_Qt_5_11_2_android_armv7-Debug\android-build\assets

I use Qt Creator 4.7.2.

I install resources into asset folder using:

resources.path = /assets/resources
resources.files = $$PWD/resources/*
INSTALLS += resources

@MartinD
then place it in $$ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR/assets and during build process its copied over

btw. there is never a need to copy anything to the build folder, since this is always an intermediate directory
