<![CDATA[Qt6 android service?]]>Best I could find are docs that tell one to add Java code for this, all sources instruct one to add QT += androidextras but when building that results in Unknown module(s) in QT: androidextras.

Is there any way to make it a foreground one? The Qt doc even mentions it but doesn't give an instruction

"Code from these Qt <platform> Extras modules will find new homes in more relevant modules over time, and any remaining APIs considered for inclusion in later 6.x releases:

Qt Android Extras
Qt Mac Extras
Qt X11 Extras
Qt Windows Extras"
