Adding extra files to your app

I have written an app and I also have an executable file that i can run on android but I would like it so that when I install my app the executable can be called there to so I want it to be included with it for example when I look in the file /data/data/com.example.myapp/files the executable will be in there. I am using qt 5.2 creator. Does anybody know how to do this?

Hi,

Your question is not really clear. AFAIU you want to have your executable in two places ? If not, can you show exactly what you would like to have and where ?

@SGaist It might have been a mistake for me to call it an executable because that could be distracting from the question. Lets just say it is a file I want to go along with my program. I want to install my program and then when I use adb shell and cd /data/data/org.qtproject.example.myProgram I would like to be able to find this file somewhere under the directory of my myProgram.

Ok, it's clearer now. Then I think you are looking for that "document":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qmake-advanced-usage.html#installing-files

@SGaist thank you, I will look into this. I appreciate the reply!

@SGaist Does my file need to be in a specific place before I can use this? Is that documentation specific for android because I am having problems with it.

AFAIK no
