Android: Include external library with resources

[DanKolle]

Hello,

I try to add the external library android-support-v7-mediarouter which works fine for deployment when I add the JAR file to the libs folder.

The problem is that the resources are missing. I found the following statement on the internet:

bq. You can't just include the jars. You need to add the android.support.v7.mediarouter project as a Android Library dependency. That way, the resources from the project will get merged into your own.
Inside the mediarouter folder run android update lib-project -p . and then you can add it as a dependency.

I added the libs as dependencies to build.gradle but it seems they are completely ignored:
@dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3'
compile 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:21.0.3'
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}@

bq. [echo] Resolving Dependencies for QtApp...
[dependency] Library dependencies:
[dependency] No Libraries

I wonder how I would achieve the same with Qt Creator? The external libs that I can add seem to be limited to SO files.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Look at how to include Facebook SDK into Android Qt application:

I think that you should do the same for your lib.
