PlatformInputContext plugin does not load

Vinoth

Hi,

I have compiled the Virtual keyboard plugin based on

https://github.com/githubuser0xFFFF/QtFreeVirtualKeyboard

for my ARM target. It worked fine on my Ubuntu desktop. On target, the plugin is not getting loaded.
I tried to debug with 'export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1'. There are two problems.

My /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/ is not searched for the plugin at all.
I copied the contents of the above folder to another folder where other plugin was loaded. Then I found the following in the traces:

{
"IID": "org.qt-project.Qt.QPlatformInputContextFactoryInterface",
"MetaData": {
"Keys": [
"freevirtualkeyboard"
]
},
"className": "VirtualKeyboardInputContextPlugin",
"debug": false,
"version": 328449
}
Got keys from plugin meta data ()

I am not sure why the Got keys value is empty. On Desktop this shows the value 'freevirtualkeyboard'.

Regards,
Vinoth

@Vinoth What is not clear: do you try to use the same lib on your ARM device which you use on your host?

Vinoth

Yes, I am trying to use the same lib for my ARM device, after compiling the library for my ARM device.
