Qt5.6: added new keyboard plugin

[debian]

Hello!
I build Qt 5.6.2 for Hisilicon hi3798mv100 SoC and application should get commands from infra-red remote control unit (RCU).
Early we are use Qt-4.7.3 and I implement keyboard plugin for RCU, now I should port it to Qt5.
At this moment I make simple variant - add code to src/platformsupport/input/evdevkeyboard/, but this code contained many ifdef blocks.
What way is more correct for Qt5, how can I implement new keyboard type in Qt5?
How can I load this plugin at application start?
Thank you and excuse my bad english.

Hi,

From the looks of it you should rather implement your own input plugin and then add an entry in the generic folder to. Then you can set the QT_QPA_GENERIC_PLUGINS to load your newly created plugin.

Hope it helps.

@SGaist thank you for your reply!
Unfortunately I not see answer on major question - how should I implement input plugin?

You can take a look at the QLibInputKeyboard class to get started.
