I'm trying to put some image files in an external .rcc binary file, adding this resource file in the app using QResource::registerResource() to be able to access the images.
The .rcc file is correctly generated and it works great in desktop. But I don't know how to bundle the external .rcc files into the Android package built by QtCreator.
In my CMakeLists.txt I have that to create the .rcc file:
# creating the 'MyModule' qml module in my app
qt_add_qml_module(MyModule
...
# I don't want to use RESOURCES here because I want them to be in a separate binary file
)
# creating the target 'images' which will compile the images.qrc into images.rcc
qt_add_binary_resources(images images.qrc)
# making the qrc file discoverable by QtCreator
target_sources(images PRIVATE images.qrc)
# adding the target images as a dependency to build it when the module is built
add_dependencies(MyModule images)
I know I could manually copy the .rcc file from the build directory into the ${ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR}/assets folder and rerun the build from Qt Creator.
This is working fine, but it's not a viable solution.
Is there a way to automatically add the generated external .rcc files into the android package assets folder?
(I don't necessarily search for a cross-platform solution, but an android specific one)
