Someone previously mentioned you need to have a qrc file in your project.
1)File->New->Qt Resource file(.qrc).
2)Add your bitmaps, string tables, etc... to the qrc file.
3)For each file, also provide an alias for the source directory: i.e. /
That makes it easier for it to be found within the .jar/apk file once it
is packaged for deployment.

BTW Although in QT, QML is perceived as a source file, but with respect
to ANDROID, a qml file is a resource file, since it is not a c++ nor a
.java file.  .cpp/.java files are the only files considered as source
files when building android applications.  That means you might need to
put your .qml file into the .qrc with an alias / mapped to it also.

Do this and your resource file not found errors should go away.
